SuperMom Returns

It is time for another episode of SUPERMOM!

In the last episode we left SuperMom defeating 3 hungry babies, diarrhea, and tax evasion. It today's episode...well, things haven't changed much for SuperMom..This is one of the things that makes SuperMom so strong and so heroic...doing the same things over and over until a lesser person would lose their mind. Not so with SuperMom..not only can she continue to do the same thing day after day, but the past week she has does it even in a state of weakness. For alas, SuperMom's kryptonite...The Dreaded Sickness.

Today's episode starts on a national holiday. The FOURTH OF JULY! (insert loud echoy voice here.) The day starts out normally enough. It appears to be a weekend day in the middle of the week since Dear Husband gets the day off from work. But does this throw SuperMom off? No Way! SuperMom can handle it! It has been decided that today will be a special day for SuperMom to spend with Dear Husband, Eldest Son and Youngest Son. Early in the morning before the festivities begin, SuperMom flies off to get some shopping done. She knocks that right out. POW! Upon arriving back home, it is now time to fly into high gear to get ready for the rest of the day. A picnic lunch needs to be made. POW! Boys need to find shoes. (Always a challenge for SuperMom) BANG! BANG! Finally everyone is ready and the sitters for the girls have arrived. Instructions are given and it is time to fly out the door. As SuperMom, Dear Husband, Eldest Son and Youngest Son are on their way, suddenly a decision needs to be made. Can we conquer Multnomah Falls? Thinking about her lingering weakness from The Dreaded Sickness, SuperMom has only one answer. WHY NOT? OF COURSE I CAN! SuperMom attacks that mountian. It is hard in her weakend state, but the mountian is like dust under her feet.

After returning home, Youngest Son goes down for a much needed nap. BAM! SuperMom takes a shower. POW! Then, after remembering a prior commitment, SuperMom realizes that she must make a cake. For Tonight! Oh no! Will SuperMom make it? Will there be enough time to make the cake and do everything else to get ready for the BBQ? NO PROBLEM! SuperMom whipps around the kitchen to make the cake. Finally, it is done and in the oven and now it is time to make bottles for the Three Hungry Babies. BAM! BAM! BAM!

Bottles in hand, SuperMom enters the Babies' room. It is hot. A terrible smell assults SuperMom's nose. What has happened? SuperMom quickly turns on the light and is horrified at what she sees. Baby Kynden has unfastened a diaper and there is poop everywhere. OH THE HORROR! There is poop on her bed. There is poop on her bedding. There is poop on her hands. There is poop on her face. OH THE HUMANITY! SuperMom frantically calls to Dear Husband in the other room. It is a good thing to have a sidekick on days like today. He comes quickly and assess the situation. He begins to run a bath for Baby Kynden. Meanwhile, Baby Ellyanna and Baby Adelynn are hungry for their bottles. So is Baby Kynden, but she will have to wait. SuperMom gives the Babies their bottles and begins to work on Baby Kynden. She carefully strips off her clothes as she screams. SuperMom plops her into the bathtub and begins to scrub. Will all this poop ever come off? Meanwhile, Dear Husband is working on the bedding. Finally, the dried poop has been conqured. SuperMom dries Baby Kynden off and puts on clean clothing. Baby Kynden now shares a bed with her sister as she works on her bottle.

SuperMom suddenly realizes that the timer is going off for the cake. Oh no! Will the cake be burnt and ruined? (Well, maybe a little...SuperMom can't do everything) Do not fear. The cake is still edible.

It is now time to leave for the BBQ at SuperMom's mother's house. As quick as possible the children are loaded up and ready to go. Later on SuperMom encounters another disturbing problem. At Mother's house, there are no high chairs. And the Babies are hungry again! What is SuperMom to do? A towel on the floor in the kitchen is tried first. SuperMom should have known. The Babies don't hold still. They attack SuperMom and spew carrots on her legs. What else can she do? Ah Ha! The bathtub! Perfect! The Babies are packed up and set into the bathtub. Do your dirtiest, Babies, for you are no match for SuperMom and the bathtub! The Babies are fed, cleaned and now they can have their bottles.

After the Babies go to bed and it finally gets dark the Fireworks begin. Eldest Son has a good time helping Dear Husband light the Fireworks. He may have a bit of his mother's pyromaniac tendancies. But shhhh...that is a secret about SuperMom.

The day is finally coming to a close. Just another day in the life of SuperMom.
