Can women today have it all? (and be divas too!)



I want it all. I want a happy, "healthy" family, close friends, a profession (YES, I WANT TO BE A DOCTOR!), and I want to be a diva all day, every day. Is that possible? (I'd make a white lab coat look fashionable!) I think I pose this question already knowing the answer. There is no such thing as having it all. I'm pretty ambitious, maybe too ambitious,...at the risk of my family, children, and friends. I tell myself when I am fulfilled, I'm a better person, wife, mother, etc...I think that might just be a selfish justification. It would drive me absolutely crazy to be a "stay at home" wife/mother. Having been there done that for six months, I know it's not easy! It's also boring as hell...You can only bake so many cookies before throwing your hands in the air and screaming NO MORE FUCKING COOKIES! I have two beautiful children who seem okay with mommy not chaperoning every move they make and forming play dates...nothing wrong with playdates I'm just not interested in discussing with other moms the color of my children's shit and baby einstein movies. I'm more interested in why does e=mc^2^ and special relativity and inertial frame of reference..okay just completed physics II and I don't give a shit about special relativity actually...been there, done that ... so can I be a good mom and a doctor too? I'm going to bed..stay well...
