You know you're a super mommy when

You know you're a super mommy;
When you teach them to look within and seek real love.
When you pick your kids up from school early 'just because'. 
When you get excited over a new home appliance just knowing what it does. 
When you think love & cooking are in some way connected. 
When you give your husband the cold shoulder for forgetting to read them a book, saying that TIME was neglected. 
When you can say "I'm sorry" if your temper ever flared. 
When you go without eating so they can have seconds because that's how much you care. 
When you can say no, even if they fuss, teaching them longevity, how not to run from problems or be hurt when people cuss. 
When parenting IS your outlet. 
When they are sound asleep, you still give them a kiss & pray that all their dreams be sweet. 
When you actually listen to them, instead of turning on tv. You even pray for other mommys who are lost or have it hard on a thousand other streets. 
When you spend more time looking at food labels than caring for your own wants & personal needs. 
When your biggest secret is that once you cried yourself to sleep, hoping your love & hardwork is good enough, as you rested your achey feet; and when drifting off on those hopes & dreams, you ask God for all the tools you'll need, thanking him... because he knows they are most beautiful things you've ever seen. ~Amber De Luna
