Living life like a Movie Star

You wake up in the morning, hair perfect, make-up still applied flawlessly, and your love interest is inches from your minty mouth whispering sweet nothings, your perky boobs defy your age, while the coffee is brewing in the kitchen. 

Haaaaaaaaaaa, ya, ok.  Let's take Hollywood out of this scenario and add some reality:

You wake up, ughh, your not sure if you have a ponytail in or if your hair has actually matted itself at the back. Your make-up, if you hadn't removed it the night before, is perfectly applied to the pillow sheet.  That person in the bed with you (if it's not the three year old, or the 4 legged child, but rather the person involved with the creation of the said three year old), will not be coming in for some morning smooching. Really. You know you could stand to brush your own teeth, never mind them. As for the silver screen breasts that stand at attention when laying face up, yours are tucked nicely into your armpits (a 'perk', or not, for the big chested). You could really use a coffee...with any luck Starbucks delivers.  

Here is the scoop. Perfection is not the Hollywood version. Perfection is having a reason to get up. Perfection is getting the knots out... Out of your hair, the sheets, your back...your life. Perfection is the reflection in the mirror of that person who battles and wins...ties...or at the very least continues to battle. 

If you have somebody to share your bed with, you are very fortunate indeed.  If you have hair that can get messed, and breasts still attached you are blessed with good health. If you woke up in the morning, you already won. 

Remove the idea of lipgloss and fresh breath at 6am, and get a coffee maker with a timer. Sighhh, such is a glamorous life. 

Stay happy & healthy
