The Illusion of Super Mom

I ran into a former co-worker yesterday at the store. I had Little Brother with me and she hadn't seen him so we stopped to chat for a minute. She told me that is was weird that we had run into each other because she had just been talking about me the other day {this could be good or bad!}. She said that she and some of her co-workers were talking about how hard it was for them when they had children. {their children are now in their teens}. She brought me up as an example of a mom who, in her words, "really has it together". I was shocked! She went on to comment about all the cute pictures I take of my boys and everything she sees on Facebook. I was really touched by this because I feel, on a daily basis like I am one tantrum away from losing my mind! It's nice to know that even though I don't always feel like I am "with it" that at least I am giving off the illusion that I have the slightest idea of what I am doing!
