Not just another Sk*rt

I missed out on the What's Under Your sk*rt Contest but I thought I'd give it a shot anywho. So...

What's under my sk*rt?

You really want to know? Life, that's what. I'm not just talking about the time I jumped out of a car - which I do have scars from- or the fact that my addiction to chocolate is evidenced by the shear size of my general butt region.

When I ponder what outsiders would think of my sk*rt areas... The truth is I realize I just don't care. Sure, I survived an unexpected collision with graveled terrain, but most people wouldn't be able to find the marks that have long been camouflaged by the battle scars of expanding myself through mass quantities of carbs ,and well- pregnancy.

Though it's terrain may include the barely healed pot holes of the 2 lumps removed from my right leg, it also contains the battle scars motherhood. I wasn't blessed with the "no cellulite" gene, or the ability to remain stretch mark free.

What you will find under my sk*rt are the marks of labor and love. You'll find a scar low on my belly that bore 3 children into this world, 2 in life and one who was not meant to be.

You'll see paths my body traveled- in joy and in pain, through the marks mapped out on my thighs and belly.

You'll see from my battle scars that I lived to jump another day. :D

That's life. And for the most part... I wouldn't change a thing.

I recently joined sk*rt and I'm still trying to learn my way through it. It's a pretty cool site. They're always having givaways!

You have enough scars for several people. I always thought I had a bad childhood, but compared to you, I'm like Paris Hilton (pre-jail).

That's a pretty cool post. Too bad you didn't get it in time for the contest. I'd try to vote for you. I'd probably fail because I'm not signed up and I'd get quickly frustrated. But I'd try!

I haven't taken the time to check it out yet, but it does seem like the "the next best thing" that everyone is talking about.

I'll have to keep up on the new stuff through you! ;) The good news about battle scars is the memories, lessons and often even blessings that find their way through them. It's the concept of silver linings brought to life. ;)

Hugs,
Holly
