Napping takes priority my friend when you're up in the middle of the night nursing your child. <BR/><BR/>And I've commented over at Mrs. Chicky about a post she wrote about Bill Maher, I don't understand why the big hoopla about nursing. Coming from Viet Nam where the only source of nutrients you'll get as a babe is from your mom's breast, it's survival.

I'm not here to plug myself, but my latest post at springinglight.com talks about this.<BR/><BR/>For me, it's writing about them that brings clarity to things, especially the painful ones. The fact that you can't write about this thing and this other thing must be horribly stifling. I hope you have some other outlets, and I hope more still that the clarity and resolution you seek is at hand.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303799102284806242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-22463844903814975432007-09-21T12:32:00.000-04:002007-09-21T12:32:00.000-04:00Bossy thinks Funks allow change.Bossy thinks Funks allow change.BOSSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137297805742498961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-47348113630621339162007-09-21T12:22:00.000-04:002007-09-21T12:22:00.000-04:00it's hard to write when what you really NEED to wr...it's hard to write when what you really NEED to write about is anathema. Same with talking for me. If there's an 'off limits' topic I have a hard time communicating at all because all I want/need to talk about is not allowed. Major button for my from my childhood/family.<BR/><BR/>In the end all I can do is journal, the old fashioned way. I have lots of journals, poems, etc. from the years, but the funny thing is they're mostly from the really crappy times, the times I NEEDED to let those frustrations and feelings out somehow and since I couldn't talk about it with the folks who needed to hear it, I wrote it.<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping you can get it out somehow. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I'm sooo ok with just having photos of WB to look at you know. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-38124184939446244862007-09-21T11:44:00.000-04:002007-09-21T11:44:00.000-04:00Just saw Janet tlking 'bout my boobs, thanks for c...Just saw Janet tlking 'bout my boobs, thanks for coming and checking them out ;)<BR/><BR/>Hope things are looking up today.
