“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

28 December, 2004 /

I’m home all week while the girls are on Christmas vacation. It has given me a lot of time with the girls.

Things I have found out while being home ALL day long.

they argue. ALL THE TIME.
Shea is a troublemaker.
kara talks REALLY loud.
they can play with Polly Pockets for hours.
cartoons are not as cool as they use to be.
kids eat every 30 minutes.
when it is time to clean up: shea’s foot hurts, kara has to pee, and alyx has a tummy ache.

I swear when the DayQuil kicks in, this house is going to be clean. Foot, pee and tummy, BE DAMNED!
