10 Reasons Why Mums have Superhero Powers

I'm a supermom
Being a Mom does make one develop powers that are extraordinary. Many times we find that we are able to do stuff which we never though was possible. It is really amazing how our ability to learn things or do stuff within minutes magnifies once the kids are born.

Here is a list of items which I never though would be possible prior to being a mother.

  1. 3 course meal

    I’m able to cook a 3 course mealĀ  with desserts/cakes all within one hour by maxing out all the kitchen appliance in the kitchen and have the laundry run by itself.

  2. I know how to segregate my thinking and run more then one train of thought through it simultaneously. It comes with having the kids differentiated activities at the same time – English, Maths and piano practice. I’ve learned how to zoom in an micro focus so all three get equal attention.
  3. I know what the kids are doing even though they deliberately close the door to their room. Mum’s have x-ray vision and a heightened six sense.
  4. I am able to single out my kids cries in a crowd and can differentiate between which one is needing my immediate attention.
  5. I am able to make things magically appear even though they have spent the last 2 hours combing the whole house looking for the missing toy. Mom’s have a knack for knowing where every little thing is in the house.
  6. Be on tab with the 3 kids schedules, appointments, my own work schedule and R’s flying schedule while juggling all the daily activities.
  7. Tiger girl being clingy

    Know when to be “soft” or “hard ” with the kids so that they do not take advantage of others and learn to be independent.

  8. Work from Dawn to Dusk so that everybody in the family gets attended to and not forget to have ME time for myself in the process.
  9. Read books on cooking and baking which I never though I would ever do as I didn’t even learned to cook before the kids were born.
  10. Decide to give up working in the corporate world so that I can fully concentrate on the family.

What superpowers do you have as a mom?

Piano Performances on a Monday

Piano Performance Venue

Piano Performance Venue

Last month the boys took part in their music school’s piano recital for the year. This year was extra special as it was the first time that Doggie boy is taking part in the recital. In previous years only Monkey boy got to perform.

Doggie boy and his teacher performed the song “Hot Cross”. I didn’t manage to record the whole song but here is a snippet which I managed to capture.

Doggie boy is very reserved by nature so he doesn’t really like performing to an audience. However we are trying to make him open up more and enjoy performing as he would need to hone this skills for show and tell and oral in school.It was a good experience for him and I’m sure in time to come he will be more open to performing.

Monkey boy played the song “The Swan” by Saint-Saens. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to record this whole song too as the camera auto cut off the video I was taking a few times. Not so sure what that happened but I guess DSLR cameras are not really cut out for taking video.

He is a pro when it comes to performing as he knows the motions which he has to go through. It was great to see him performing so confidently.

Here is the song ” The Swan”. Listening to this song brings back a lot of memories for me as I performed this song on the violin during my teenage years as part of the school’s String Ensemble

Were you into classical music too?
