For some time now something has been nagging at me....DO SOMETHING! But what and how? I keep complaining about how things aren't going the way I intend. I've been feeling useless and cant figure it out. I do the same thing everyday, day in and day out. I love the kids but I need something for ME. Something that will make them proud of me. I hate not making money right now.....HATE IT! Did I say HATE IT??
I need to do something for others so that something good will come to me! DUH!! I'm done complaining about all the bad stuff going on and do something. Easier said than done....for me anyway. Somehow over the past 10 years I lost my social skills and independence. Time to get it back so I stop wasting life!
Plan of Action:
March of Dimes: March for Babies - join my walking team and help donate money to help babies born prematurely and or with birth defects. I know Carly was only 3wks early and her complications were less than most premie babie, but complications are complications and to go through what we went through was HORRIBLE. I feel the urge and need to help this organization.
Breast Cancer: I plan to join for the next 3day walk. I have had family members affected by Breast Cancer and I used to walk and donate with my previous employer and it made me feel like I was doing something real.
Business/Pleasure/Good Deeds...it is possible!: I am coming up with tons of ideas on this one. Without too much detail I will make baby and toddler items and offer the chance for people to donate to charities of choice or as determined by myself. For example, crochet baby beanies.....by 3 donate 1 to NICU ward at hospitals all over. I noticed while Carly was in NICU that most dont get to wear cute little onesies cause of all the wires and tubes...but beanies are very essential to keep baby warm. The beanies provided, however, are your generic blue and pink striped ones. Some babies stay in NICU for long periods of time and parents NEED to make their baby their own and NEED to do those simple things like dress up. I know I said I wouldnt go into too much detail..but Im really excited! Does anyone want to teach me to crochet?? I also think this will be theraputic for me...I dont like to read :)
I am open to other ideas and if you'd like to help in any way I welcome with open arms! I am not giving up on Cr8tive Kidz Daycare......although I will need to find a night job until that business picks up again. Wish me luck!
