This whole past week has been much like riding on a cloud. A friend and I wrote and illustrated (I illustrated) a children’s book a couple of years ago and had long since given up hope on it.. but now we’ve signed with an agent and things are starting to roll. Gods its good to dream

Why is it.. you can start out having a really wonderful day and within an hour or so its completely shot to hell? Erin was being particularly annoying this morning and disrespectful on top of that, then my head started pounding, then I try to leave a positive message on a MB I go to and end up getting told I’m being intolerant. Sheesh!!

But on the brighter side, I’m really excited about my graphics again. I love the stuff I’ve been doing and other people seem to as well. I’m coming up with so many neat ideas for pages and things I can hardly sit still 

Gosh I wish the weather would make up its mind. Got up this morning and went outside to smoke. It was cloudy, still and warm. Later it was raining. Then the sun came out and it was warm. Now its cloudy and cold and looks like snow again. I’m so sick of being cold!! I want sunshine and heat

Got some real positive feedback on my graphics site this evening. Its so wonderful to know that at least a few people out there like what I create.

Rhi had a very scary experience today, and I am upset and worried too. She and her friend Justin went to visit another friend, Joey. Joey lives about 4 blocks away and I thought they’d be okay.. there were 2 of them going over there, after all. Well, anyway, they got over there and the 3 of them were playing in Joey’s yard. Four other kids came over and one of them hit Joey in the head. Rhi got very upset and tried to make them stop, but they started chasing the 3 smaller kids. They chased them up the Railroad tracks, all the way to Justin’s house. (3 blocks from my house the other direction)

We had no idea where Rhi was, and Erin went to see if she was at Justin’s. She was. When she saw me outside she started to run towards me, crying and saying, “I missed you so much mommy!” then she told me what had happened. She was so scared she was still shaking and crying. How terrible to realize other children are even a threat to your children’s safety.
