Super Mom, and then some!

So, let me get this straight . A person can stop paying child support for how ever long they want to, yet when child support enforces action against them to collect, the receiving parent is deemed "Money Hungry" and is made out to look like the big bad wolf? Because, how dare they hold you accountable for your financial obligation to your child/ren? Believe it or not, this is the sad reality of way too many parents. The most selfish thing is when the paying parent threatens to take the receiving parent back to court for custody because they are tired of the bullsh i t. (Bullsh i t meaning having to pay child support) . B ecause that's a legitimate reason to go back to court, right? In that situation, it amazes me that they would rather chance their child/ren's happiness by dragging them through a legal fight and spend thousands of dollars in court costs instead of simply paying their child support on time. Those parents obviously do not have the child/ren

What happens when your child comes home and tells you that they need a chipmunk costume for their school play dress rehearsal TOMORROW??! Well...it's nothing this Supermom can't handle. With a little hot glue, cardboard, headband, cotton balls, duct tape and an old Brownie Girl Scout dress! One chipmunk costume ready for tomorrow. Let's just hope that my kiddos don't make a habit out of waiting until the last minute for things like this. I'm tired now... ~Supermom

So, I keep hearing the mainstream media use the term, "Uneducated White Women", as one of the many terms they are using to describe those who voted in the Presidential Election. Apparently, I have been lumped into this category of individuals , simply because I do not yet have a college degree.   I'd like to clear things up a bit. Here are a few of the more important titles that I hold. You won't see the word, "uneducated", in this list. -A Mother -A Grandmother -A Wife -A Business Owner  -A Photographer -A Student -An Author -A Property Owner -A Girl Scout Troop Leader -A Volunteer  -A Good Human Being Feel free to describe me by using any of the titles I have listed above . P lease, stop us ing my lack of a college degree as a reason to assume that I am uneducated. I am very well educated in many areas of  life. Thank you, Supermom

Something that has been on my mind lately, the negativity of others.  It seems like everywhere you look, there's this conflict or that conflict. People just seem to want to be hateful,  for no real good reason. This past week, I have been on the receiving end of someones hatefulness. There was no reason for it, they assumed I'd wronged them without actually looking at the facts of the situation. Even after I told them that I did not do what they claimed I'd done. I was called a liar for standing up for myself.  And when the facts were brought to light, that I actually didn't wrong them, that the situation they were facing had nothing to do with me at all really, they still continue to carry around hateful feelings towards me.  What I have learned from this situation is that when someone hates or says they hate you, they don't actually hate you, they hate who they think you are. In the midst of this new accusation, I've also had things that they thought I d

  So, with Mother's Day a few days away, I cannot help but wonder what it would be like to have my Mom here, to be able to write her a nice card and to send her a bouquet of flowers and find the perfect gift that I know she would love . S he would open it, her eyes would tear up and she would thank me at least a dozen times. But I can't, and won't ever be able to do that again.....   You see, my Mom passed away 8 years ago, June.  It was sudden, we were not prepared, and even now, it's difficult to think about. I am still not ready to let go and it still hurts. It has changed me as a person to lose my Mom when I need her the most. My kids were just babies, and not having your Mom there to guide you through that is difficult. There are many times when I need advice or guidance and I w ill reach for the phone to call her, but there is no number to Heaven.   This Sunday, my kids and Husband will spend the day making me feel special, and I absolutely love every secon
