Wow, are you me? I think I am going to burn my cape after reading this. Kids don’t care if you are perfect, just that you are not crazed. I don’t realize this myself day to day. The barking at your family for being normal comment really hit home. Wow.

@db4ca94be8f096ed618488ac13173e02:disqus – in full disclosure, my second cake did NOT look like the one pictured. I slapped on some icing with a knife and skipped the pretty bagged icing flourishes. At least it tasted good!!

I am glad I intuitively always picked the best options that saved me time and hassles without living my kids and myself out of parties. Secretly I thought I wasn’t being a good “super” mom. Thank you! You all made me feel better about being a mom. I’m still impressed that Sarah was able to bake 2 options of cakes in one morning though.

@fb5bf0e9cb6c5cab6b8ce001a97b2829:disqus – I L-O-V-E that rule. Ingenious. This is me adopting that one into my repertoire. And I am right there with you – no one was telling me to make anything. It was ALL me.

This was so funny. I was laughing out loud. Reminds me so much of the cookie swap debacle this past winter at our house. If you are baking before 8am on the weekend or after 9pm on a weeknight–you need to take a BIG step back or at least that is my new rule. The funny part is that this super mom thing is my own issue–no one out there is saying to me, no you cant buy those cookies. I need to tell my inner critic to get a life.

Can I relate? Reading this post has saved me the call to a therapist I was planning to make! This is my life day in day out – a recovering Type A, who stays up past midnight, to organize nicely arranged lunchboxes for the kids, etc. then oversleeps because she forgets to turn off the silent button on her iphone/alarm (silenced the previous evening during a community association meeting I felt compelled to attend) and when Mama misses her 6:00am workout she’s oh so guilty of ‘barking at her family’s normal behaviour’. Great post – will work on giving up the cape.
