Super Mom or Super Fantasy?

My three kids think I am super mom.  I will let them live in that fantasy world as long as they wish.

I know I have super kids. Sometimes I don't think so but I do know when I peek on them during the night I forget all the upsetting or screaming moments.  Or when I come across a super picture:

Or such the time when after my doctors appointment, I took a detour with my son Thomas and went driving through Bison state park.  I was so convinced I was going to win "Cool Mom of the Year" award for that and letting him sit on my lap, mastering the steering wheel.  My ego was quickly deflated a few minutes later as I backed into two old ladies at a major intersection, ripping a hole into her car.  I hopped out, said "I'm so sorry, pull over and I will give you my insurance information." The old lady took a long drag of her Virginia Slims, picked up the piece of her car and said, "Don't worry, no problem." She then sped off. 

Super Mom? hell yeah!

Why So Serious, Son?

A dear friend of mine has a family member that is in the hospital, and it is in times like these that we seem to reflect back on ones life.  We wonder if we are truly happy.  We wonder if we are making the right choices, parenting the right ways, maybe even living the healthiest lifestyle we can. 

Life is short.

I have regrets. I've hopefully learned from my regrets. I want to teach my kids what I've learned (regrets and not) that I deem valuable and apply those traits to their lifestyle. I hope they will take it and pass it down to the next generation. 

I love to laugh. 

Laughter is the best medicine.  I think personality is most important. 

As the infamous joker said in the movie Batman, "Why So Serious, Son?"

What will you laugh at today? Why traits will you hopefully pass down to next generation? Who will you tell that you love them?
