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

Treasure Hunt

22 May, 2005 /

So this Thursday we rented a limo for Kara and Marina for a scavenger/treasure hunt.

Now don’t be thinking we are all rich and spoil the hell out of our children. The ex rented the limo because we have talked about doing this for Kara for years because her DREAM is to ride in a limo.
I also SUCK at birthday parties. I really can’t pull it together long enough to plan the things and she really hasn’t had a birthday party in several years. I’m hoping that someday when they are taking about the cool birthday parties they have had, Kara can say, “Yeah, well I didn’t get birthday parties that often…but mom kicked ass at surprises and slumber parties!”

Each girl got to invite 4 people. The limo will pick up the girls at the end of the day AT SCHOOL…AND THEY ROLL OUT A RED CARPET! Each girl will get a red rose too.

Now I have the first part of the ‘treasure hunt’ planned out, but like I said…I kinda suck at these kind of things.

Any ideas?
