I was on the pc yesterday while my son was in the other room watching Fenius and Ferb, a children's cartoon show. and was listening to the show from my comfy pc chair.
I was literally amazed at it. The whole jist of the show was What Super hero would you be and what would be your powers? etc.........Then the group goes on to describe their ideal super hero...........There was Multi Girl who could pretty much do a whole bunch of things at one time, there was the Control Freak (need I say more?), The Belch Man-whose different burps gave off different super human powers, and there was the Rainbow something or other.
I was sitting there listening to this kid's cartoon show and thinking how my son is being taught reasonably early about a lot of Codependant behaviors.......I mean really what 12 yr old knows about being a Control Freak?
Then of course my wandering mind went from that to........hmmmmmmmmm......What super hero would I be? And I was jumping at the bit to beMultiWoman.......the woman who can do a million things at one time, who is always caught up and never behind. I'd be the Queen of Multitasking, and I'd be able to give enough of me to everyone that needed it. I'd always look like a movie star, I'd never have to worry about what I ate and my house would look like a castle. I'd never be late........just flying from place to place in miliseconds-lol!
I had to chuckle at myself for getting caught up in the fantasy........I'd almost forgotten what it was like to play make believe and let my mind wander to things that were just things and not responsibilities or codie behaviors...........WOW it was nice!!!! What a great break from the past couple of weeks....
So MIP family.......tell me............What super hero would you be?:)
Love and peace, Shelly

Super Serenity Woman! You know the one that life never fazes, no matter what happens. LOL The water off the ducks back kind of person. Life can blow up right in her face and she never gets upset or yells at the kids. Ha ha.
What a boring person I'd be then, but then again I am getting to like a nice drama-free "boring" life.
Yeah I think I am actually getting a bit of Super Serenity Woman into myself already. Still yell at the kids, though. Oh well. Progress, not perfection, right?
Fun topic. I hope others will jump in.
In recovery,

Loved reading your post =) I kinda like the Multi-Woman superhero .True .I'm usually doing what seems a million things at once ,I haven't got aruond to finishing them quite yet.As for looking amazing while doing these million tasks,I look more like I just blew in from a hurricane, So I guess My superhero still needs a little fine tuning LOL !!!
Attractor woman, I'd be able to attract everyone and everything I needed in my life so I'd get a break cuz I'd have help! LOL
Multiwoman get's old pretty quick and I totally feel what you are saying about focusing all the time on NEEDS and not WANTS. I think I'm getting better though but I'm burning the candle at both ends and in the middle. I do what I want but something has always gotta give - usually for me it's sleep.

I think I would be MULTI-WOMAN, too! can't seem to get enough done daily & sometimes get so overwhelmed--but if I had super powers, I could be the "me" I want to be I guess.
