10 Reasons I Rock Superhero Status.

Staring at my reflection in the mirror this morning, I looked pretty average.

Even when I turned and gave my best back-of-book-jacket, author-type smile.

Wearing a gray t-shirt with Gators in script across the front, there wasn’t an orange and blue satin cape draped my shoulders.

Yet our task with Stasha and this Monday’s Listicles is to list: 10 THINGS YOU DID THAT MADE YOU FEEL LIKE A SUPERHERO.

So here I go:

 

10:  I ate steel cut oats for breakfast this morning.

Okay. I added brown sugar, honey, raisins, walnuts and strawberries but for about 15 minutes afterwards, I could leap an Easy Bake Oven in a single bound.

9.     I rode 30 miles on my bike yesterday.

This was because of an unexpected detour around a bridge that was out. And felt like crawling in a ditch for a nap around mile 25 — but I made it home.

 

Okay. 29.09 is not 30 but Superhero Swimmers always round up on the bike.

8.     I ran/walked a 5K with my child Saturday after only one cup of coffee.

A tactical error that will never happen again.

 

7.     I manage to get a 9 year old to read and complete his homework most every night.

This is in spite of the fact he would exist on nothing but steel cut oatmeal the rest of his life rather than add 2 + 2.

 

6.    Did I mention having oatmeal for breakfast?

 

5.      I stayed awake till 9:25 last night.

And managed to get up from the couch to clean and uber-moisturize my face before falling back asleep in bed.

 

4.      The kids have gotten out the door by 7:45 for five school days in a row.

After a string of tardies and leaving no earlier than 8:05 every morning prior — I resulted to bribery. Don’t judge a superhero.

 

3.      No cavities for me in about 20 years.

Well, maybe one. Not really sure.

 

2.      My bed is made.

And I did sleep in it last night. (See number 5.)

 

1.     It’s 10:30 a.m. and I already have dinner in the oven.

 

What about you? What makes you a superdiva?
