I cut off the head in this photo so she could not be identified as my 4 year old. I wanted it to look like those photos in the magazines for the fashion don'ts. What type of mom have I become. I actually let her go to school like that today...and I did not even care. Either I am becoming more evolved because it does not bother me or more slacker mom. I decided to do a motherhood evaluation.Supermom: 1. leaps tall buildings at a single bound
2. Is faster than a speeding bullet
3. Is Stronger than a Loco motive
4. Walks on water
5. Talks with God
Exceeds job requirement: 1. must take a running start to leap over my kids bikes
2. Arrives at all meetings early
3. Is Strong enough to change a tire
4. Recycles household water
5. Talks with angels
Regular mom: 1. can leap only over small toys
2. Arrives on time still dressing the children
3. Is strong enough to remove most jar lids
4. Washes dishes with water
5. Talks to herself
Tries hard mom: 1. Crashes into things as she tries to move through her day
2. Arrives after opening prayer still dressing herself
3. Pushes start on the microwave to start dinner
4. Drinks a lot of water
5. Talks with strangers who will listen
The Rest of Us: 1. Can not find her way home some days.
2. Arrives before closing prayer...forgetting something (husband looking at his watch from the stand as you walk in.) I won't tell you what my thoughts are at that point.
3. Can carry a full bucket of KFC from the car to the table
4. Loses water in emergencies.
5. Talks on the phone...or blogs
I used to be a supermom with one child now I am afraid my job performance has dwindled down a few notches. Am I going to get FIRED? I don't think so. One day Carly asked me when I got fired from my job? "What do you mean Fired?"...Carly..."You don't have a job." Now you may think I don't have a job but one day you will understand. The best thing about my job... I CAN NEVER BE FIRED no matter how low my evaluation.

hey joy - mel just told me she found you - so now I found you! Looks like you got a boy after all. I can't believe how big Taylor is!
You are a kick, and you make me smile everytime I see your face and read your blogs!
I couldn't stop smiling while reading your post. Thanks for brightening my day.
Amen to that!!!
The next step may be when your kids leave because it resembles being fired. But you can get to church on time. Great blog you are so creative.
Joy I still think you are super mom. Maybe it's because I knew you when you had Taylor and just barely Carly (haha) no really I think you are great. The outfit is CLASSIC! This is my only daughter to a T! I had all these visions of dressing a girl so cute and doing her hair all sorts of cute ways but it is a fight everyday with what she wants to wear and how her hair should be. Sometimes sending her to school I feel the same way WHO CARES! It must be a 3rd child thing :)
I seem to be sitting back and saying it is fair play when your children are finaly getting a little payback. Just think one day your kids will be in your shoes and you can sit back and just chuckle. Life is worth all of the "stuff" during those "formative years.
I love this post! Hilarious. Some days I want to "fire" myself.
