Can you believe I even did a Monday me? This was one of those days where I had minimal time so my multi tasking brain decided to set up the tripod & shoot while I unloaded the groceries. And don't judge me for those plastic bags. I forgot my cloth ones at home. I also shot like, 200 pictures not realizing my foot was cut off in all of them. Again, don't judge me. ha

joy of LOVE 28: the future
Wow, 28 days of joy of LOVE. I must admit, some of those prompts really had me stretching my imagination some days. Seeing as this is a Monday Me as well, I decided to focus on my more immediate future. I am looking fwd to a great summer w fantastic friends & lots of kiddies playing all around us!

joy of LOVE 14: jewelry
So I didn't take any pictures till like, 8pm. I didn't exercise, I even tried to take a nap. I am not feeling well & probably getting what everyone else has had for weeks now. My body is tired of fighting it off. Blah for feeling bad, blah for Monday me when I'm feeling bad.
This is a really special necklace the husband got for me. He told me it was our two hearts & bc of his job, we may not always be together but our hearts are.
Also a side note to this picture: how many different ways can you stand to make a picture of your neck look interesting. Turns out, not very many.
Now I'm going to bed.
Updated. Thanks to J for telling me how to add vignetting to this shot. I agree it really adds something to it.

joy of LOVE 07: generations
Well it was hard to come up w something for this prompt, seeing as we are in Japan. I would have loved to get some kind of generational shot (& believe me, family, when you get here I will be) but it wasn't happening today especially since I also wanted to stick w the Monday me theme.
So I asked the girl, Do you want to take a picture w me?
Her, Can we wear hats?
Uh... do we need to wear hats?
Yes.
So here we are in our hats making some silly faces.

Two birds, one stone.
It seems to be a running theme in this blog how busy my life is. Today, after working out, I had exactly 20 minutes to eat & being the multi tasker I am, it was also the perfect opportunity to take my Monday me picture.

A mom's work is never done.
Really I had hoped to get a cool picture of me today. Artistic maybe. Makeup on, at least. But my days are so filled w school drop offs & pick ups, ballet class, laundry, making baby food, making meals, exercising, SHOWERING, play dates, etc. I barely have time to cut my fingernails until I'm mortality wounding one of the kids. Even right now I'm sitting here w the baby in a sling, being smacked in the face w Sophie the giraffe. My kids don't even have homework or play competitive sports or that 4th sibling we keep talking about yet & still every day is filled from sun up to sun down. I'm a stay at home mom & some days I barely have time for mothering. Is this just me or does everyone feel this overwhelmed?
So here's Monday Me. Making peanut butter w my helper bf I whisk her off to ballet.

Monday Me
I'm not going to lie. I love this photo. It's not exceptional or amazing but it means something to me. If you didn't know better, you'd look at this picture & think of a gal having a quiet, relaxing breakfast. A cup of coffee in a peaceful seaside cafe. The reality couldn't be farther from the truth. The truth is, we were having breakfast out bc our cleaning people were at our house. We were squeezed into this tiny seaside cafe where you could hear a pin drop. My son was drinking the last of his syrup from the plastic container while my daughter sat & watched yogurt drip off her wooden spoon onto the wooden floor. The husband & I were tag teaming holding the baby bc there were no high chairs. I had set up my camera on top of two menus w all eyes on me & the husband thinking, NOW! You're doing this NOW! I took only 3 shots. So yeah, I love this photo. It represents both the reality & the idealism of my life.

Ha! Ok so my shutter speed is crazy slow but as I said, my life doesn't allow for extra time to fiddle w settings.

Put on a little make up, make up...
I wasn't able to post this last night. Computer problems again. Ah, I'm so tech savvy. Anyway, I snapped this last night to begin a Monday Me. I'm putting my face on bf going out to play bunko w the gals. It was so quiet & I was so completely alone I took the opportunity to take abt... 100 shots. I know the focal point pretty much missed my face but it's a start. I posted in b&w bc I thought it added something to it, even tho I have no clue how to convert (properly to b&w). How bold! Please critique but please, don't crush me. I have feelings.
