Last night I got home from Young Women's to find that ALL the kids were ornery. They were crying, or whining, or screaming, or crying, or refusing to eat, or did I mention crying? Well after some quick dinner, I decided to pull out a never fail trick. NONE of the kids wanted to have a bath. So what does a 20-something (yes I am still 20-something thank you very much) mom do when kids just don't want to take a bath? Anybody? Nope. Anybody else? You got it, you trick them into taking a bath. The method of choice last night was "superpower bubble baths." I started with Ammon and Sam. I told them to hop into the tub, close their eyes and imagine the superpower they wanted to have. Sam said he wanted to be like Spiderman. Ammon chose Batman (Matt would be proud). Jeremy and Bailee were watching and they begged to have a superpower bubble bath too. So, after Ammon and Sam were out of the tub and had their pj's on, I headed upstairs to give my two kids superpowers. They both wanted to be invisible and super strong. After all the kids had been bathed and put to bed, I began to wonder what superpower I would want should I ever decide to take a superpower bubble bath. Would I want to be super fast? Invisible? Super smart (oh wait, I already am), super strong? Would I be spiderman? Batman? Super sweet? Super kind? Super funny? Would I be able to leap buildings in a single bound? Oooh, or maybe see through things? That one would be fun, for a while at least. What if I could turn things into gold? Score!! I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't be able to choose just one thing. So what would you choose?

I would totally have super problem solving ability combined with hightened mechanical skills. Then i could solve any problem i was faced with and be able to do it myself, which would save some cash in the process. (yes, i'm the stingy accountant. Just ask Abby)
I would be Super Mom with extra arms.
I'm also having fun learning from you and your super powers. Thanks for all your help with the boys.
Yeah Sharon you need more arms for sure. I think I would have to have to say I would want super speed so I could accomplish everything in one day. I could also be faster at typing so I could get more work done faster.
I will have to try the superpower bubble bath on my kids. I would tell them they were real speedy so they could get in and out with mach speed and still be clean. We have no patience with slow bathers here. Maybe I need super patience too.
I think I would like to be able to understand exactly what people mean when they talk, so there could be no misunderstands like now. That would solve a lot of problems I think. Then you would never have to get mad because you understood completely. Yup, that's for me.
I think that I would have to go with the speed and energy because that is one thing I am totally lacking right now. All I do is sleep and that is no joke!! My poor kids have to sit and watch dora the explorer in the morning and then I get up in time to make them lunch and send them off to school. Pretty sad huh.
I would have to say that I could make gold! That would be nice, and then I would volunteer Justin with the speed to get whatever I need done. So we would have the money, and he would get it done quick!! That would be nice!!
