I finally got word my part time status has been approved and I'll be starting my new groovy hours in about a month.
No longer will I be getting up at 5:30a to drag myself to sit in my cube all day. I'll be getting up around that same hour to get to the gym. No longer will I feel trapped all day. I'll be working 9am to 1pm. No longer will I have to hire someone full time to raise my child. I'll be able to do more of that. No longer will the projects I want to do, pile up around the house. I'll have some time each day to do a little something. No longer will the scales feel so imbalanced between work and home.
I'm excited about the possibilities.

The Sell Out
This Is Me
- Big Girl
- I think of myself as though I'm a pretty typical hipster kinda gal. I feel like I'm younger than I am and I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up. For now, I'm working part-time "for the man," but more importantly, I'm a mom to a daughter, The Little Miss (TLM) and a wife to The Husband. We live in an area of the country where being anything bigger than a size 6 is considered unacceptably large and in a town where movie stars live. I've always been the Big Girl. Growing up it was because I was taller and "big boned." Now I'm the Big Girl because I'm fat. At one time I loved being the Big Girl but now, not so much. This blog is my way trying to be a part of a community that can help each other through our struggles to be who we really are. For me, it's still being a Big Girl just not of the fat variety.
