Blogs may be hazardous to your (mental) health

I have come to the conclusion that I am not a super mom. How do I know this? I was looking online for something yesterday and came across an amazing blog, secretsofasupermommy.blogspot.com
This is an actual blog of a real life mom, not Martha Stewart with her staff of 50 and no children under feet, who does all these crafty, cute, and creative activities for her family. I'll freely admit that the insecure side of me started feeling instantly unworthy of even calling myself a mother after reading some of her posts. My kids are so deprived. She had about ten different things she did for Earth Day! Kylie was reading those posts and said, "what did we do for Earth Day?". Probably went to a baseball game like every other night! Hopefully I even manged to make a good dinner, but I know there wasn't a meatloaf shaped like the earth.
But then I realized that this is exactly why we shouldn't compare ourselves to others. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. I am not a creative person. Super Mommy obviously loves that kind of thing. I was getting a headache just reading about it. My brain does not look at our recycling bin and think, "I bet I could make an awesome looking Earth Day banner out of this stuff" (She did) Every cute or creative thing I have ever done in my life was actually someone else's idea. That is my talent- borrowing ideas from others. Also I really need sleep. I am thinking she must stay up and busily get everything done after her kids go to bed. My brain and body actually start shutting down about 9:30, I've decided.
So now I have found a good source of ideas. I just have to remind myself that my kids are growing up quite well adjusted, even though they may not have a mother who makes every day a celebration of some sort. I can be happy in the un-super mom that I am!
