A List Of My Motherly Super Powers

The following is yet another compilation of study and ability. Yes, there will be more to come but for now without further Ado I present to you....

MY MOTHERLY SUPER POWERS:
1. Fun Sucking – the ability to “suck” the fun out of any situation I deem “inappropriate”.
2. Multi-tasking – the ability to know where everyone of my children are what they are saying, doing, and acting like, make a meal, talk on the phone, fold laundry, help with math problems, do the dishes, right a wrong, kiss an owie, check facebook, and write my Blog all within minutes of each other!
3. Physician – the ability to diagnose what is a true owie and what is just a cry for attention.
4. What-cha-ma-call-it – the ability to change the ordinary into the extraordinary.
5. Teacher- at first glance people may not think it a “true” super power, but all of us moms who have it beg to differ.
6. Sports Genius – I know you may be rolling on the floor Heidi when reading this but just take a look at the stance Brittany has in her softball pictures, one look and you will agree! HA!
7. Chef – the ability to change left over’s into an amazing cuisine.
8. Librarian – the ability to know where all our books are in the house and car and if anyone has seen our collection you know this is a super power. Ok maybe it is just a little OCD, but I needed an 8.
9. Fun Sucking – I know this is number 1 also but it is such a great super power I thought it deserved to be listed twice.
10. Toilet-roll-queen – this is an ability that takes everyday trash and in an effort to stay sane I make it into a craft.
11. Game Genius – or as my children like to call it – creator of dumb games. Either way I think you understand this is also done in an effort to keep my sanity.
12. Fixer-of-all-things- this is Justin’s favorite super power, it is the ability to take anything and fix it with thread, batteries, glue, tape or the ever powerful duct tape.
13. Is simply the ability to take hundreds of plastic strings and fluff them into round pom-poms. An ability that Brittany greatly appreciates.
14. Pharmaceuticals- the ability to have on hand literally hundreds of “feel good” medicines and being able to distribute them to the right child at the right time. This in an ability that comes in useful when you have more than one child sick and they are taking different medications at different times.
15. Comforter- this is my favorite, it is the ability to make everything better with just a kiss, hug, cuddles, or a soft word.
16. X-ray Vision- is the ability to see where an item is when your child has "looked really hard" for said item.
17. Mind Reading - the ability to know what your child wants when they simply say "mom where is that thing?" this comes in really handy when super power #2 is in use.
18. Cleaner- the ability to identify a stain and know just how to get it out and have it back in the drawer the next day.
19. Penny Pincher- the ability to take five dollars and stretch it into $20.
20. Is simply the ability to have dinner ready in 2.3 minutes when plans are changed at the last possible minute.
21. The ability to be cook, be dance coach, mommy, and show off some MAD skills while practicing a dance routine. =)...can be confused with #2
22. "four eyes" unlike it is used to put people with glasses down this is truly a super power that only a mom can have...eyes on the back of your head.
23. Psychologist: the ability to know what is "really" wrong.
24. The "big bag" super power is plainly the ability to have in your "ginormous" purse a snack bar, pharmacy, art supplies, hand sanitizer, lotion, band-ads, toys, a change of clothes, wet wipes, hair ties, comb, diapers, books, and anything else that might be needed by your children, husband, family or even a complete stranger all while looking "cute" and "trendy".
25. "Mom hair" this is simply a time saving ability, I think it speaks for itself.
26. Fun-maker....HA had you going there didn't I?!? This is the ability to bring loads of fun into your child life by simply making up a song, doing a dance, making funny faces, etc...
27. Fun Sucker....it just really has to be in here more. =)
28. Life lesson Coach...this super power is where the phrase "this is a teachable moment" came from.
29. The “everybody is a winner” super power is the simple fact that even though life is NOT fair you want it to be for your children. Rebekah likes this super power...any super power that allow her to yell "I win" in her sing song voice are high on her list. =)
30. OCD. This also speaks for itself.
31. Language Instructor- This is in use when my children use words such as "ain't, rad, pickles" in the wrong context.
32. Religious Instructor- This super power comes in handy when your children think that "cows are holy" and so on.

I could go on and on, but I will stop here so as not to overwhelm you who do not possess such powers.
