OK - It's this kind fo media reporting and real life crap that just pushes me over the edge ... Supermom of 1 year old sextuplets runs marathon ... Do the rest of us really need that kind of pressure?
I already feel inadequate and guilty about whatever I am doing, or not. I am obviously a slacker and complainer. No sorry, I haven't run a marathon. Actually I've been paying monthly gym dues for the last 11 years but haven't set foot in one for the last 9 (the gyms have changed names twice but we have a great deal!) Six kids? Nope - have two too many on many days (I only have 2). Support system? Oh yes, Grey (Goose) and Mike (Hard Lemonade) are always near to help me through.
Latest achievements ... can't really think of any off the top of my head which is about to explode with a gajillion to do's - none of which include any good ideas about how to get myself out of this hamster wheel of work at work, work at home routine.
So good for you, Supermom! You deserve your slice of happiness pie. Just try to keep it to yourself next time.

R - you are hilarious! I read the same article and just about fell out of my chair. Some comments from Jenny the Supermom were: "it isn't so hard because the babies are really good sleepers. They are mellow and really good." WOW. Running definitely sounded like her escape - whoo hooo! Just watch SuperNanny every so often. I come away with some tips & tricks, but also the realization that there are some parents out there who need even more help than little ol' me :) Kiwi
The mom race is a challenging one at best. This "Supermom" will probably have all her babies running marathons as soon as they can walk; bless her. Now back to reality - hand me a Mikes or Cosmo anytime to help muddy those reality waters. And than I'll get to running - tomorrow!
