I want to find that place 

the one where I belong

Where I am never left out

and never feel inferior

Where I can be who I truly am

and never wish to be someone else

I want to find that place

the one where every beautiful thing is

Where I am counted in

and always admired

Where I am known 

and desired to be around

I want to find that place

the one I need so much

Where my soul would be lifted

and a frown never found

Where happy thoughts blossom 

and creativity always flows

I want to find that place

that place I will know

another wednesday post

hello blog world. i find myself here on another lovely wednesday night. As I type, hubby is beside me in the bed reading & Doodle is in her pack & play lulling herself to sleep. (We are trying to establish some sort of self-soothing sleep patterns. Last night & tonight have went along pretty good.) We (doodle & I) are also trying to wean from the nipple guard too. So far, we've had a few good experiences with that. There's been a couple of good latch on's & even a few minutes of feeding without getting frustrated. I'm very happy & proud about that too. I really hope it is something we can accomplish. As far as breastfeeding in public, it keeps getting stranger. I've had another trip in Wal*Mart :D To top it off, this weekend while vacationing in Helen, GA I had to break out the milk factory, or piggy banks as my dad calls them, mind you I was walking around outside on a busy Saturday. :D I'm proud of myself.
Hubby & I have been having money issues lately. I'm not working & lately, neither is he. He has a job... but no work has been coming in. I know God will provide for us & I can't wait to see how he will make it all work, but it is hard having faith when everything looks so dim. We are really trying hard though. We probably shouldn't have went to Helen with everyone, but it was a group trip and it was planned a while back. We did get to spend an extra day in Cleveland with some friends of ours. That was wonderful. I miss Natalie & Duck so much and the little time we got to spend together really made my day.
As far as crafty things... nothing new to report. I'm thinking about adding some dyed bags to my Craft Show things to sell. I want to make something people will buy... hopefully that will be it.
Ok, off to bed now & to look up a book!

updates

i've been working on some things! :D i haven't any pictures as of yet, but I've just made up a few more cute lil coasters & some coffee cup sleeves. Simple, cute & fast. I don't have much time for crocheting... I can barely keep the clothes washed and house clean as it is. Doodle is still on a 2 hour on the dot feeding schedule & as much as I don't mind this keeps us from getting too engrossed in anything we do.
I have TOTALLY overcame my fear of breast feeding in public. This past weekend broke me of it when I left the house without a single bottle on our trip to Atlanta for some thrifting. I breastfed walking through a Goodwill in Sandy Springs & Riverdale. Also, in Griffin Wal-Mart. Just walking around with Doodle latched on. Even an elderly lady approached me in the frozen foods in Wal*Mart. She wanted to see Doodle, but didn't realize I was in the process of feeding her. It was silly & sweet and the little lady told me I was doing a good job, she couldn't even tell. I'm still surprised at how hard it's been to keep going. It seems like every single road block someone could encounter with breast feeding, I've experienced. Just a few weeks ago my supply dropped so fast and so bad it was miserable. I had to skip a whole day of feeding pretty much and do nothing but pump every 2 hours for 20 minutes. But we're back to normal now. I do love it & don't wish to stop anytime soon.
A big group of us got together earlier this week to try our hand at tie dying with acrylic paints. It was so much fun. Doodle now has 3 tie dye onesizes! I can't wait to get in one! I will have to document that.
Speaking of, my camera is sick. :( The screen is busted so you can't see what you are taking a picutre of.. and I Don't have a view finder so... when i take pics i just have to guess at it now. lol. OH well.
Well, lovelys.. it's a good night for me. sweet dreams
