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

Easier Said Than Done

24 April, 2007 /

I’m watching the Today show and they are talking about ‘how moms can do it all’ and ‘how to stay balanced’.

This woman, who CLEARLY isn’t a parent, is talking about how to incorporate your children into the things that make you relax.

Do you see the oxymoron in that sentence?

She’s spewing this hateful drivel at me and I am about to throw my remote at the television.

:::INCORPORATE MY CHILDREN INTO THE THINGS THAT MAKE ME RELAX:::

There is NO way I am going to drive my kids to the casino so they can watch me pop a Xanax, swear and spend money, all the while smoking like a house on fire.

Oh hell no. I am a better parent than that! Shesh.
