It started with the commute home and went down from there. The commute was straight out of Bizzaro world and when I got home my kids decided to test the theory "why do animals eat their young?". I decided to pour myself a glass of wine when the cork decided to get stuck. I must have given the cork a look that conveyed "die in a fiery death cork!" because my husband said "you look like you want to pry open the bottle with your teeth" and I thought, "you know, he's right, that kind of day" and a new selfportrait is born.
LOL--I couldn't wait to post this to "this is what a mother looks like".
Also if there was any doubt "when a shot is really shitty, process the hell out of it".

My night exactly. 15 mile commute home from work, two craaazzy little boys screaming as I walked in, and a bottle of wine awaiting. Love your pic!

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Push the cork inside the bottle next time and save your teeth. I agree about the processing though!
