30-stone mother admits to feeding triplets junk food… and to giving them their first McDonald’s at just SIX MONTHS

…”The babies each consume around 1,249 calories a day, nearly double the recommended 765 for their 17lb weight at the age of eight months…”

Anyway, they don’t always have junk food – sometimes I cook a microwave meal for them. My babies are healthy.’

Her own mother says she buys in salads, but as she has to go out for work as a carer and is the only one in the house who cooks, they never get eaten.

However Miss Salt – who herself consumes 50 per cent more calories than a woman’s recommended daily diet, snacking on cakes, crisps and chocolate – is convinced, bizarrely, that watching what you eat could lead to anorexia.

‘I do worry my kids could get picked on if they get fat, but I’d tell them that big is beautiful.’

And she now wants her own council house: ‘I know how to microwave a meal and make up instant mash, so I think we’d all manage.’

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I made the mistake of watching Requiem for a Dream for the first time in years… I pulled up the movie on imdb and saw this

“The movie as a whole is very intense and frightening and could disturb some viewers. ”

really?

ahh, i’ve missed this! It’s been ages since I’ve gotten to stay up all night just for the hell of it.

No papers, no worrying about waking up early. It’s a bad situation but there’s some silver lining…I’ve already done my fair share of driving for the night and now I’m just sitting down, still listening to a few new artists, sipping coffee and listening to the birds with the door open

New artists I’ve started listening to
1.) Gui Boratto
2.) Royksopp
3.) Fever Ray

and the new Animal Collective is awesome

With everything going on right now–I should be upset. I just lost my job, I’m not sure what I’m doing for school…amongst a myriad of other minute details. I’m not. If anything, I’m finally glad it’s over. The sword of damocles has fallen if you will.

and now I get to begin again.

Tonight, is the happiest I’ve been in ages…A light rain falls, the winds provide just enough lift to put a spring in ones step. New music helps. My friend Mark is a DJ who spins breaks. He’s slowly getting me into the electronic scene.  I’ve been listening to this Gui Boratto album on repeat tonight…little light house music that goes well with the incense I have burning. The combination evokes optimism and movement within.

Whatever happens, I’ll be ready for it.

The other shoe drops…

Friday, April 17th, 2009

So, the other shoe finally dropped. I was called back into the office and let go today. It was all very professional. Business not personal…

Now it’s time to start rebuilding…Try to figure out something to new

Might go down to the lake sometime this weekend

Surely we will disappear

Climb a tree. Cross a meadow. Dive deep beneath the waves. Dig these hills that know no bounds. Mud on your shoes buried deep into the carpet.  Fret, revert or amble on into the new. Boots on, chin up, roll down a hill just to do it again…Purple, red, orange–the sun sets the stage and is where I want to be.

Dreaming is well and good but the dream will never be a reality without careful planning and work. Instead of running off and exploring only to be doomed later…I’d rather sacrifice it to get a good job that gives me time off to travel and explore. I’m tired of going to work with the sword of Damocles hanging over my head. Fire me or let me know I have a job. They have until the 18th.

I woke up this morning feeling oddly refreshed. Optimistic, Motivated…Even happy.

A new beginning.
