Kinda felt like Super Mom

The past two days I have kind of felt like Super Mom... I mean, I've already gotten everything crossed off the to do lists for Tuesday and Wednesday - well, almost... (we didn't make it to the church tailgate party tonight) It isn't even that I accomplished everything - it is more that I fit everything in AND still made time to exercise for an hour each day.  Parker had a birthday party to attend at 4pm on a Tuesday... this is NOT a good time for a working mom to take her kid to a birthday party... but I was determined that I was not going to be the reason that he didn't get to go.  So, I went in at 6:30am and left at 3pm in order to pick him up and take him to the birthday party.  I made it to the party in time and even remembered the gifts - what I forgot was to put cards in the gifts to tell who they were from.  Good thing I remembered that this morning and texted the twin's mom.  After leaving there, we picked up things from Aldi that I had to have to make the goodies tonight. Of course, I didn't have a quarter to get a buggy or a grocery bag in my car, so Parker was my sweet helper and carried a couple of things - then it was home to eat dinner and then it happened.  I asked Mark to give him a bath and then I hopped on the elliptical for an hour!  500 calories Gone!  then it was rocking the baby (that is what he calls himself when he is sleepy) to sleep and I sat down with Mark and we finished writing out some answers to questions for a position he is applying for!  Oh, and did I mention that I cleaned the kitchen too??? Then tonight I got off at 4, home to workout for 45 minutes, drug the garbage can to the house with Parker, looked for Henry the turtle with Parker, made a batch of blondies for a sweet friend having surgery tomorrow, seven layer dip for a baby shower I'm helping host at work tomorrow, fed Parker dinner and then a bath time, then rock the baby and now I'm here...  Mark is working Storm Duty tonight - thanks to tropical storm Lee, so he will not be home until late tonight.  I've kind of felt like Super Mom for the past two days - simply because I never seem to get all this in... Simply because I constantly feel guilty for not getting it all in each day.  AND I know that that these two days are rare, so I'm basking in the sunshine that I took care of my boys and me two straight days in a row.  Yep, I'm super working mommy for Tuesday and Wednesday!  Maybe I will make a cape to wear to work tomorrow.
