Being a single mom is the hardest but most rewarding job that I’ve ever had. Despite my best efforts, I’m fairly certain that I’m not doing everything right. Every day is a new learning experience for me as I experience the adventure called parenthood. (Just don’t tell my kids as they think I got it nailed)
Every day brings fresh opportunities for a nervous breakdown as I madly Google methods to remove crayon from the wall or gum from the carpet, attempt to project an outward calm when I fetch the beta fish out of the toilet bowl, devise new ways to hide veggies in their food, and figure out how to entertain a teenager so he wont be on his iPod 24/7. Of course, this is all in a days work despite the fact that the list doesn’t end there.
Through it all, I never lose sight of the fact that, as unconventional as we are, the boys are my family and my purpose. They’re my foundation and my heart. No matter what else I might do wrong in life, they’re the three things that I’ve done right.
Having three children is tough enough. I have no idea how I’d deal with having 533!
That’s the situation nonchalant underachiever David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn) finds himself in in the new movie “Delivery Man” when he discovers that he fathered over 500 children through an anonymous donation at a fertility clinic 20 years ago.
When a large group of the children petition the sperm bank learn the identity of their father, David is forced to decide whether or not to come forward. As dysfunctional and monumental as the situation may be, could this be the purpose he’s been searching for? When it comes to family, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side – its greener where its tended to most. The reality is that nobody has the perfect family – we’re just good at putting the “fun” in dysfunctional.
I have no doubt that the Delivery Man won’t fall short of delivering (no pun intended) a laugh packed, feel good, family style punch.
This movie hits theaters on November 22, 2013. I already have 533 reasons why you should see this film – don’t you?
