Perfect Mommies - What's the sacrifice?

How do these I'm all put together Mommies, perfect hair, perfect nails, and matching clothes do it everyday?  Or frankly any day for that matter? I'll be honest some days getting up and putting on "normal" clothes is difficult.  This isn't because I want to stay in bed, it just seems that little extra time or effort to change from comfortable yoga pants and a t-shirt into adult "normal" clothes just isn't in the cards. Some times when I take the kids out and I see these "super" moms I wonder what am I doing wrong?  Why can't I leave the house like that?  Oh that's right - I'm not willing to sacrifice one minute of my precious sleep to get up earlier than the kids, and making myself look "perfect" isn't something I can do with 2 children looking for my attention.  I have learned in the last year to value every moment of good quality sleep I can get.  Yet here I am at 11:45 on a Friday night writing this blog and watching Private Practice just so I can enjoy a small amount of quiet time to myself.  So back to the question - how do these Mommies do it?  What are they giving up or how are they better planning than I am?  This blog is my vent and exploration into the Perfect Mommy world.  I'll be honest though I'm pretty sure I will never be that - all put together, doing it right Mom - and I don't know that I'm all that broken up about it. Just saying.
