Being Supermom

So not too long ago a wonderful friend commented that she wished she could be more like me as a mom! She said you have it so together! You never seem frustrated and just are the most amazing mom ever. I wish I was as together as you are...I had to laugh at her because I am sooo totally the opposite lol. Amid my laughter I thanked her but told her that i am definitely NOT supermom and depend on God daily for grace, sanctification and humility! There are days that I get upset with my toddler and holler when I shouldn't which leads me to apologizing and asking forgiveness from a 3 year old (thankfully he always forgives me and accepts my apology with hugs and kisses). There are days that I ask God for patience more than I would like to admit. I am only human and fall short of God's grace everyday but yet He loves me anyway. No matter how vile I feel that I am. I know I have looked at fellow friends and said the same thing! You are so together and your kids are perfect. I recently got to witness a friend that I felt this way abouts child have a temper tantrum (really I have never seen this child misbehave) and I had to smile to myself to be reminded that there really is no such thing as Supermom we are all in the same boat learning and growing together. So the next time a child has an outburst in public and the mom looks frustrated give her a smile instead of a dirty glare. You never know what she is dealing with.
