Superwoman

So I knew today would be an AWESOME day when...

1) I got around 5 hours of sleep last night and my eyes are bloodshot
2) Olivia cried during most of the 20 minute drive to her preschool this morning
3) I looked down and the 'check engine' light was on in my car

But there's still hope for the rest of today, right? (Right?!!)

On a more positive note, I found this song online the other day and thought it had a pretty cool message so I thought I'd share...


Superwoman by Alicia Keys

Everywhere I'm turning

Nothing seems complete

I stand up and I'm searching

For the better part of me

I hang my head from sorrow

Slave to humanity

I wear it on my shoulders

Gotta find the strength in me


Cause I am a Superwoman

Yes I am

Yes she is

Still when I'm a mess

I still put on a vest

With an S on my chest

Oh yes

I'm a Superwoman


For all the mothers fighting

For better days to come

And all my women, all my women sitting here trying

To come home before the sun

And all my sisters

Coming together

Say yes I will

Yes I can


Cause I am a Superwoman

Yes I am

Yes she is

Still when I'm a mess

I still put on a vest

With an S on my chest

Oh yes

I'm a Superwoman


When I'm breaking down

And I can't be found

And I start to get weak

Cause no one knows

Me underneath these clothes

But I can fly

We can fly, Oooohh


Cause I am a Superwoman

Yes I am

Yes she is

Still when I'm a mess

I still put on a vest

With an S on my chest

Oh yes

I'm a Superwoman

Oh yes

You are a Superwoman

Good luck with the rest of the day!! Crazy fun start! I liked your previous post about the "wanting things" I do think it is pretty (ok, incredibly) hard to do in our society. We are constantly barraged with things we need/want/should want, and it is hard to ignore all the signs. I wonder how many items are thrown at the average american each day, telling us what we should have.
The funnny (or sad) thing is that Americans actually have it better than some other countries, like Japan. My friends lived there for 3 years, and said consumerism is much worse than here. Crazy!
Okay, done ranting now! Have a great rest of the day.
