5 years ago today ... what were you doing

I don't really remember what I was doing the day before. but i will never forget that day . It was sunny and chilly , I let the dogs out , fed them. Heated up a bottle . sat down with the Amanda age 3 was having chocolate milk was playing on the living room floor , Jaren was about 3 months almost 4 months was resting on my lap having his bottle , when I turned the t.v on for the first time that morning . Hmmm.... Whats the W.T.C ? And where is it? Looks like a foreign country. I was watching CNN to get the morning news and couldn't figure out what a W.t.c was , " We believe it was a plane that hit the W.T.C " Well, it looks familiar, come on people say where it is !! "We repeat we believe it was a plane that hit the World Trade Center in New York " Then** BOOM** !!!! another one hit , on live TV I sat there and watched a fricken plane smash into a building , WTF is going on ??? I was crying trying to comprehend what was happening. Elio got up to use the bathroom , I told him what had just happened , then I looked up to him and said , "do you have family that works there ? he said "I'm not sure ." Then the phone started ringing . a multitude of calls that day. " Did you see what happened ? " "What is going on ?" OMG , Do we know anybody flying today ? Now the Pentagon was hit, the fricken pentagon!! What is going on ? " I'm getting the kids from school I want them home . " "Is everybody accounted for ? " Try to call new york , busy signals , cannot connect . A plane crashed into a field somewhere , they don't know if its related . I told family to keep us updated . "Take money out of the bank they may shut down federally and banks wont be open . " "Stay away from malls !" Logan is under a high alert, "What do you mean they came from Boston , How can this be happening?" I'm suppose to vote today , but i don't want to leave home. Well by the end of the day we had all Family and friends accounted for. Kids were sleeping . We voted . I was sitting there in silence watching it played over and over and over . it is engraved in my memory. but, for the life of me I cannot remember what I / we did the day before. I heard some one say , this is the weekend before that day again . And I hope the people who's lives were taken spent those days before doing what they wanted to , told the people they loved , I love you , hugged and kissed their children and took a moment to enjoy it . I hope so . Never Forget 9/11/2001. http://attacked911.tripod.com/ They had no idea it was their last. I <3> U
