(kinda-sorta-not-exactly) Wordless- Wednesday: The REAL Desperate House Wife Edition

As I’ve shared with all of you, it has been one whirl wind of a week here.

My Grandmother is still recovering from her heart surgery- and now all out of sorts mentally. My sister has some “unknown” illness where her glands are so swollen she can barely breath.  Now add my every daystress of balancing work and 2 children into the mix…. and viola! - you have yourself a Migraine Martini…definitely shaken, not stirred…. drink up!

This weekend a friend of mine who is a photographer was taking pictures for her websites and asked me to join her. Her pictures are all retro-pin up types and going back in time and dressing up was the perfect escape from reality for me.

Yesterday I got to see some of the final shots. Her work as always- was brilliant.  Still, to me all I could see was the exhaustion and stress in my eyes. I’ve always believed we only look as good as we feel… and I felt BURNT- OUT.

So of all the beautiful shots we took, it was this one below that suitably seemed to capture my crazy mind perfectly.
