.374 day 349

yesterday's fmsphotoaday theme was "in the background". 

i end up using the second one, with the little monkey blurred in the background.

i had to use the first two pics i shot, because toots snatched them away dramatically  before i could take any more. 

"these are MY monkeys"! 

(for the record: only one of them is hers, but, in a toddler's mind, everything is theirs...because they SAID SO)

her favorite place to be.

i hope to one day look over at a teenage her, and remember these moments, like they're happening right in front of me.

i've been hiding in my photos.

journals, neglected and fading and wondering where my words have gone. 

i wish i had an answer for them. 

but if i had to take a guess, i'd say

that my need to write down what i'm feeling

left the moment that my daddy did.

i don't want to journal these emotions.

correction: i cannot journal these emotions.

so...i hide behind my photos.

.345 day 322

day of doctor visits led to a day of nothingness.

sat on front steps trying to find something to shoot for today's instagram challenge (theme: perspective) 

while jalen taught toots how to use a rock as a crayon on concrete and how to make muscles if anyone dare challenge her new found hobby. 

clad in her nightgown and barefoot bliss, toots goes on the search for ants.

my 'eureka' moment. 

(oh,snap, do you remember that show on nickolodean? "eureka's castles"?!)

.325 day 292

another instagram challenge post.

todays theme: in my bag

1. vintage leather pocket book: scored at  a random thrift shop, in a random part of town.

2. day planner: it's either this, or red string tied to my finger (i once forgot my child's birthday)

3. hershey kisses (with almonds): an orgasm in my mouth, addiction is an understatement.

4. change purse: yes, i am that person who holds up the line to fish out exactly 43 cents.

5. leather wilson wallet: last thing my father ever bought for me (he had uber style).

6. 7. 8.  promotional cards, pen and business cards for my website.

9. funky yellow glasses el bought for me to go with the funky blue glass i already own.

10. bic lighter: for reasons.

11. peace pipe: reefer remedies for the very few times brain meds are not enough.

12. mini composition book: because i jot stuff down...sometimes.

13. organic hand sanitizer: to cleanse organic bacteria, i'd imagine. 

14. lucky penny: "find a penny - pick it up - all your days - you'll have good luck"

(note: it must be heads up when you find it)

(double note: i change mines out whenever i find a new one)

15. brain meds: they change as symptoms either progress or decline.

 (amitriptyline and tramadol are the culprits currently numbing my entire nervous system)
