Now Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Programming…

I’m back to mom blog business as usual where I annoy you with sharing the silly things my kids do or say. Today I’m even featuring samples of my child’s excellent homeschool education.

The Star Wars obsession is not letting up. Not at all as made evident by the doodles around Madeline’s spelling work.

It’s not easy to make out, but that’s a grinning Jabba the Hutt.

    I think the chained Princess Leia makes that clear!

    It is truly excellent homeschool work! Super fantastic artwork and love the Leia. We have major doodlers in our house – that’s how I ended up with all these artists. Spelling really needs something to jazz it up, and what’s better than Jabba? A++

    “I am still afraid I’ve made the wrong decision, or acquiesced to the wrong decision, but what I’m really afraid of stems from an inflated ego. All my life I’ve tried to be perfect (or at least I’ve hoped to appear perfect to others) while stumbling miserably along. In my pre-mom days, it was my body or my grades or how I “performed” as a daughter that I threw myself into, but since becoming a mom I can get a little obsessive compulsive about being the perfect mom even though I know there’s no such thing here in this broken world”.

    That is what I struggle with too! Ph thanks for putting into words Kate

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
