Ca88andra-

my college Cross Country coach used to say it when referring to that feeling of your butt dragging - of course he also said that big girls were "burgers"... he was odd. BTW -I agree wholeheartedly about people needing education to not eat like poo their whole lives. I like junk food now and then, but moderation is key!

Where on earth did you hear the term 'tank ass'? I haven't heard it for a very long time.

I personally have never heard the term "tank ass"....but I guess it could be used....it seems a particularly befitting term to apply to myself at the moment!! Fat Woman 5.

I'm glad Taylor enjoys eating! My kids eat like little sparrows! My Taylor is small and skinny...we are hoping he has some sort of growth spurt before he turns 15....but as he sleeps approx. 3 hours a night and lives off air I think we'll just have to be glad he doesn't play rugby (a very rough game like gridiron sort of but without all the protective padding....my 2nd son plays it....help?!!) 

One reason I enjoy Hubby not being home is that I can actually make the foods that the kids DO enjoy and eat without having to feel like the maitre d' of a restaurant....taking multiple orders...as well as the chef, waitress and busboy. I always wanted one of those children who eat everything! Mind you  our grocery bill is quite cheap!

Taylor stopped
getting juice because his pediatrician was concerned he may get chubby. hehehe, evidently the juice was not the culprit...

Rachel has stopped eating all together...
she will drink juice and milk, but shuns food - especially if it's on a plate. Unless i'm eating it - then we wiggles onto my lap and scarfs down half my lunch.
