So my new motto is, "Superhero Mommy, Somebody's Gotta Do It!" I've been amazed over the past three and a half months at the things I have been capable of. I have worked full time, cleaned house, tried to cook, take care of a baby and sometimes take care of myself....all on way too little sleep! I've done things I've never thought I could handle, all because it had to be done. While overwhelming at times, I love every minute of being Owen's mommy and I wish that I could stay home with him everyday!!
This past weekend I got up and fed Owen and put him back to sleep, leaving Marcus to get him ready and fed again for church. As I'm getting ready to leave (I had to be there early), Marcus says "I think you did this on purpose. You left him for me to get ready on my own and try to get ready myself too." As I give him the stare down, I think I see a little bit of his foot sticking out of his mouth...but it was already too late! I just smiled kindly, as a good wife should, and reminded him that I have to do it all the time. When he is working third, I'm on my own to get ready for work and get out the door by 6:40 AM. Needless to say, he and Owen did not make it to church that morning. As I'm thinking about how frazzled Marcus gets sometimes and how he still hasn't fully grasped life with a new baby like I've had to do, I realized another life lesson had taken place...
Life Lesson #3: You are always capable of much more than you think you can handle.
