You Know You’re an Old Married Fart with Little Kids and a Husband on Call When…

You read in bed alone until 11 PM and then decide ringing in the New Year really isn’t worth staying up another hour and you turn out the lights and fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.

(Yes, I’m back in Blogville after a lovely, little hiatus.)

    Hey I was an Old Married Fart with two little kids and husband on call last night who didn’t make it to midnight either! Too Funny!

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
