Eight years ago my childhood skyline changed. Eight years ago the safety you once felt at living in the USA changed. Eight years ago we sat with our eyes glued to the nearest TV with tears in our eyes feeling utterly hopeless. Eight years ago the skies were suddenly quiet and not a plane was seen in the sky. Eight years ago our world changed.

Yup still here…I know I’ve been lacking in the updates lately. I feel like my head is going to explode some days. Seems like it’s always one thing after another. Let me say without a doubt having a relative with Alzheimer’s SUCKS big time. It’s an insidious disease and it’s harder on the family then it is the person going through it. My grandmother has it and I hate watching my Mom and Dad struggling to help her. Adding to all of it my grandfather was recently diagnosed with two brain lesions and a spot on his lung. I know there’s a lot going on right now with health care reform and all that but I’m quickly finding that for the elderly the main goal of most places is to rape them. Almost $100,00 a year just to care for your grandparents these days. Who has that kind of money??? If you don’t have that kind of money what then?? It’s all stressful and nerve wracking and generally not fun.

Big Daddy and I are going on vacation this weekend. one that we seriously need. More then anything we need time away from everything. A weekend with no kids and just us relaxing.

So yeah…I’m still alive…just overly stressed and ready to disappear for a little bit. It’s not much of an update but it’s something right?
