“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

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

“Motherfuckin’ tittysuckin’ two-balled bitch!” -Agent Zoil – Paul

What you all have to look forward to…

15 August, 2005 /

For those mothers and fathers of young children still in diapers and car seats. For those of you that blog of cute stories of how your face is being clawed by sharp little fingernails from hands that haven’t quite gotten down the basic motor skills yet. For those of you that are weepy from the first day of school.

THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO!

You get to look forward to eitehr dropping off your daughter at her boyfriend’s house with 4 of her girlfriends. OR you get to come home to 5 giggling girls hanging out on your lawn because your boy has over night went from the dorky kid who ran around th house with a towel for a cape screaming “I AM SUPERMAN” to the actual Superman who is picking up chicks left and right.

I have to go cry now.

Then after I’m done crying I have to go drive all those kids to the pizza place then go pick up the 14 year old boy and his girlfriend so they can go to the pizza place with us.

I HAVE SO MANY KIDS I HAVE TO MAKE TWO TRIPS.
