You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Glue’s Back…it’s loud again.

20 August, 2006 /

Shaun and I shot a wedding last night. 1,289 pictures were taken and I think we will probably use 200 of them. I honestly do not understand how people shoot film.

Kara called as we were on our way home and she was about 3 hours away. She was trying to talk loud over the crying baby in the backseat and I was trying to talk quietly because I had lost my voice that morning and everytime I tried to talk normal I sounded like a cross between Peter Brady and Morgan Freeman.
She wanted to be hommmmmme. So at 1 am Shaun drove over to Ruka’s and got her. I guess a grand total of 17 hours in the car did her in and she was throwing up left and right.

At 13 it’s not very often that I find her at the side of my bed at 3am in tears wanting to sleep with her mommy. She crawled in bed and somehow I managed to sleep between a snoring Shaun and a flip flopping 13 year old who steals the covers. It was the worst and best night’s sleep i’ve had in a long time.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.
