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

HOLY SHIT!

5 March, 2008 /

I went to the doctor today.

They weighed me. I KNEW I hadn’t lost any weight since my last visit, but HOLY SHIT! I had GAINED!

The electronic weigher stopped at 199.7 !!! I wasn’t that heavy DURING MY PREGNANCIES!

It’s a good thing I went in there to help me control some of this stuff.

199.7 POUNDS. POUNDS. *cough* POUNDS!

Yes, I just shared my weight with you all. If you hadn’t figured out that I am an open book by now–you haven’t been paying attention.

So, guess what journey you’re all on with me now?
