We managed to make it through the entire preschool graduation party for Macy this afternoon. It was short and sweet. The kids all sat on the floor with the teacher (she was playing the guitar) and sang songs to us. We watched a slideshow set to music of the year, and ate cake. I met several other parents today, and found out alot of things....
1. They made me out to be super mom because:
A. I have four kids in the car with me;
B. I still look so cute with "perfect" hair (um, moouse and pull wet hair back into a bent ponytail....SUPERCUTE!)???;
C. I look so happy all of the time;
D. I manage to drop off Macy and pick her up on time everyday with the other kids in the car;
2. I must be SUPER ORGANIZED to have so many small children;
3. okay, I'm NOT supermom because I forgot my camera (and that made the other forgetful momma happy);
4. I could have given all of my kids away today...many people threatened to take them. I DID tell them that they would be hunting me down within hours. But it did make me think about what I could accomplish alot without the four kids and a husband in Wyoming......ummmm.....alot of fun.
Anyway, my hubby is home and he's chatting, so I lost my train of thought. I was just amazed how others see me. I guess that I'm not as grumpy as I see myself. Have a great evening.
NOTE: I just placed the rest of the post under the comments section....

If YOU thought you were supermom, you wouldn't be, cause then you'd have an egotistical attitude and that would spoil everything...part of you being such a great mom is your humility:)
Glad graduation went so well! Hope some of those other moms will share pictures with you!
I should finish off by saying that the mom who was chatting with me was way tiny, had four children herself, and ALWAYS looked perfect. You know, that vision of the city mommas with wonderful hair and always dressed so nicely? Something that this country chick just can't manage to master. She also made these way cute Valentines and put a day pass in it for the water park....which, just happens to be where her daughter's birthday party will be in a few weeks. And I'm organzied? I can't even plan a party one week in advance. I didn't tell her that the fifteen minutes prior to her seeing me everyday included changing two diapers, finding shoes, reminding two children to potty before loading into the car. Buckling in two kids that scream and kick to avoid it. Turning the car around to pick up the backpack that we forgot and knowing that the approval slips are due today. Listening to Fiona whine something about missing someone or not seeing the water, Macy and Stuart squeeling while I look in the rear view mirror to see them swinging at eachother, and Myles just letting me know that he does not approve of this trip at all. I may even break down and turn on the DVD player and listen to Dora or Nemo full blast over the "loud" speakers just to try to drown out the other noise. I didn't tell her that we bribe the children to stay seated in the car while we are anxiously awaiting the drop off with candy and sometimes yelling to keep them donw. Nope, I took that moment of "supermomism" and kept silent. Sometimes things are better left unsaid.
You go girl!!!
I vote you as supermpm too! I don't know how you do it all!! I think I need some lessons!!!I did manage to go to the greenhouse today and buy 32 12" hanging baskets and 4 planters . . . all 1 handed of course with Kaitlyn in the other hand . . .after several trips a nice worker there helped me. I had to make many trips back to get them all vecause only 7 fit at once in the Navigator! My yard is looking like summer now so it was worth all the sweat!! YEA!!!
