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

Chelsea putting hair is side ponytale to be a dork

The summer is wearing on me. I’ve been trying to hang in there and be a trooper. For the most part I think I am doing alright. I’ve been to the pool about 20 times and I haven’t drown a single one yet. That’s good right?

Kara had a ‘hanging out’ date yesterday. The kid seemed nice enough. I’m not ready for this whole ‘hanging out’ stuff. The speed at which this child is growing up is freaking me out. My friend ‘Cita has a picture of Kara and her son graduating from preschool. That was yesterday. Now she’s 12 and going on ‘hanging out dates’. What happened to cooties?
