I did it, 30 days of straight posting. It wasn't easy either. You know all those down days where I was whining about my knee? Yeah, normally I would have just kept the inner thoughts of BBM off the blog. But it was either whine about my knee or discuss the consistency of pasta on some of those days.

My daughter came home from school today with a mark on her leg from where another child had kicked her. Through sweatpants, there was a little brush burn on her shin.

When I was in junior high, I was coming through a crowded area after lunch when I felt a hard punch square in the middle of my back. It was too crowded to move as we all pushed through the door; but I didn't have to take more than a brief glance to know exactly who had done it. "Gina" followed me down the hall with her posse of fight starters and mumbled comments under her breath at me.
