Margaritas with My Daughter

Professor Material,
almost 25, serious, thinking clearly.
Not me after two margaritas, being a lightweight and all.
Serious at work, as a mother, as a quasi-wife, not tonight.
No worries as they are all lined up doing it themselves,
finding jobs, partners, cleaning basements and doing dishes,
I can drink a couple of margaritas and wobble home on my bike.
It all gets done, the chores, the to-do lists, the career development.
All I have to do is get up tomorrow, eat breakfast and head out
clear headed and eager to figure it all out for myself,
the others will do it for themselves.
How relaxing.
