Mom Blobbin’

Leave a reply

Here are some doodles from Sunday, because Mother’s Day was actually great. I spent time with family, and especially my boys. We picked dew berries, walked the same roads I would walk as a kid, I took in all the changes because whoa…life. It wasn’t as guilt ridden as I was dreading. There were no grand gestures or big dinners/brunch or anything, just the kind of quiet, slow kind of day that I can soak in everything without rushing, doing, trying so hard and my kids actually didn’t mind me making them do the things! We unplugged so there are no pictures. But we need to unplug and connect with people around us. It’s imperative!! Do it now!!! I wish, I wish I could go back to many years from now and relive my life and not make the mistakes that I had made but as the song goes,

“I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger”

I live with that on my mind a lot. But it’s all part of something else, some other plan,

Oh La La by Faces

but as of now I sit waiting, learning, grieving, giving, doodling, writing my pseudo wisdom. I have yet more to learn.

Mother’s Day

To all Mom’s on Earth. Happy Mother’s Day.

I don’t really like these doodles, the bird is too big and the little blobs look like hamsters to me. Oh well, here you go. I normally feel mushy and want to write something sweet but I don’t feel like it. I feel sort of guilty, this holiday is set out for moms which is great! but I don’t feel like I’m that great of a mom to deserve it. Or that great of a daughter to my mom either. I feel I should be doing more, and I don’t because I’m tired or stressed or guilty for not doing everything. Ugh

Pierre the Racoon

Hi, Pierre

Pierre the Racoon who likes baguettes

On multiple occasions I’ve caught a raccoon climbing out of a tree to steal baguettes out of the dumpster. Sometimes full, sometimes half loaves of baguettes. I’m almost convinced someone is purposely leaving them for him! So we named him Pierre, he has exquisite taste. As all French do…I’m going to leave him a glass of bourdeux next time.

Once there was a thing called spring

Mush faces coming at you! because I haven’t felt like drawing and/or anything really. But these are my new half faces along the pages of my journal.

I do have a new March playlist! You can guess the theme I believe:

March Playlist

I did get out today with camera, and it was the same rather dismal sky. You wouldn’t have believed it was March and the beginning of spring break here. So I won’t show you the same mushroomy toadstools I found today. But I did figure out the big birds I thought were cranes were actually great egrets because that makes more sense around here along the creek beds and such. The other morning it was still dark and I was coming across the bridge over the creek I saw some flying above me. They were huge and graceful! That was cool! Or it could be herons, but I’m thinking they’re egrets. There were three flying above me. So I’m not sure, they looked too wirey to be geese. Who knows they were cool birds flying above me!

Anyway we don’t have any big grand mush adventures planned, but just being with my kids is all that I want to do. And so I imagine we will find something magical even if it’s just a cool rock and/or a new hiking trail.
