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

Why I shouldn’t be allowed to listen to music

20 March, 2008 /

Jeremiah is a music lover. His favorite this week is “Highway to Hell” because of the drumming in the beginning. He waits for it, He waits for it, He waits for it…DRUMS!! and then we start it over again. I may have worn out the first 25 seconds of that song.

As he was snoozing in the back, I went to pick up the girls. Kid Rock was the song choice for this trip. I think I may have scared all the PTA moms. Oh the glares. I guess I could have turned it down, but whatever. If they didn’t like it, I could switch it over to Gin and Juice.

When I dropped of ‘Cita’s daughter the washer repair guy told ‘Cita, “Your sister is in the driveway, rocking out.”

At some point I am going to start embarrassing myself.
