Women’s Work is Never Done

Every year when the holidays arrive, I think I hear a collective sigh.  Women everywhere must call up all their stamina, ingenuity and patience, for the cavernous road ahead. 

The first apron she will don will be that of food gatherer….

ooo

And that of the never ending list maker…..hairstyle-top 788828216_f67486df20 ….domestic engineer and decorator.waterproof
