When looking through my data to find out how people got to my blog, the one search phrase I found: “confessions of a stressed out mom”.  You know?  I am totally a stressed out mom sometimes.  Why?  Because (like most moms), I have a superhero complex.  I believe that I can do it all.  It is only when I load my plate with unrealistic tasks and expectations that I realize I need to slow it down.  It is then that I realize in all reality that I can’t do everything in one fell swoop as I imagine that I can.

And you know?  I have discovered that it is okay not to be a superhero.  It is okay to say no to certain tasks or realign things in order of importance for myself rather than other people.  I think if all of us women could learn to do that, we might then be a little happier.
