Mom or Superhero?

I often find myself thinking: What am I doing with my life, what should I go to school for,  I'm just a Mom, I'm only a mom...nothing more.  

I get myself down thinking that there are more educated,  richer, fitter, adventurous, and so on people out in the world that are so much better than this little stay at home mom.   I compare myself to other people and find all my flaws and weaknesses.   I make it a point not to judge others; yet judge myself on a daily basis.   

I have been trying to be better at accepting myself for who I am and not who the world tells me I should be.  So this is what I have discovered about being just a little ole stay at home mom.

I AM AMAZING!!  
As a stay at home mom I am abe to dabble in lots of different things.  I am a chef, not great, but an aspiring chef. I am an awesome narrator, I make all the animal noises plus different voices for all the characters.   I can become a train conductor at any moment in time.  I am a singer, although to most my voice is dull and anything but special to my son it brings him is nightly lullabies as he difts off to sleep.  I am a doctor; that needs no medical equipment. I check temperatures with the back of my hand and heal owies with a soft kiss. I am always on call.  often times I rather sleep but now I know why moms look so tired.  I am a pillow, most would think "who wants to be a pillow?" But when you have a sweet child laying on you feeling his breathes it seems to be the most desirous thing you could be.  I am a teacher.  I teach math, science, english and more!! I teach please and thank you, going pee in the potty, and how to color just to name a few. I am a protector; always there in times of need and danger.  I am a magician.   I make toys reappear that had vanished.  I am a scientist, experimenting by putting lots of soap in the bath tub to discover what makes the most bubbles. I am a house keeper. This job is never ending and seems to be always beginning. As I pick up, my son destroys but I have now mastered speed cleaning. What would take most 2 hours is done in 30 minutes or less. And honestly that's not even half of what I do!

So after realizing how spectacular I really am I have decided to stop thinking of myself as 'just a mom.' I now know that I have super powers! So if you see me with my apron tied as a cape I haven't lost my mind; I just recently discovered I am a SUPERHERO!!!
