It has taken me nearly four years to stop finishing my son’s meals. Disgusting. Weird. Blech. What was I thinking, eating his leftovers? And I just threw away the last of the Halloween candy. He doesn’t need it and neither do I.

I went to my favorite consignment store and came away with nothing today. Well, that’s not actually true. While no one gave me a swift kick in the rear, I caught a good look at mine in the full length mirror today and boy howdy, am I looking middle-aged from the ribcage down.
