The League of Mommies

You know what the world is missing? A comic book / blockbuster film tie-in that focuses on that most super of superheroes: the supermommy.

As we all know, each member of a band of superheroes must have her own superpower. (Duplication gets boring, yo.) My superpower is the ability to stop time.

TIME-STOPPING FELICITY METROPOLITAN adds crucial hours to her busy day with the snap of her fingers. With the extra five or six hours a day she allots herself, she cooks! she cleans! she (ahem) blogs more often! she sleeps! she does all the extra number-crunching that she otherwise doesn't have time to do at work because of all the mommy household/internet errands she needs to run during her workday!

What's your superpower, fellow supermommies?

Personal Time Is Always the First to Go . . .

I realize that the Urban Mommies have been a little lax in our posting duties over the last few weeks -- we've all just been very busy dealing with all those other things in our lives. You know, those things that actually give rise to the posts on this site.

We'll strive to do better over the near-future, but in the meantime, if anyone has anything going on in her own urban mommydom that warrants discussion, feel free to talk about it in the comments. We're all here to chat, even if we're too harried to concoct a formal post!

In the meantime: I've been reviewing my schedule, trying to figure out where I could save an hour per day (or per week, for that matter) to do some of the things I never have time to do. For me, I think the solution is probably to cut out a decent chunk of my evening internet surfing. That could be an easy hour a day. Anyone else have a readily identifiable culprit?
