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

When Kara was 10 she had odomtoma.

(i’ve tried blogging this 5 different times and there is NO way to make Odomtoma funny so I’m going to give you the short version)

Front tooth falls out. No tooth comes in to replace it. X-ray. LOOK, it’s a mass of small teeth not allowing tooth to come down. Remove mass. Wait for tooth to come down. LOSE DENTAL INSURANCE. Sixth grade now. NO FRONT TOOTH.

It’s been almost three years and I took her yesterday because we are 3 weeks away from having dental insurance.

She needs braces. Yeah, kinda figured that out when her eye tooth started taking the place of her front tooth.

Good news: Once the braces start making room, her tooth WILL come in.

Bad news: “Hey,Brace Face!”

Yeah, I’m already gearing her up for the teasing by making fun of her already.

She should be happy that she’s getting braces.

I won’t be able to call her Shrek anymore.
