It's been a while since I've been here. I've been busy at work on my new toddler's board book. That has seemed to sap my creative energies. I guess there is not really a finite amount of creativity. I was just sick of the computer by the end of the day to participate in Illo Friday. have been peeking at others though. good stuff! I I'll dive back in eventually. Its hard with summer on the verge and all the outdoor fun in the sun to be had.
This week has been a bummer though. I just found out that my little sister ( I was a Big Brother /Big Sister volunteer) doesn't want me as her big anymore. She has been a bit difficult, sullen, quiet the past couple months and I blamed puberty. It still could be that, but it still stings a bit. I feel like I invested a lot of emotion into that girl and she always had her wall up. That was a harder task than I had expected. We had fun, but I think I was looking for a lasting relationship and she wasn't. I know what its like to be that age, looking to your friends for most of your emotional needs trying to fit in. Not wanting to be noticed or pointed out for being different. She has a rought road ahead of her, I hope she does okay. I'll have to let go.
I must have sensed it coming because 2 weeks ago I had a dream that it happened just like it really came to reality.
Happy Memorial Day Tomorrow!
