Reinventing Super Mom

[irishtreasure]

If any of ya'al are like me, you feel at least some pressure to be super mom.  I am not sure where it comes from but it just seems like no matter how hard I work, I can't keep up with everything.  Do homes exist where everything is clean all the time and organized completely?  How about moms who never crave time for themselves. I have had to lower my expectations a bit, but these days if I can accomplish these I do feel pretty Super

- Spend quality time with my son for at least 3/4 of the day

- Have at least one hour a day when I can see the living room floor thru all the toys.

-Prepare healthy meals and snacks for my son and at least 3 family dinners a week.

- Play outside every day.

-Watch less sesame street.

I am sure there are more but I have already spent a little too much time on the computer today.

Okay...from a mom's point of view. hmm  My girls are old enough to have a life of their own now and where did that supermom, super-career women, super everything person get me personally (Alone) Not one connection to the world.  I cherished the time I spent razing my daughters and was great at managing time.  But that was 3 years ago.  Quality time with everything..  But always take time for you!!  Sometime other things can wait (that was hard for me to learn)

Apr. 27, 2007 at 3:32 PM My daughter is 9 months and does not want me to leave her sight EVER. (Is this normal?)  I feel my house is Always a mess and I worry I let her watch to much TV already.  We play in the living room and I keep Sprout TV on as background noise, we play outside nearly every day, but worry still.
