This evening I went to Stanley Park with my little sister for the big brothers/big sisters wiener roast. Boy, did we ever have a fun time. We had hot dogs and marshmallows. We also played capture the flag after. I really enjoyed this evening not just because of the food and games, but also because I really felt that me and my little sister were connecting and she was being more talkitive. It helped me to feel that I am making a difference in her life and she does actually enjoy hanging out with me. It was real encouaging to see her out there laughing and having fun. I think the big brother big sister program is a really neat program and often I think I overlook how hard being a single parent is. This evening I got to meet some of the parents too and wow I'm sure glad I'm not a single mother let alone a mother. Parenthood is a big scary thing for me- not yet for a long time. I enjoy spending time with children and if there is any one else out there who does to I would encourage you to consider big brothers big sisters. They always need more volunteers. So yeah that was my evening. Later dudes.
