My morning ego boost

2-year-old as she points at a huge, inflamed bump on my chin: What’s that?

Me: A zit.

2-year-old: It’s not pretty.

    How very honest of you this morning! And don’t we just love all those little things that most people ignore but our children make glaringly obvious!

    Ha ha ha ha! I needed the ego boost of knowing I’m not alone. Thank you, hee hee. And, yes, my son will take the time ever so courteously to point them out to me as well. Then again, he also tells me all the time how much he loves me, so I guess we have to take the bad with the good, right? :)

    My skin has been ok for a couple of weeks and then decided to freak out yesterday for Easter. I’m laughing because Andrew and my mom said “You can’t even see them” but the girls asked what was on my face! :)

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.
