sorry i'm a bit late with the weekword, but i spent the morning taking care of my little artsygirl, who has been having some back pain lately. it's no wonder - the child is a contortionist and she never stops moving. it is nothing to find her scaling stop signs, hanging from the inside doorways of our house, bouncing high on a trampoline and landing hard on her can, or the most horrifying to me, watching her scale the rope up to the ceiling of the gym, ringing the cowbell at the top and waving hello from 20 feet in the air. so i took her to the doctor this morning thinking it would be a quick in/out visit with a prescription for an ice pack and motrin, but instead they sent us over to the hospital for a round of x-rays. when the doctor asked her how she hurt her back, she thought for a second and said, "you know, i think it was that limbo contest."
i'm sure she's fine, and we wound up even having a little bit of fun during our re-routed morning. and since our day didn't go according to plan (it rarely does, which is why i generally don't plan in the first place), i decided on DETOUR for the weekword. if you want to play, leave me a comment, and post your interpretation this friday - a drawing, journal page, photo, painting, a story - truly, any way you want to take it ;)

OMG -- "I think it was that limbo contest." That's my official explanation for all aches and pains from now on!
Hmm, she also has a sense of humor too!
did the doctor laugh, please tell me (s)he laughed.
hope she is feeling better soon!
she is adorable. hope she feel better very soon, like now!
oh yes, the doctor burst out laughing! we both did. it was hard not to. what's more, my artsygirl didn't intend for the remark to be funny at all. to her, that limbo contest was serious business.
i hope she is feeling better and all with detour and xrays will turn out fine.
i am in for the weekword!
xo
Ahhhh, to be able to even do the limbo again. Hope she's feeling better though. In the meantime, I'm really diggin' this style in your journal - kind of sketchy and always bursting with color!
Well limbo is serious business but of course I am so glad that she is ok!
Detour, good word. It seems there is a detour of some sort in nearly every day, eh?
i hope your little one feels in tip-top shape soon! i am in for DETOUR this week!
Poor kid. We have a wall climber at my house, too! They just don't seem to know how to slow down...
Hope your artsygirl is feeling better and hittin' the limbo poles soon.
Hey, just wanted to say you are my official Monday Muse this week! Each week I find a Mama Artist who has the passion and drive to indulge her artistic side (and thus inspire me to do the same)
Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration!
