This is for all those Wonderwoman Super Moms! I was thinking recently how as moms our lives change from being single or married with out kiddos. It is drastic change but can be humerous too when you think about it. I was reading an article in my Parenting magazine not too long ago about how as a mom we do things now that we would
never dream of doing or attempting prior to kids. For example... flying, when you see you child about to fall or drop something, we can literally 'fly' across the room to catch child or object. How about, Super Hearing? Can't you tell exactly what your children are whispering to each other in the next room or whether or not they are jumping "quietly" on the "no-jumping" furniture! I can tell you my children are amazed by this... so am I actually. You probably didn't know it but I am a master juggler... yes I know clowns can juggle but just the other day I was making supper while making sure Molly did not fall off the counter while she was poking toothpicks into cupcakes as well as helping Sydney manuver her Webkinz in their virtual rooms on the computer. What about when you children are sick... our ability to move our child from a carpeted area to a non-carpeted area at the Speed of Light in order to save the carpet from "the flu bug". Amazing right??? When I was little I did want to be WonderWoman and actually had the WonderWoman underwear but I figured that would be as far as it went. Little did I know that as a Mom, the Lord gives us amazing talents and abilities to be a SuperMom... which is a much better life than WonderWoman... a fictional character! So to all those moms who feel lost in the daily routine, just remember that really you live a life with super powers that only moms can appreciate!

I would like to say I am blessed enough to have a handful of truly 'best friends' that I share a lot with in life. However, I have been out of contact with my high school best friend for over 3 years now. We were inseperable in high school. We were at all of each other's family events. We could talk for hours after just having spent the whole day together. I went off to college and she stayed in K.C. We still kept in touch and wrote and called and visited every chance we got. It is hard to imagine your life without someone that you shared silly crushes, gossip, monumental birthdays, college, boyfriends, 'the man of your dreams', kids etc. etc. I guess life just got in the way. We got married started having babies, our lives just took separate paths, I suppose. I have missed being connected with her and keeping in touch with what is going on in our lives. Thankfully, through Facebook, we have found each other again! It has been wonderful! It has been so great chatting and getting reaquainted again. We are looking forward to meeting up soon and catching up in person, with lots of hugs and tears of joy! I think sometimes we don't realize how important and how much we need our friends until they are no longer in our lives, for whatever reason. So cherish your friends! Thank God for them daily! And call that one true friend you have not talked to in waaayyy to long:)
