So exactly how do they do it? Achieve that all
round perfection, something I strive to every day, but I never quite make it.
There is always an issue, a broken glass, spillage, burnt dinner or forgotten
work emails.
Multi tasking has never been my strong point; don't
get me wrong I try to juggle as many balls in the air as possible. Sometimes I
get it right, but I am my own worst enemy for being soft, agreeing to work
extra hours, double booking arrangements and not putting it in my diary.
I don't even feel like I am asking much. I just
want my hair and make-up to look amazing whilst I graciously help the boys with
their homework and effortlessly rustle up an amazing meal, in a perfectly tidy
home. After all that’s what we grow up seeing on the TV and in magazines isn't it? To be an amazing
multi tasking superwoman, some one who effortlessly bakes cookies on her
beautiful AGA cooker.
So, what exactly is my reality of domestic
perfection? Well for starters I haven't got an AGA, I blame my not being a fully-fledged
domestic goddess purely on this fact. Every domestic goddesses kitchen simply
must have one; surely?
I don’t score too badly on the hair front, I have
to keep on top of it as part of my job so failure in this department would be a
failure of epic proportion, a failure that I could not afford to make. But my makeup
could be more goddess like, I always start off with lipstick in the morning but
god only knows what happens to it, I need to be much more vigilant in the
lipstick department.
