Jessi & I
Also known as 1 of 52 since I decided I might do the "52 week photo challenge"
So last night Jessi was very, very tired. I was trying to put her to sleep and she just kept crying and crying. Finally I saw the camera on my night stand and pulled it out... All done crying!! She loves the camera and never misses a chance to have pictures taken and "see it".
Now, that doesn't mean I get good pictures of her. Lol! She's always too busy trying to "see it" to hold still!

A funny story in relation to my last post
On the diaper boards I am on, we were discussing the story of the woman who was asked to leave Dennys for BFing.
Here's the story... (This is a place where BFing laws are in place and totally on the side of the mother BFing, ANYWHERE public or private)
"Crystal Everitt says she was asked to leave Denny's on Patton Avenue Sunday because she was breastfeeding her child.
Denny's Regional Director Rick Pate tells News 13 complaints poured into management and some patrons left. He says a manager asked Everitt to cover herself or go somewhere more private.
When Everitt said her legal rights were being violated, the police were called. Everitt tells News 13 she was asked to leave the restaurant, or face trespassing charges.
She says society should not sexualize breasts -- especially when they're used for the practical purpose of caring for the young.The Asheville Police Department says their officer informed Denny's that indecency laws do not apply to breastfeeding mothers, but that they could charge Everitt with trespassing since Denny's is a private business that reserves the right to refuse service.
APD says the manager did not charge Everitt with trespass.
There is surveillance video of the incident, but Denny's is not releasing it to the public. Everitt says she and others are planning a demonstration against the Denny's chain. There's no word yet on when that will happen."
Now I tell you that story to tell you this one. Another lady posted this in the discussion:
"I was asked to nurse in the bathroom once and so I decided to ask the waiter if he would please bring a table, chair and my meal/drink into the bathroom for me so that I could continue to eat my dinner.
He was stunned and brought the manager to the table and asked me to repeat the request so that his manager could hear it.
I did and said said, "Ma'am, consuming food of any kind in this restaurant's bathroom is against our policy. We wouldn't allow a dog to eat in our bathroom".
As soon as he said those words he turned beet red and did a turnabout face right back into the kitchen.
Needless to say, our meals, drinks and the bonus deserts sent to our table that evening were FREE. "
HAHAHA!! I love it! :D

Very Annoyed... breastfeeding bill
I was really excited about this, it didn't have an enforcement provision, but it was pretty good. It got passed yesterday, and I am so ticked. I don't know when it will be up in the House.
They changed it from:
to this:
I'm sorry, but we're better off without a bill at all if they're going to do it that way!!
I know I'm not BFing anymore, but I might be again someday, and this just pushes the wrong buttons.
I even contacted all my people to ask them to pass this bill. (Before it was changed.)
Now I'm going to contact them again to let them know what I think ;)
They changed it from:
Right to breastfeed - Discriminatory practices.http://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/61-...t/JAGK0100.pdf
1. Except for the private home or residence of another, a woman may breastfeed her child in any location, public or private, where the woman and child are otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether the nipple of the woman's breast is uncovered during or incidental to the breastfeeding.
2. It is a discriminatory practice to deny or attempt to deny the full and equalenjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, andaccommodations of a place of public accommodation to a woman because thewoman is breastfeeding her child.
to this:
http://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/61-...s/JAGK0200.pdfRight to breastfeed. If the woman acts in a discreet and modest Manner, a woman may breastfeed her child in any location, public or private, where the woman and child are otherwise authorized to be.
I'm sorry, but we're better off without a bill at all if they're going to do it that way!!

Happy Anniversary to us!!
Happy 4th anniversary to the sweetest guy I know. He's the love of my life and my best friend.
Sometimes things in life are tough, but I wouldn't want to go through it with anybody else.

Happy Birthday Mr. Trey!!
Happy 2nd birthday to my adorable Nephew, Trey.
(Trey & Jessi are 3 weeks apart)
I'm sad that we don't have any newer pictures of these 2 together. I guess we were all too busy the last time we were all together.

Want a hadmade gift?
It's your lucky day!!!
Lucky you! The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice, for you.
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It'll be done this year. (might be a little while)
4- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be something for your scrapbook, or something I sew. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. (If you don't want to do this, you don't have to... I just want to make some stuff! Lol!) The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!.
So....who will be the first 5 people?????

I want one!
http://www.theslanket.com/
I want one of these! Lol!
We're always using blankets around the house to stay cozy. As lazy as it sounds, it's a pain to try to hold your blanket in place while you drink/read/eat or have to get out of it to go get something.
They're cheaper Here
Can't you see yourself on that couch with a cup of hot chocolate / coffee and a book?

Jessi was in a kissy mood last night ;)
Mom made her this adorable little dress, along with another top and some brown pants to go with them for Jessi's birthday... We've gotten so many compliments on them!
Thanks "Grammy!"
