I am Super Mom

I went to the grocery store with all three boys - by myself. You heard me right. I went completely and utterly by MYSELF. There was no Nathan, no grandparent, and no girlfriend there to save me should someone have a meltdown. I braved the outside world by MYSELF with three energetic boys.

We walked up and down the isles with no screams, no temper tantrums, and no meltdowns and I lived to tell the tale. Sure, I had to bribe my kids with chocolate soy milk and bubble gum - but those are minor details to the fact that we survived.

I SURVIVED!

I [temporarily] believe that I can handle this this "I have three kids thing" in a somewhat normal fashion... which might include brushing my teeth everyday, because even that small hygiene activity has been a challenge.

In honor of my latest accomplishment, I have decided to change my name. I am no longer Angie. I prefer the title Super Mom... if you don't mind :)

Little Love Payments

Coming home from the hospital -

newborn in arms

and two boys at home...

At first it was very overwhelming.

Okay, it still kind of is.

At times, motherhood stretches me to the extreme.

In those moments of desperation,

when I feel that I have given it my all...

I am amazed at how I somehow always

receive much more than I give.

William Shakespeare said:

“The more I give,

the more I have for both are infinite.”

I am grateful for every little hug, the messy kisses,

and the love that fills my home.
