I Wonder Woman

As I sit here with my little Mr Tea in my cup, I can't help thinking that I have been kind to him in running him a nice hot bath on this cold evening.  Then I look to see the paw paw cream and Vicks sitting on the bench from when I earlier saved the day for my 6 year old who has the sniffles and a bit of a sore nose. 

As a stay at home mum I sometimes feel like I don't do anything amazing or awesome.  Oh yes I know that being a mum is important but it often doesn't feel like you are very spectacular.  However after seeing those remnants of my helping hand tonight I do feel a bit like Wonder Woman who did save the day for Asher.  I often find myself using words to the effect of "Its ok, mummy will fix it!" Or "Don't worry I will sort that out!" Or the age old, "Let mummy kiss that better!".  I do a lot in my day that often doesn't get seen or acknowledged by anyone else. I think a lot also and that too is not very evident as I am always forgetting things.  In spite of all the things I think I do wrong, or miss, or even don't do, at the end of the day when my boys are tucked up in bed and I have said prayers and kissed them good night, that to them I am Wonder Woman and can do and fix anything. At least for now.
