Maybe some of you that have special needs children can relate. So I was taking Elijah to school today, Elijah has his cast on still so I had him propped up with pillows in his wagon and I had Madeleine strapped to my chest. As we are walking up to the school one of the teacher says, "Here comes wonder woman!" I started thinking how many times I have heard this. I have been called "super-human," "super mom," or that I have "super powers." How wrong everyone is. I am just like other moms. I get overwhelmed, stressed, and angry just like everyone else. I do just what other moms do. I provide for my children. My children's needs may be a little different then most but it is kind of the same. Some have more needs then others. If my child needs something, I do my best to provide it. I think we really have it backwards. I think my son, Elijah, is the real super hero. He has the real challenges and the obstacles. He is so determined and strives to achieve his goals everyday. Maybe I give him some of the tools to get there but isn't that what parents do? But the truth is I am guilty of the doing this too. The chances are I am probably looking at you thinking the very same thing. That mother is a rock star!
