“Outside Looking In”
by Hypnogaja

As I lie there on the ground
I remember all the good times of yesterday
And as I wait there to be found
I reflect upon the bad times of yesterday

As I’m on the outside
Looking in at my reflection
Where’s my life’s direction
As I’m on the outside
Looking in to where I’ve been

And now I stare into the eyes
Of a faceless man that I once knew
No one hears my cries
I’m crying for the truth

So now say the truth, from crawling to falling
I’ve seen the proof from the outside looking in

Now the time has come at last
Time to learn from all the memories of the past
Time moves on, and way too fast
Time is now and I won’t let it become the past

I keep taking really great pictures of the kids.

Bub had his fourteenth well visit with the pediatrician, and I took Monster along so that he could get a referral to resume occupational and speech therapies if the clinic that I would like to have see both of them gets to his before he turns eighteen, elsewise I’m going to have to look into the availability of therapies like this for developmentally and intellectually delayed adults. Both of them did well, and in the interim I got some really great pictures of both of the kids. I am swimming in great pictures of both of the kids right now.

I’d love to move out of this state at some point.

I am now at the stage in my family’s SNAP benefit cycle to where I am filing daily complaints with the state ombudsman about how it’s taken more than a month and a half for the state to process a simple, uncomplicated benefit renewal. I don’t know why you have to file daily complaints with the state ombudsman and threaten to litigate (through Legal Aid, as it would be in my case) to get them to do their jobs, and how they can manage to “respond” to you sending you a copied and pasted blurb not addressing any of your concerns in the time that could be spent actually processing these applications and renewals.

Every six months I have to do this so that my family retains SNAP benefits we are entitled to.

Every year I have to do this for my Medicaid, and I remind the state that they can not pursue child support.
