SuperMom defeats Diarrhea, Hungry Babies and conquers Tax Evasion

In the last episode of SuperMom, we left her to make peace with 3 screaming infants, 2 fighting boys and taxes left undone. In this week's episode we find her in the Exact Same Place.

To add to the adventure of SuperMom she had aggreed to take on one more child for the majority of the week. One more child to care for, feed and entertain. Can SuperMom do it? Will SuperMom be able to get everything else done? Will the taxes be filed on time? We will soon find out.

Today's episode starts at 7 am when the 6th child is brought to her house. The Eldest Son of SuperMom, has been given the choice to stay home for a special day of playing with his soon-to-be cousin DeMeaus. He has decided to stay, adding to the work load of SuperMom. The day starts out normally for SuperMom. The children play some video games while the three babies are getting fed and SuperMom takes a shower.

The shower finished, it is now the babies turn for their baths. One by one, SuperMom finishes them off. POW! BAM! BAM! Once the babies are down for their morning nap, SuperMom returns to the computer to finish the dreaded and forgotten-about Oregon Tax Form. By now the Older Children are happily playing outside. Or are they? The fighting has begun. SuperMom springs in to action and puts up the whining shield. THWACK! And again! THWACK! She had ducked, rolled and averted the whining...this time. That crisis averted, she continues with the dreaded Tax Form. As the Tax Form comes to an end she hears the sound of: "Mommy, I need help." Her ears perk. The sound is so faint. She knows it is Eldest Son, but where could he be? As she moves closer to the sound, she discovers that it is coming from none other than (insert scary movie music here) The DREADED BATHROOM. One thing SuperMom knows for sure- when a 6 year old calls for help from the DREADED BATHROOM it is never good. The sight that meets SuperMom's eyes as she opens the door is not for the faint of heart. Diarrhea has exploded from her beloved Eldest Son and is residing all over the floor, the wall, the side of the toilet, and the scale. Not to mention SuperMom's own running shoes. What is SuperMom to do? Meanwhile, out in the living room, the three infants are beginning to get hungry and are tired of being on the floor. They are calling for help in their crying sort of way. But SuperMom has no time for that right now, so the babies cry on. She jumps into action and heads for the garage to get a large stock of wipes to help out Eldest Son. She attacks the scale first and gets it sparkling clean with the Disinfecting Wipes. While working on the rest of the mess, the phone rings, adding noise to the screaming babies. "They need to leave a message!" declares SuperMom. "I have work to do!" She makes quick work of the remainder of the cleaning. Diarrhea is no match for SuperMom. After finishing off the bathroom and starting another load of laundry, SuperMom washes her hands with soap and leaps into the kitchen to make 3 bottles for the Hungry Screaming Infants. She bounds into the living room to feed the Hungry Screaming Infants. That crisis averted it is now time to make lunch for the rest of the family.

Hungry Screaming Infants fed, Oregon Taxes done, Diarrhea cleaned and Older Children fed. Just another day in the life of SuperMom.

I crack myself up.

    Oh my gosh, you are so funny! I was totally cracking up! (Not to mention enjoying the movie-like drama of it all that was playing in my head.) Yes, you ARE Super Mom! :-)

    The fact that you were smiling when I came home from lunch says so much about you. I truly am the luckiest guy in the world.
