The secret of being superwoman

People sometimes say to me: Margaret, How do you do it all?  You have a novel coming out, you teach amazing college students, you withstand enormous amounts of whining while carting your children to and fro, and yet you always seem ready for a relaxing glass of wine.  How is that humanly possible?

Well, friends, let me tell you my secret: low standards.

Low standards will help you through many a challenge. When you have low standards you know that:

An onion is a perfectly good vegetable to serve your family.

Dust bunnies actually add excitement to your living situation because they make you feel like you are living with very small ghosts.

Everything has its place, and sometimes everything has the same place.

Of course, some people just have to be overachiever:

Jamie, a forest nymph, don't you think?

Katia.  With those eyes? Venus.

Liz.  Bastet, Egyptian goddess of cats.

Keep your photos coming.  They are so unique and fabulous.
