Just for them
I am too busy these days to even brush my hair. Birthdays and trips in November and Christmas rapidly approaching. Barely the time to dribble the basketball or walk the dog before darkness comes after school. I haven’t updated this blog in a long time. I know this because my sister reminds me. Daily.
I don’t want to say I quit, but I will say I don’t have the time. Not right now.
So tomorrow…or tonight…or when I can get to it, I will change the theme of this blog, update it randomly simply to capture things I don’t want to forget. Or them to forget.
And so this space will no longer be for you or even my sister…but just for them. You know the them. The ones that still ask me to read to them at night, the ones that still like to make things with pipecleaners and glue and glitter, and the ones that still cry for me when they fall from their bike. The ones that need me to parent for two.
So long for now.
I understand….but I dont’ like it. I will miss you. Sometimes you and mom forget to tell me things…and this is how I stay connected with you and the girls. Not to mention, you are one of the most creative and talented and down to earth people I know and I wish you had time to share it. Love you!
Aunt Pippy, I agree! But, Mandy, don’t feel the obligation. Just check in whenever you can. You might be surprised who’s reading.
Have a great Turkey Day!
