It never ceases to amaze me the difference in language between speaking about a fat child and a fat baby. One of my jobs is at a pet store right now (and I'll leave the hype around obesity in pets for another day) and the other job is at a well known…

Thoughtful Thursday: Poem
Holding my breath
Paused-waiting
for the car door to slam
the front door to creak
the excited rush of dogs as they greet you
your footsteps on the stairs
the weight of your body on the bed
next to mine
Warmth of your arms
strength of your …
Raise the Wage
Let's get a few things out of the way; I'm 29, mom of two, university educated, (I have a BA and an additional certificate) and am working for barely above minimum wage roughly 40 hours a week at two part-time jobs. I've worked part time most of my l…

My Little Beauty
As previously mentioned, I have very little of what people would call 'style'. I'm very much a jeans and tee shirts person. The number of pairs of shoes I own is in the low single digits. I've had the same small bag of cosmetics for a decade, and w…
Round Like Mom
It's been six years now since I got into fat acceptance and health at every size. Hard to believe but it's the truth. When I got into this my son was only a year and a half; now he's a giant seven year old and, while sometimes he still thinks out lo…
Weekday Routines
Please don't hate me when I say this, but I love Mondays. Monday mornings I sometimes get to sleep in as Leslie will get Gabe out to the door to school. After I get up, it's an hour or two of Star Trek reruns (NG and Voyager) with Katherine, breakfas…
Promises and Wishes
At Solstice two weeks ago we did a toast, a boast and a promise over a bowl of flaming Yule punch. It was GREAT, especially since Gabe joined us for the ritual. My toast was to my inlaws, my Sabbat Sisters, all the warriors great and small, and to my…
