Mom

Today we went to the zoo, which I had really been looking forward to. But unfortunately it was a gross error on my part. In my mind zoo=lovely stroll through park looking at exotic animals. For my mom...zoo=a place to stalk more children. I swear she didn't see any of the animals, sshjust watched all the children and talked non-stop about what the children were doing. I know I am venting here in my blip journal but it gets very frustrating and exhausting to spend time with her.

The only way I could take this portrait was to take several while she was talking about something over lunch. She would talk and look away, then look back. She is so uncomfortable with the camera.
