I feel entirely un-put-together. And from what I gather, many women feel this way. We all feel this way, and yet we all generally fake it, hoping we can convince everyone else that we are together.
So, what exactly does it mean to be together? Well, this obviously varies for every woman, and that's where the trouble comes! For me, being put together means being a perfect homemaker. For many women, being a homemaker is a second job to providing financially for their families. Luckily, I'll be a homemaker full time after I graduate from graduate school next year. Even though I have time, I'm still not together...and I'll be working on that.
What's a perfect homemaker? Someone who keeps a clean home, makes healthy, homecooked meals most nights, shops frugally, reads voraciously (especially to her children) and sews. Tall order, I know. Which is exactly why I'm not put together right now...
