Speaking of the Hurricane...
I would like to keep everyone there in my thoughts. The radio keeps playing a sound bite of an elderly man, he sounds black, talking about trying to save his wife, and her telling him he can't keep holding on to her, but he needs to take care of their children and grandchildren. He then says he is just lost. He has nothing. Even the reporter was crying.
I am freaked about a boy and something that happened 5 years ago, and really, in the grand scheme...
You guys are reaching out to me, and I need it and appreciate it, but these people need your thoughts and prayers even more at this moment.

I know what you mean. I find myself worrying about my job or stressing about the wedding, and then think about how totally rocked these peoples worlds are - they don't have a job for the foreseeable future, those who were making wedding plans - well those are screwed up. They might not know where their loved ones are, if they are dead or alive, and may not know for some time now. I cannot imagine it! So I need to suck it up and realize how good I really have it.
But for the record, what happened five years ago was in not way minor or inconseqential, so don't downplay that, even in the face of tragedy.
Now, what we have for centerpieces --- THAT is minor and inconsequential!

Ah Pegs, I feel the love!
I know what you mean, Beth.
Last night my oldest daughter was complaining about something and hubby was down because he had a hard day at work.
And at the same time the news was on and I just about lost it...I go 'look at those poor people...you think you have problems...what about them?" They both looked at me like I was crazy but both knew it was the truth.
Later, Jessie said to me 'mom, can we pledge to those people'?

Peggles, I am also in a much better, more loving mood today here, too...OBVIOUSLY! :)
Marie, you raised your girls right! Seriously.
Linae--regardless of how shallow it is, I can't wait to see the wedding pics! :)
