The Perfect Mum - How does she do it

Every morning before dropping off my 7 year old to school, i try very had to look decent and dress up a bit in the morning. It not an easy job, it is mission impossible. But i can assure you there are some mums who look like they drop off the cover of a fashion magazine in the school early in the morning, dropping of their daughters. 

I was driving through the school one day and saw this mum with her daughter walking towards the classroom, the mum looks so perfect with her bleached blond straight hair in place and full on make up.  That morning i was up at 6.00am and still got out of the house looking like some homeless person who had not slept for days.  The first thoughts that came to my mind was how did she do it? What time did she wake up to look that perfect and still drop off her child on time. I was left feeling puzzle and disoriented as a mother. Thinking maybe i am not such a good mother or coping well as i should. (I look like shit and my daughter is mostly late often).

Well as luck will have it, i got my chance to find out after a few weeks when the mums of my daughter class decided to meet one afternoon after school for a picnic and this wonderful perfect mum happens to have her daughter in the same class as mine. Most of the mums i spoke to you said "oh she has only have one child that why, and she always looks perfect anyway, we have never seen her looking anything less before"

There you go, only child is the way to go if you want to have a life and look like a decent human being. Well i guess that confirms mission impossible for me, having a month old baby on my hands and a 7 year old.  I am lucky if i get 5 hours sleep straight in the night. It will be like winning the lotto. To look that perfect i need to wake up at 5.30 and apply a full on make up. hmmmm do i really want to look that perfect? Yes i do, i will be liar if i say no... but will i wake up at such ungodly hour to do it, i guess not.  The mind wants to but the body is saying no no no.

Conclusion is i will try and save some money and buy a good foundation and powder all in one, to apply quickly in the car while my 7 year old is getting her big school bag into the car (which takes her a few seconds).
Looking good gives confidence and i need a boost now and then......

Good night everyone, until next time.... xoxo berryblum almost crazy
