I Want To Be Like Superwoman

Today, I failed miserably at meeting the standards of the "Proverbs 31 woman" (my version of Superwoman). I hope that one day, my children would still "arise up and call [me] blessed", and so would my husband (v. 28).

Being a mother is tough--it doesn't matter if you're a working mom, a stay-at-home mom, or even a single mom. I've been all three. It is a very special title to hold, and with such a title comes great responsibility.

And then...there are just some days that you lose your cool.

Thankfully, I have a wonderful husband who helped me get my cool back. He surprised me with an ice cream sundae upon arriving home from a long day at work--you know, one of those Mondays.

In contrast, I also have an ex-husband who has consistently been behind on his child support this year. Perhaps, it is time to call the Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA).

Here, I have one man who brings out the best in me, and there's another, who brings out the worst. The latter takes advantage of my kindness and does not take action until I am burning angry.
