Boundaries…

…or lack thereof

3-year-old, after barging into the bathroom: Mommy, are you pooping?

Me: No.

3-year-old: Just peeing?

Me: Yes.

3-year-old: Okay. No privacy.

Me: No privacy?

3-year-old: No privacy then. Sorry.

    Well, at least you got an apology. I think you can pat yourself on the back for that, Mom. <3

    The two quickest ways to get the attention of my children are to either go in the bathroom and close the door, or get on the phone.

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.
