I am just tired.
I am exhausted of feeling like everyone is just walking all over me.
I am tired of always trying to help others out, but when I need help no one is available.
I am tired of being told that chores take precedence to meeting me for coffee, or that you have to wait and see what may come up for a certain day before you commit to me.
And yes I know, people are busy. Um hello...so am I!
And yes I know, things could be worse. I realize that and remind myself of that every day.
I am not perfect. I don't claim to be. In fact I am far from it. I struggle every day with how I feel, should feel, or shouldn't feel. I try not to let the little things get to me.
But you know, there comes a time where you just want to go "You all can just go suck it!"

Size 12 is not Fat!
So I was driving to Shelby's ortho appointment this afternoon and drove by a plus size store. No big deal right? People come in all shapes and sizes and having a variety of places to shop from is great. However...I did a bit of a double take when I saw the sign that said "Sizes from 12 + and up".
What the !?!?! Since when was a size 12 a plus size? And honestly, why must we refer to sizes as "plus" sizes? If we do that then I think small sizes should be referred to as "negative" sizes.
I guess what bugs me is that in our minds (or at least mine) plus=large and I don't feel large. Oh I know I could afford to lose some (okay maybe more than some!) weight but I don't feel large. Maybe I just luck out and my "plus" areas can easily be concealed under tummy tucking jeans, but I look in the mirror and I don't think I look all that bad. Oh sure....there is a little extra of me to love but that just makes me cuddly and approachable right?
What I love is that my daughter goes "Mommy you aren't fat. That is just left over from having me" Oh I have trained my daughter well! It's my badge of honor, my war wound for being a mommy and having had the privilege of providing life to such a beautiful little girl.
You know...size 12 is just a womanly size! It just means I am curvy and curvy is sexy right? Here is to all the sexy and beautiful size 12 + and beyond!
