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

3 October, 2005 /

I have a doctor appointment next week. I made it with the OB/GYN that delivered my three girls. Having someone new poke around there wasn’t something I was ready for, so I just made the appointment with him…without insurance. (insert cash register sound here)

To say I’m scared is an understatement.

You know how when you go to the dentist and you KNOW you’re going to get in trouble for waiting so long to go and the dentist asks you the question, “You been flossing?” and you lie and say yes?

or

When you take your car in because it has gone from ‘running funny’ to ‘making a really loud knocking sound’ and the mechanic looks and you and says, “If you would have brought this in about 2 months ago I would have just replaced this part, but now you need a whole overhaul.” ?

Yeah, well I have a feeling when they get under my hood they are NOT going to be too happy with me.

I should have just went in when I had gone from running funny to making that knocking sound.

I’m pretty sure they might need to replace my whole transmission.
