My Sister the Supermom

I've been thinking about my sister these last few days.  Although I know many moms who have no desire to live up to any "supermom" ideal, I like it.  I've worked hard these last few months to keep up with the housework, the laundry, the grocery shopping, the cooking, taking care of myself and being the best mom to S.  But the truth is, I can't even imagine keeping up with it all if I had more than one child.

My sister has three children.  Not only that, her husband is in the military and he just left for like 15 months!  I can't even fathom taking care of three children with help, but definitely not on my own.  I can at least pass little S off to her dad when I'm needing a break.

So, to all the moms of several children, single moms or moms who's husbands work crazy hours or are gone for days, weeks, months or years at a time, I hearby award you the title of Supermom...whether you have a clean house or not.
