Ramble Scramble

The last thing I want to be is discouraged and angry. Well, it happens. I know most of my frustration comes from not having energy and only dabs of encouragement. It seems lately whenever I feel I am just blossoming into something, I have already wilted. The decaying sets in at the first sign of color.
I hate these moods. Right now I am off my foot thanks to a very unwanted bee sting. When I walk it hurts and the infection has a greater chance of spreading. Of course this adds to my laziness and needless to say the state of the house is displeasing right now. Heaven forbid anyone help without comment or loud noises. I'll just have to suck it up and pray the infection and swelling do not spread for the sake of a hopefully peaceful home.
I have been looking online for photography conventions. There seem to be quite a few, some of them longer than a weekend. There are some that offer one day specialized "sessions" or "classes", I may go that way so childcare is not an issue. Being behind the lens is rather freeing. It's a place that I don't feel like I don't belong, or that I am doing something that isn't allowed. There is really no regulations, just knowledge to grow from. It's kind of why I love it, I don't feel like a self conscience 16 year old.

Comic Book Stores and Being You

Untitled

The older boys started the summer reading club at I.E. Comics yesterday. It's a pretty small group this week but, I'll add two more of my own next week. They can share a trade since they are early/pre-readers. This means I get to read the books to them...woot!

While most 12 year old boys I have come to know would steer clear of paper masks and shields, mine does not. He is true to himself, he is happy with who he is... even when girls his age are around. Why? Because, I want him to know it's okay to be himself, no matter what the situation is. I know he looks angry in this picture but, super heroes don't smile.

I hope that all my kids are comfortable being who they are. That they are not easily swayed to change for someone else, or change their opinions or beliefs. They are pretty awesome how they are, and yes sometimes it can be annoying....but, they are loved anyhow.
