Mermaids and the Politics of Representation
July 8, 2019
- I will not allow myself to be guilted into joining new volunteer committees, no matter how good the cause.
- I will only attend kid birthday parties that have open bars.
- I will preserve my sleep and sanity and kick my kids out of my bed.
- I will take that girls’ trip I’ve been talking about for the last [insert years].
- I will get rid of any clothes that I bought before I had kids because I will never fit into them again.
- I will accept that, while vegetable adjacent, CostCo spinach and artichoke dip is not a legitimate vegetable.
- I will binge watch more TV.
- I will do regular self-care and not feel bad about spending the money.
- I will vote in 2020 because I am sick of the insanity.
- I will eat carbs in moderation (laughs hysterically).
