Every mom's dream, right? By the way, the REAL me would be the one with the kids. It would be all my mind-slave clone sisters who were doing the other work. Especially the laundry. :)

This came out better than I had expected, about how I had realistically hoped. The light in my house is -- well, you can see how the light in my house is, it's awful. It's a cave. All it's missing are the wall paintings of buffalo hunters. And this is AFTER I added a couple of 100-watt bulbs in clamp lights in the living room (note: I do not notice much of a color temperature difference between ordinary incandescent lights and the more expensive "reveal" ones by GE). But I had a lot of fun doing this shot. I think there must be an easier, more efficient way of doing the post-processing than the way I ended up doing it, but oh well.

And this is the end of this project. There have been times when I never thought I would say this, but I'm going to miss it, even though I am really, really tired of the sight of my own face. I've learned a lot, everything from lighting and PP stuff to Jack-Handy-deep thoughts about how I don't always look like Ubermom, and Internet people won't run screaming when they see what I look like (thank you).
