Yes Miles, Your Mom is a Superhero
The boys and I went to go see Avatar this weekend and there was a preview of a new movie coming out that has real people pretending to be superheroes. “Mom, that would be so cool” Miles exclaimed! Little does he realize his Mom is already a superhero. Yes by day, I am just another Clark Kent. I am dressed in a suit, I work in an office, and instead of reporting the news; well, I watch the market. Believe me, these days the happenings on Wall Street are pretty crazy. To the untrained eye, I look like a typical working Mom, ha, are they so wrong. No, I can not stop trains, leap buildings, or use my laser vision, I wish. My super hero garb does not have a cape, maybe next year, but Pactimo, Lazer, Bell, and Sundog made sure it was just as cool as Superman’s. I do not have a Batmobile, nope. My superhero mobile is made by Specialized, but mine can climb mountains and is as light as a feather. You see Miles, while you dream of Legos, skiing, and bikes, I am working hard chasing my dream of being the best athlete I can be. Before the Colorado sun rises above the mountains, I am in the pool, pretending I am a fish. While you are in school studying hard, I am sure; I am working hard to help others live their own dreams. Some days are tough and I feel defeated by the evil forces in the World, but some days are wonderful and I feel like I saved the day. No matter how hard the day’s battles are, I will always be home in time to help with homework and to hear about your adventures. While you play with your friends, I will sneak away and race the clouds on my bike. Up, up, and away, racing to see who can reach the sky first. Or maybe I will run with the wind, gasping for air, until my legs burn. At the end of it all, I will fall into my pillow tired from it all, but not before I kiss you goodnight. Even superheroes say I love you and this supermom is no exception.
