JUST CALL ME

But not the kind you think, my life isn't in perfect order, with perfect kids and home. It's quite the opposite. In preparation for Grayson's upcoming superhero birthday party, I was doing some research on all the superheros and discovered, Oh my Gosh, I have some super powers of my own. Here are a few.
* Supersonic Hearing- It's amazing how I can hear the smallest sounds at a great distance, like my baby crying or a phone ringing. Sometimes I find it even more amazing that I can tune some of the loudest noises out, like my older kids crying or screaming.
*Ability to sense trouble or predict when a situation is about to go very bad. Even if it's in another room.
*I'm fluent in languages others have never heard before. The down part to this power is I get stuck translating a lot. Now that I've had my third baby I am amazed at how well I am able to understand Kate's different cries.
*It's been years since I ran track but I can still out run my runaway toddlers (It can be fast for a tired momma).
*Amazing reflexes- I can be doing three things at once and still catch a falling pacifier, cup of juice, or even baby.
*I am the keeper of Time Out. I am still amazed that I have the power to tell my kids they are in Time Out and they will stay where ever I put them.
*And my favorite, I have a magical kiss that somehow makes everything all-better.

Oooh, I like! I think I might have most of the same, except for keeper of time-out. Zander just cries that he is scared and will not stay regardless of what I have threatened him with. Go Super Mom's!!!
