Zen Motherhood

I have decided to let go.
let go of my expectations
my worries
my schedule
my pre conceived notions
i am going to become one with my little heroes.
i am going to achieve zen motherhood...

(now i just have to figure out how to enlighten the little heroes into a state of zen childhood)

bye,bye barbie

the reign of barbie has sadly come to an end.
as most of you know,preacher man is unable to resist the sirens call of barbie.
the obsession has also spilled over to any and all disney princesses.
these small plastic figurines have taken over his life.
they have become his kryptonite.
supermom and her trusty sidekick,P Daddy, made a very hard and heartbreaking decision today
-we must phase out these toys that torment our sweet little preacher man.
P Daddy and preach cut down his collection to just 1 barbie and 1 disney princess tonight..
all barbie and princess movies have been put up
all dresses and heels are now in temporary hiatus
my heart is breaking for my littlest superhero
i know this is something we need to do for him but it is so very hard
so send us your best MOJO
supermom and the preach are gonna need all the help we can get!!

waxing nostalgic

i took the bait.
supergrrl: mom, let's watch your wedding video. just a little bit before i have to go to bed...
supermom:well, i don't know-you really need to go to bed early tonight to fight off this cold..
supergrrl: please mom, you look like a princess and daddy looks soooo handsome..
supermom: O.K baby let's watch it

fast forward 10 minutes

supergrrl: OH MOM you look sooo beautiful, i mean gorgeous- you don't even look like yourself
supermom: WHAT-what do you mean by that??? i look pretty-therefore i don't look like myself:(
supergrrl: yeah thats right- you look like a mommy now-a mommy with a big ole mommy bottom

well lets just examine this outrageous claim...















yep-a big ole mommy butt...

what superheroes do on a sat night..

i just uploaded pics from my camera

here are a couple of cute ones

supergrrl with luna and neville-wonderfrogs

preach and his first cake...pink-no suprises there!

pink eye

all was right with the world when our heroes went to bed last night.
supergrrrl asleep in her sleeping bag, under her loft bed. her trusty sidekick,punky,a 9 year old bulldog,snoring peacefully beside her.
preacher man, buried under his pile of blankets. just the tip top of his blond head sticking out.
but sometime between midnight and 7:00- it struck.
that which cripples even the strongest superhero...
conjunctivitis
2 pairs of little, red,crusty eyes greeted me this morning
so we are off to the store..
to buy black tea bags and baby shampoo
(a wonderful cure for this nasty virus)
i only hope the sight of my crusty eyed children doesn't send fellow patrons running away in fear

and so it begins...

for too long i have resisted the temptation to enter the blogging world.
being the parent of two up and coming superheroes is enough to wear even the most super of supermoms down.
so with sleepy eyes, a cup of coffee and stories of the dynamic duo, supergrrrl and preacher man, i surrender what little time i have to the joys of blogging...
