Super Mum
Wednesday 09 February 2011
This week I was Super Mum…
NOT because the house was clean.
NOT because the clothes were all washed.
NOT because I baked from scratch.
NOT because I was neatly dressed.
NOT because we were on-time for the school run.
NOT because I juggled a multitude of commitments.
NOT because I lived up to anyone’s expectations, including my own.
This week I was Super Mum…
BECAUSE when my son asked me to wear a cape to school, I did.
I did try all of those things in the list. Some I succeeded at. Some I failed dismally. Most I’ll be working on for a long time, and I’m ok with that. I only need to be a good-enough mum, not a supermum. Unless I’m in a cape. Then I’m seriously super.
So come on where are the pics?
And tights? Did you wear the super tights as well

Hahahaha! I thought I was brave wearing boy-made plastic multicoloured bead necklace to the park.
Very cute and very super! I hope it was pink. I can see a whole line of Mum shirts with buttons on the back to add a cape just when one’s child asks.

Good on you. (Nothing makes me smile more than a Mum out to lunch in a macaroni necklace.)

I also ventured into another category – although it was more prize Mum. I was required to wear a badge made by my 4 year old out of brightly coloured wrapping paper with lovely streamers that reached all the way down to my waist. I actually forgot that I still had it on and went visiting someone at their home afterwards – lots of smiles all round!
I am so impressed! Now THAT’S an awesome mummy!
Sometimes we have to step outside our boundaries, it gives you a good feeling to make someone else happy, espécially little people.
