The Super Power Every Mom Needs: The Time Stretcher! always Victorious Over the Time Beast -

Day 56: If you could have a super power, what would it be?

I set a timer to write this: 5 minutes to decide the Super Power, what it is and why it would be so often to have.

So – I am a busy mom – writer – actor – poet – performer – friend – teacher – leader – and on – and on- and on. My biggest nemesis?

The Time Beast!

(Special Note - the only images remotely resembling what I had in mind for this on flickr were both obscene. Please accept these goofy, loveable yet heinous critters in their place.)

Have you seen this big old hairy wort covered monster?

It huffs, it puffs, it continually blows down my house-of-cards-slice-of-time calendar and drives me into Mama-etc, insanity!

Because I have the super power of intuitive mind reading even now, I can see some of you nodding, smiling and yes – I even hear a groan or two.

My Super Power of Choice – The Time Stretcher!

Yes – when need be, I am able to stretch moments of time so that I can get what I need to get done, done without becoming a crazed whirling dervish at the same time – unless, ofcourse, I feel like being a Sufi Dancer – which is what a whirling dervish is so perhaps, if your super power is “I have to learn more cool interesting trivia” with that fact, you are now on your way.

I don’t need much, I just need that.

You know, when your best friend is coming over and you haven’t mopped your hard wood floor yet? It will only take ten minutes but there she is, pulling up in front of your house?                                

Zap the Time Stretcher into motion and the entire world, except for you, is on slo-motion.

You can get that floor mopped, calmly whisk on some mascara and lipstick, and greet her at the door with her favorite cup of tea and a smile on your face.

Plus you haven’t even broken a sweat.

My timer just went off. I was able to stretch time enough to write a respectable blog post in five minutes. I’ll take that, too.

(Special Note: There need to be more Moms posing as Super Hero's for the next round of Summer Blog Challenge. This is why I am stuck with a Mom Mobile image which is quite cute, but not exactly what I hoped to use! Grateful, though for the usage -
