the weekend went faster than i thought it would
and
the bumps along the way left me bruised and confused
::
i'll remind him all about it someday when he's a parent
and
feels a bit out of control while raising his own children
and
i'll hide my smile
as i thank god for paybacks
::
I love this photograph!!! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYes...paybacks are the best. I grin a lot these days when I talk to my son. He now has four teenagers!! HA!
Hugs

Oh yes, my daughter is only 10 but I am already reminding her of payback.
ReplyDeleteWhen she's a parent and asks the "Did I do that" question I will be sure to remember unlike my own mum. (which must mean I was a perfect child.) LOL!
Oh I so get it...and I KNOW my mom is somewhere laughing her *** off at the moment for the very same reason. Thanks so much for the comment on my poem- it is hard and sometimes a curse to feel so much isn't it? Have a wonderful day~~~
ReplyDeleteAgain, I so love your photography!
ReplyDeletebut I can relate to the topic, I can't wait for my 15 year old "hormonal" daughter to get her payback! She is driving me crazy!
However, I secretly wish she wouldn't get any older!
They are growing too quickly! My son (22)visited this past weekend, it's that empty nest syndrome, I guess!
LIFE, how wonderful!
Love Caroline
So true! My hubby sent his mom a mushy mother's day card once acknowledging his misguided ways as a child and thanking her for putting up with him :) Our son was three at the time and already kicking his behind...
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your photos and the words that go with them. Paybacks,
ReplyDeleteyes I think that is one reason I decided not to have children..I was very afraid of the paybacks..LOL
absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteInteresting synchronicity going on with you and Elena!! Have you seen her latest photo?????
ReplyDeleteThis sentiment is spot on for me this weekend too.
ReplyDeletethe wheels of life and justice and (paybacks) just roll right along...don't they? your perspective and images always put a smile on my face...
ReplyDeletebeautiful shot...and yes, those paybacks, it's hard to keep a straight face sometimes, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSo often I find myself biting my tongue..before saying something similar. Yes - someday there will be payback. Love the image!!!
ReplyDelete: )
ReplyDeleteperfect photo for the sentiment
Holy crap!! Talk about synchronicity - our photos are developing a theme today! Perhaps we're starting to set the dial to the same tune for when we meet. Supporting hugs sent your way. Yes, you'll be there to remind him when his kids are driving him nuts. That's what I fear with my son.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to see how you can take a picture of something from a slightly different angle and have it be a terrific picture.
ReplyDeletei like this little twist of fate...
ReplyDeletehope you are feeling better though? he shouldn't be hurting his mama...
I thought the same thing when my children were growing up. Guess what? They both have chosen not to have an children and will never know the joys and sorrows of children.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, this is a daily mantra. Gorgeous picture.
ReplyDeleteoh yes, hide that smile, until you roll on the floor and laugh. : )
ReplyDeletei love ya!
xo
hopefully, this will soon pass ... and your mother's heart will rejoice
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry it was a tough weekend...but yes, thank God for paybacks...hang onto that, for sure...Love, Janine XO
ReplyDeleteBeth - Unfortunately, then you just transfer the worry to your grandchildren...
ReplyDeleteLovely wheels. (They make me think, "What goes around, comes around.")
love the image... and i so know what you are feeling.....
ReplyDeletesomeday... wow, 'sigh'....
someday....
♥kim
You never fail to make me lean in close to the monitor with your photos.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour , the analogy.
hugs to you on the mothering. heavy sighs. deep breath. prayers.
i know this feeling. haha
ReplyDeleteI have a big grin on my face as I read this! Yes, someday a reminder will be quite appropriate!
ReplyDeletethe wheels of life keep turning...yes yes YES...i will hide my smile too..or maybe not!!
ReplyDeletecongrats on your 300 hundred followers ...I am not entering but I send you my best wishes
Lovin' the photo here.
ReplyDeleteHide it well, my friend. The paybacks will come soon.
ReplyDeleteThose kind of paybacks are worth waiting for, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteAnd it sounds as though this weekeng is making up for last weekend. :)
