We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

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

Dear God, NOT SUMMER YET!

31 May, 2005 /

“The Boys are back in Town”
I keep having this song run through my head because the neighbor boy who lives in a different state is here for the summer and when he’s in town EVERY 10-15 year old is in the court I live in and they are at SOMEONE’S house…playing video games, swimming or eating everything they can find!

My friend, Lisa was eaten out of house and home last summer. She use to have padding under her carpet, but after having all those kids sleep over all summer it has been worn down to just the fiber.

They came swarming in last night. I wasn’t ready for it either. I was like a cat that was being rushed by a really big dog.
I jumped up in my computer chair and started hissing.

“What? What? What’s going on?”
“Nuthin’ just going to play video games.” the boy said as he was followed by more boys and girls following the boys.

IT’S SUMMER ALREADY? Noooo!
