Your body does it for you then. Once you've passed transition your body works for you and you'll drop into a squat without even thinking about it. I've had an unmedicated vaginal birth and after awhile you just do it.

I think our lunches are a lot better than this- I know they have a salad bar.

...and my 1st graders longs for the day I let her have hot lunch. Gross.

I really want to pet your dog.

Seriously! Sometimes I'm the best and worst mom IN ONE DAY. In 18+ years of constant parenting I think all parents are bound to slide around on the best/ worst spectrum a bit.

I want that Katniss grey sweater/ shawl/ whatever that is! I really don't even care about anything else.

Loungewear is flannel pj pants or yoga pants, a shirt I've had since Britney and Justin were pretending to be virgins, and socks that usually don't match.

Also, California knows how to party. So there.

My daughter would be squealing with delight if we saw a pink (or purple) truck.

I loved the shit out of it, too! They handled the PTSD so well that I cried. I think that scene with the birds describes how it feels so much better than I ever have with words.

Call your therapist and get help lovely. Recognizing the signs of disordered thinking is something to be proud of, and the sooner you tackle it the better. Wishing you luck.

It can be a lot of work but it is SO FUN. I have 1st and 2nd graders and I expect to lead the troop forever and ever until they're tired of it. Even with girls this young, we've had brilliant talks about body image, gender injustice, social injustice, community service, etc. I know the San Mateo area councils in…

I am in the Bay Area! That sounds fun! Our GS council is matching troops up with local foster kids. I get our troops' kids' wish lists next week :)

I want a Katniss doll for myself. Then when I have to play babies with my daughter for hours on end, I can be a badass.

Last year my awesome MIL came to visit for the holidays and we started a new tradition. Since we all love to thrift shop ( and SF has a bajillionity great ones) we have thrifting outings together and pick out presents for each other. No new stuff, only thrifted is the rule. Then we spend the rest of the week she's…

That's what I came here to say! Also, high waisted skirts and pants are the joy of life. I'm never going back to low rose muffin top hell.

You did what you hoped would keep you safer. I've been in those shoes and felt that shame. You didn't deserve it, you didn't make it okay by trying to cope in the moment, and you are awesome. Hugs.

Gah! My eyes are springing leaks again!

Yeah I'd fuck him as long as he never spoke.
