I am Not SuperWoman

I am not superwoman, I am not a disease, I am not perfect, I am not alot of things. Lately I have had a hard time with people trying to put me in categories. I am not a category.

I go to a party and it is pointed out that there is special food and drinks for me to everyone there. "This drink has no sugar in it. It is for Amy to drink." Yes that has actually happened. They announce it to everyone.  Yes I am diabetic, have kidney damage, High blood pressure, Joint problems and a long list of other stuff. But that is not who I am. I deal with my limitations and go on.

I am not superwoman. I have my days where I cant function like everyone else. I wish I had people that understood that. My house is not spotless, I may opt to cook something easy for dinner, and I cant bend down and pick stuff up off the floor most days. I wish I had support on those days but some people close to me don't get that. They think I should be Mary Sunshine all the time and be Miss Susie Homemaker. No one here suffers for it. My kids are took care of, They have everything they need. They come first. My animals do not suffer. My husband doesn't suffer.

I am not perfect. Yes I make mistakes I am human like most people out there. (I said most because there is some people that cant be human I swear.)  If I make a mistake I will take care of it. Yes you can tell me but do not ride my butt over it and keep riding until I just want to tell you to shut up.

I have a weird sense of humor. I may offend some people. But you are an adult and you can get over it. I find that I get offended by some people I just let it roll off my back as long as it is not in front of my kids.

I do not care if you are 420 friendly. Thank you for asking me if you can smoke it. Thank you for not smoking it in front of my kids. As long as you take care of your family and do not steal to get it I do not care what you do with your free time.

I am a farmer, mother, wife, zoo keeper, teacher and a recipe writer. I have a brown thumb and can not grow any thing.  I play with my food and encourage my kids to do the same. I love to travel, eat out at different restaurants, explore small towns, go to thrift shops, spend time with my kids, spoil my kids and my Pom. I love to get in the kitchen and cook. I love to try new products and come up with different ways to use them.


I hope this gets you to thinking about what you are. You are not a category or a disease.
