My Glamorous Life
I was recently accused of being glamorous.
This made me laugh so hard that I snorted water through my nose.
I try to be transparent and real on this blog. With all my stories of being covered in bodily fluids, I can’t imagine anyone finding me glamorous, but just to put an end to that silly rumor let me tell the back story behind the above picture.
This is me and the love of my life at the hospital Christmas party all dressed up in our fancy duds.
An hour before this picture was taken I was in my underwear on my hands and knees, bleaching my bath tub, cleaning up toddler diarrhea. I felt like a rock star for managing not to get either bleach or poop in my hair.
After the party I rode around in a limo drinking champagne and eating Grey Poupon. Yeah, right. Nope came home, changed into jammies and spent two very exciting hours finishing up my charting for the week. I know, you’re jealous of my rock and roll lifestyle.
Not that I’m complaining, I am blessed to be both a mom and doctor. Truly, I count both callings as an honor and a privilege. This is just a reminder {for you and for me} that when we see people’s glossy Facebook and Twitter feeds, we are often seeing them at their photoshop’d best.
Everyone’s life is a little messy. Especially mine.
Does your life seem messy to you? What is one time you truly did feel glamorous?

Life DOES seem messy to me– I am a med student, in my third year, and no day is ever the same. I feel like I’m constantly cleaning up piles of clothes, books, and paper, throwing out food that spoiled that I never got to cook, and will be forever lagging behind on laundry, dishes, and cleaning the shower and kitchen floor. The last time I felt glamorous was at Christmas when I had a few days to relax and dressed up in a black silk dress for the holiday! It’s back to scrubs and boring work clothes now.
