What Were You Doing That September Morning?

Everyone in America will always remember what they were doing that morning. Some may have worse stories and horrible occurrences and vivid memories than others but we all remember. Please feel free to share through comments on here.
Our Story:
I was in the kitchen making breakfast for Kylee whom had just turned 2 years old three days earlier. I was extremely pregnant and already having contractions from time to time with Conner. I had the tv on The Today Show when I realized they were talking and confused and trying to figure out some great disturbance. Anytime they stray from scrip it catches my attention. I just stood there in shock for a minute or two. At this point I decided to go wake Lee Jay up and tell him a plane just crashed into one of the towers in NY City. As I enter the bedroom and turn on the tv it is showing a plane crash into the other tower...live. That is when the world changed. Everything seemed to move slower; like being in a time warp. I know for me all I could think about was my child and my soon to be born child and how they are going to live?
As a nation I think we did come together and we did overcome. I think it has made us who we are today. We are strong and we are fighters. We will always band together in times of crisis. It is who we are. Americans. Family. Friends.

How Can She Be 12?

12. Already? How? I literally just put her in the contraption called an infant carrier car seat for the first time. It took forever to figure out how to snap the belt without hurting her! She was so tiny we thought they were crazy for letting us take her home. Shouldn't she weigh more? At 5 lbs 15 oz we hitched a wheel chair ride down the elevator to our waiting car with LeeJay looking just as scared as I am feeling. We were headed home to start our new adventure. Now at 12 she has headed off to middle school starting her own adventure. So while she wants to jump for joy...i just want to cry. Where did my baby go? 12. I just can't seem to grasp it yet.

Hot Hot Hot!!!!

You know it has been over 100 degrees nearly every day for the past 2 months when you have not one but TWO $600 electric bills back to back. Oh My Gosh! Maybe we should have done more research before deciding to add an upstairs to our house. We doubled our electric bill! The funny thing is...it is always hot up there. To the point of being unbearable during the day. There has to be a solution. If you happen to have any ideas...please share!
