I Know My Place

When at the end of the day, after having spent 8 grueling hours at the office and 3 hours of constant crying from one or the other kid, you tell me that I should have made something better for dinner That office work is not going to put taste in my cooking and I should focus more on my kids’ homework rather than that file my boss wants me to edit That the house looks dirty today because I forgot…

Plastic

Chin up, shoulders out. Back straight, perfect gait. Hands on hips, red and full lips. Eyebrows plucked, limbs waxed. Skin scrubbed, hair pinned. Tight clothes, looks relaxed.

My mom just took my dog to the vet She(my dog) was(still is?) having a seizure

Last month we took my dog to the vet and they told us she had developed diabetes, they told us it was caused by the food she was eating, purina beneful. They told us that there have been many many many reports of Beneful has been causing diabetes, seizures, and even death in dogs.

We had no idea

Today at 11:20 my mom woke me up crying, I helped her carry my dog to the car (while she was still having a seizure) and watched her drive away red faced and still crying.

Please please PLEASE if you are feeding your pets Purina beneful PLEASE switch their food ASAP Beneful is poising dogs and I don’t want anyone else to experience what I just did Also if you could please help me signal boost this so everyone can know

At the most basic, grass root level of our existence, I saw India walk today. Clutching hands with it’s oft forgotten past, reminding me that I haven’t seen it all, not really, not yet. I watched as…
