I am not Wonder Woman. I have to keep reminding myself of that.

I have been feeling way too stretched out lately: my teaching job, my family, the house & yard, and trying to squeeze in enough time per day to work on writing, researching, emailing, blogging, facebooking, etc.

Sketching ideas to keep my art soul happy and make progress on my next
