Some days you’re bullet proof…

You know the feeling… some days you ARE Superwoman. Everything goes right. You make every meeting in an overly tight schedule. The traffic’s light. The weather’s perfect. You even have a good hair day. And then…

Yep. Then there are those OTHER days. You know. The ones where you feel like life’s shot you down so many times you might be a duck at the fair? Bullet proof? Heck no! More like bullet-ridden. There’s a wreck that stops traffic for miles on the only road that leads to your appointment. Your child comes home in tears from some small (to you) but life-ending (for her) social crisis at school. The hard drive crashes just as you are printing out the brief that (OH NO!) you suddenly realize you forgot to ‘save’.

What’s a girl to do? Where’s that bulletproof chest when you need it, oh woman of steel? You NEED those Wonder Woman cuffs. NOW!

Time to bite it…. the proverbial bullet, of course. Time to borrow that courage and strength from all our multi-tasking forbears. From the ones who held down the fort, castle, tent and tepee while the men fought amongst themselves, to the ones from the silver screen who shouted against all odds, “Let’s put on a show!” You can do it! Deep inside, you know you can. The traffic will clear (thank god it wasn’t you in that wreck!) The tears will turn to smiles the instant the phone wrings or a friend calls with a good word. The hard drive. Heck, you needed to do some cleaning our anyway.

Oh, yeah, you go girl! And those Wonder Woman cuffs, now where did I put them?
