Super Moms!

In world reeked of villains that crawl among society in our everyday world, one hero rises above them all. Though constantly badgered, this hero is loved by all, she is—SUPER MOM!!!

Now while this category is very broad, because there are billions of amazing super moms that save the day one diaper at a time, I’d like to take this time to focus on a specific mom. My mom.

Now my mom is probably one of the top Super Moms there is. Like all moms and daughters, we get in fights, but I could never have wished for a better mom. My mom has always been there for me through thick and thin. Regardless of her hectic schedule, she’s always attended every one of my plays, recitals, banquets, fundraisers and other events over the years.

Now for the past few years my mom has been attending college, first at TVCC and then at A&M Commerce in Corsicana. Not only did she go back to school, but she also has been working a full time job at the Elementary School as a Preschool Aid. Even after dealing with over forty runny nose, screaming, hyper children she volunteers her time weekly (multiple times each week) as Children’s Church Director at our church. But her heroics don’t end here. While she has balanced a full time job, part time job, and college she has also managed to be our mom (another full time job).

I am so proud of her, not because she’s mastered the art of multitasking but because she took on so much and gave each item her all. She graduated from college with a degree in education with honors (3.5 GPA). She works hard to get to class early in order to greet her students so that they have the best possible day. She plans fun activities and exciting curriculums for the children’s church kids rather than just letting them play dodge ball or video games. She also makes an effort to always be there for us at every event, to wipe away every tear, hear every laugh, rub every sick tummy, and kiss every boo-boo. While I know she hates the fact that she couldn’t be there for our every hour, she was there for the important stuff.

I love my mom. Not just because she’s the woman who carried me around in her tummy like a watermelon for nine months and then brought me into this world, but also because she is so amazing at what she does. I still don’t know how she manages it all, but she does. The only explanation? Mom is a super hero (but it’s no secret). Even though moms are just there for helpful advice in the superhero world, in the real world they rise above most other heroes as one of the greats.

The other day I met a woman who was crying because she was going through a difficult divorce, she had dropped out of college when she was young and had no degree, and her kids were not proud of her. In fact, she told me that they were ashamed of her.

It sickens me to think that anyone could feel this way about their mother. Now I know not all mothers are Super Moms, but they are still you’re mother and they love you. I can’t imagine being any less proud of my mother, she’s incredible and that’s how everyone should feel about their mothers.

Now not only is my mother Super Mom, but she also makes me laugh more than anything else on this planet. My best friend and I have a book of quotes from my mother (I’ve listed a few of my favorites below).

Momisms:

Parafanaliya: Parifanara- Things I don’t want there

Graduees: Graduates

Oldest Runing Show:

Dad: Dr Who's been airing since I was a kid.
Mom: That show is THAT OLD?!?!

Driving Lesson 101:

*Me and my best friend are talking while I drive*

Mom: Becky! You need to focus! F-O-U-C-K! FOCUS!

Me and BFF: What?! *LMAO*

Mom: Focus, isn’t that how you spell it? Oh wait I missed a letter!

Me: More than that…

I love my mom very much, and I am so proud of her! She makes me laugh and smile, and she’s always there when I need her. Thanks for everything mom! You’re the best.

While it is for comedic purposes, the mom song is a great explanation of all mom’s have to do (And some dad’s).

So if you didn’t do it yesterday, (even if you did) go give your mom an extra special hug and thank her for all that she’s done.

Hey guys, sorry I haven’t posted in like a month. It’s been crazy, but I hope you all gave your moms a hug and told her you loved her yesterday (and everyday, moms rock)! And don’t forget to give your dad a fist bump. Happy Mother’s Day!
