Last night, I went into my son's room to tuck him in. I noticed he wasn't in his bed. I looked down at the ground and noticed a pair of feet sticking out from under the bed.
"Bubba, you can get out of there," I said.
He slid out. "Mama, how did you know where I was?"
"I have super powers!"
"No you don't Mama, because you don't know what I'm thinking."
"What are you thinking?"
"It begins with the letter 'p' and it's something I really like."
"Pokémon?"
"Yeah! How did you guess?"
"I told you. I'm the Mama. And mamas have super powers!"
(Speaking of super powers, I'm going to seriously need some. It's been quite a challenge having my house ready for showings and keeping up with all my regular work. If I skip a few days here and there, I apologize. It's just because I'm ridiculously busy!)
Great post Sherry, you must be so very busy right now. You come here if and when you can.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Okay. If I ever find myself across the pond in your neighborhood, I'll let you know! :)
DeleteBeen there, done that. So many times. It can get wild when a realtor calls and says, I'm bringing people over in 10 minutes. I feel for you. I really do. It's so hard.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
We had two showings today. It's insane trying to deal with that when I have a hairy, dirty dog living at my pad!
DeleteMethinks you should get yourself a superhero cape! I hear the hubs is voting for Wonder Woman outfit :P
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my hubs would love to see me flying around in a Wonder Woman outfit wielding a bottle of Lysol bathroom cleaner!
DeleteYes, I also vote for you donning the cape! The Wonder Woman wristlets are are also a nice accessory. I hope the next few weeks go quickly!
ReplyDeleteWonder Woman wristlets would be a nice touch! I too, hope this house sells fast, because I don't know how long I can deal with keeping this house sparking clean and in showroom condition on a daily basis!
DeleteCute post. You definitely need a superhero outfit. Something in your favorite colors. Maybe a logo with the letters S.M. for Super Mom!
ReplyDeleteDo you know how to sew? ;)
DeleteIt's gotta be a lot on your plate. So many people on Blogger, I find are in the midst of moving right now. Here's to it going smooth.
ReplyDeleteSummer seems to be the time to pick up and relocate before the start of the new school year. Thanks for the well-wishes!
Deletewow how did you ever guess that, amazing haha
ReplyDeleteSo you're a psychic type right?
DeleteOf course I'm psychic. All moms are! ;)
DeleteMay super powers be on their way to you! We just moved, so I have great sympathy for you--it all works out. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteHope your move went smoothly. Unpacking isn't always fun, either!
DeleteYour super powers to the rescue during the showings. I was just watching a TV program a few days ago about owners preparing their house for the buyer visits, I thought about you. Selling the house and moving can be really stressful.
ReplyDeleteYou're telling me! My kids are wondering why I'm extra grouchy - especially when I just cleaned something and one of them messed it up!
DeleteSuch impressive powers
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're impressed! ;)
DeleteOf course you have super powers! Bubba should wise up to this fact already. :P
ReplyDeleteTotally understandable about you being busy right now. Good luck not getting overwhelmed!
My dad just came and got Bubba. Now at least I don't have to listen to my kids bicker! After this is over, I'm going to park myself in a hammock by the ocean and do absolutely nothing!
DeleteFlex those powers
ReplyDeleteFlexing! :)
DeleteYour stories are going to be a treasure for you and your children as you both grow old. Priceless!
ReplyDeleteI hope they'll enjoy reading them!
DeleteI know EXACTLY what you mean. We live near Disney World, and every time people come to visit, life gets crazy. Last year we had at least one visit a month--this while trying to write, work and home school. It's a miracle I'm still kicking. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou need the super power of "blink and it's clean," eh?
That would be a most awesome power to have!
DeleteBest of luck with everything, Sherry.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dana!
DeleteAll the best Sherry! With your superpowers and your house showing!
ReplyDeleteNas
Thanks! We got good feedback from our first showings, and they'll be coming back for a second viewing.
DeleteI think moms have super powers, especially when their house is on the market. Such a stressful time. I hope your house sells quickly so that part of the process is done.
ReplyDeleteIt is so cool to have mama super powers...while they last. ;)
ReplyDeleteTake all the time you need. Big move!
