Adventures of Super Mom....

I know that in my book if you can carry a human being inside of you for 9 months, birth it,  and raise it you're a super hero. I didn't realize how much I have been doing up until lately. It seems like I have somehow transitioned from stay at home mom, who has no life, to busy stay at home mom who is always tired and busy. The fatigue has gotten worse lately but I know it is just my body's way of telling me "slow down". Of course in my mind I can't slow down because I'm suppose to be a super hero right? Well, being pregnant really gives me no other option except to do just what my body is telling me to do. I have always felt like the more I do, the more I have achieved, the happier I am. When it's time to rest and slow down, I begin to think I have no purpose anymore. Coming to terms with the fact that this couch and I are going to be much more acquainted over these next few weeks is hard, but I have to accept it and be content. Still hoping the doctor will call me with some magic pill, or vitamin to get me up and going again. Even though I am up, working out, and awake, I can zone out VERY quickly now.

Sunday, Boo woke up with Pink Eye. Not just any pink eye either, a big swollen looked like he got punched pink eye. I couldn't help but feel powerless in the situation. Not knowing what was wrong, what caused it, I couldn't make it better...how could this be if I am a super hero? Well, of course I am not a super hero but I sure do have super hero powers when it comes towards my babies. Was able to get the eye to open with a warm bath, and that helped calm me down. Notice how I say "ME" he was not happy about his eye but once he saw I was okay, so was he. I realized at that moment that he's the super hero, not me. Somehow kids manage to always see the good in every situation, no matter what's going on. Here he is in pain, but still managing to play peek-a-boo and smile. He was a doll at the emergency room with the nurses and doctors as long as he wasn't being touched. We bribed him with a peanut butter brownie cookie to last the whole 5 hours of waiting to be seen. I just see how much I learn from him. I panic a lot but have to learn to be like him. Happy regardless of what's going on around me.  This applies to all areas of my life. Not holding onto the bad in a situation but all the good that surrounds me while I am going through tough situations.

Positive thinking is not a easy train of thought, but I know if I can visualize it, I am going to live by it. Home Depot has a giant dry eraser board for only $10. I say invest in one. Create a board with what you want and look at it everyday. I am going to challenge anyone and everyone who reads this to do just that and see if it helps you put into practice whatever it is you need to do. Goals, scriptures, positive affirmations, pictures..whatever you need to remind yourself of where you are going.  Super mom to the rescue! Have a casting for Disney tomorrow. Yippee. Wish me luck
