maybe i should be on meds after all
after i dropped justin off at the airport, i strongly considered going to michael's and seeing if they had any straw hats for hans's box. i think they have a whole doll-making section, with lots of accessories, so it seemed like a good place to look. the sky was just so beautiful, and i was going to dig in my yard, and i wanted hans to have something appropriate for hanging out in the yard, too. the only reason i didn't do go into michael's was that i didn't have the energy to make up a lie when the cashier asked me about the doll i was making. although, you have to admit, it would have been hysterical to see her response if i had told her it was for my dead son's box of ashes. okay, you don't have to admit it.
do they make dolls' flip-flops?

Well last time I was at Michael's, I borderline threw a fit because they didn't have anything appropriate for a dead baby's scrapbook. Poor cashier had NO warning either! I felt bad for her, but at the same time I am sick of feeling bad for OTHER people when I am the one living without my son! Anyway, some days I don't mention why I am buying pinwheels or little stuffed animals, and other times I let people know. Just depends on how ready I am to respond to the questions that always come up afterwards.
And if nothing else, check out Build A Bear (if you don't have one check online) and you should at least be able to get flip flops for the bears. They MIGHT work.
Completely understandable, if you ask me. Like Julie, I was frustrated at the dead baby selection of scrapbooks. Unfortunately, we are forced to "settle" for what works. If a doll straw hat works, I say use it.
thank you both soooo much for helping me feel normal! (or at least not alone)
((((((((Laura)))))))) That's what we are here for! I remember how nice it was to have someone tell me they were feeling or had felt the same way. I had a friend that would tell me on a daily basis that I wasn't crazy. She always knew just when I needed it. She had been there and she "got it". You definately aren't alone.
