I remember for weeks afterwards waking up in the middle of the night thinking about the victims and their family members. I was working at a day care center at the time and the kids would always point out the planes that flew by. Then there were no planes - only quiet. It was a terribly sad time for me to be working with kids. Wondering about their future and how crazy the world had become. I will also remember it as the day we all became NEW YORKERS.
I was at home that day. When I turned on the TV and saw pictures of the first plane going into the tower my first thought was the pilot must have had a heart attack. But then, when there was a second plane I remember feeling sick because it was obvious we were being attacked. No matter how you feel about 911, I hope you will remember the victims who were just ordinary people like us. Please say a little prayer for the families. I'm sure they are still deeply hurting and need prayers for strength to go on without their loved one.
Dear Carla: Don't back down now. There are still a handful of us out there who believe that once you have children, they come first! Women who do what is right for their family whether it's going out to get a job, deciding to be a stay-at-home Mom (the hardest job EVER) or a combination of both. I feel this woman has too much on her plate for this VP job. But as you stated - Good luck Sarah! I have been around MANY super-moms and eventually something always has to be subtracted from their busy schedule.
Yea, "L" for LOVE CUE the Doves!!! No matter who wins I believe we will have a much better President than the current one so in a sense we ALL win. Peace, Love and Happiness to all
Dear Evil: No ,I'm saying every woman (or man) has to evaluate their own personal situation before taking on the 2nd most important and stressful job in the world. I am a working woman with kids. I know the stress believe me.
Maybe she's on Red Bull and Mt. Dew! I loved the way they cleaned up the boyfriend of the knocked up daughter. All of the sudden he can't wait to get married and have kids. Do I smell a Republican "sponsored" scholarship to a college of his choice? He sure looked mighty uncomfortable at the convention. Maybe Grandma-to-be got out her huntin' rifle.
Concerning Family Values, something Republicans are proud to say they invented: Mrs. Palin has a special needs baby, a daughter who will soon need her help, the stress of having a son in the military when there is a war going on. Oh yea and some other kids who need their mommy too. Wouldn't you think a woman or man with that many responsibilities would say, "You know what ,I treasure my family so much I don't think this is the right time to serve my country in such a large capacity. Why, I might even have to be president if I need to step in at a moment's notice. So I think I'll pass for now and remember the basic backbone of FAMILY VALUES - "FAMILY FIRST." Just a thought. Or if she does become VP there is always Prozac and great nannies to help her along the way. So, whatever happens GOOD LUCK SARAH You win Super Mom of all Super Moms. Here's your crown - wear it proudly.
McCain - Obama ????? I'm just glad I won't have to look at George Bush's beady- eyed ugly face after January. Right now I feel ANYBODY would be an improvement. That man has been an embarrassment from DAY ONE. Farewell George - go back to Texas where you belong.
