filling up my love tank with a generous supply of cuteness

DSC050466335.jpg

it's been a day of erratic thinking. whimsicalities. and Disney movies watching. and going Christmas shopping, alone, again, merely disrupted my perfected melancholy. I squeezed through crowded sidewalks and narrow alleys trying to ignore the suffocating familiarity of buildings, streets and even people. and for the first time in years, I wished I were somewhere else. exhaustion, loneliness, doubt, I wish I could explain my lassitude but every excuse I come up with is completely irrelevant.

"Mommy!"

"what?"

"smell my feet!"

love enfolds as my little boy laughs hysterically. and his innocence fondles my tormented soul.

oh how I love him.

AWWWW!! So cute! It makes you want to cuddle up! and "smell my feet" it's even cuter! It's like they know when to say the right thing to make you laugh.

It's great that you still look and are able to recognize the small but good things in life when your world feels blue. Treasure this talent of yours.

I get despondant...and then my 3 year old daughter comes up to me and squishes my boob. There is no way to not laugh when she does that...even if it is annoying.
