My family and friends know that I almost never ever watch news. It's usually just disturbing, depressing and full of terrible things that I have absolutely no control over and can't do anything about.
I'm the type of person that wants to mobilize and do something and I can't. I take everything to the very core of my being. I can feel deeply for others to the point where it's hard to walk away.
I finally watched the first of two Oprah shows on the Katrina devastation.
Big mistake. I was in tears. Shock. Heart wrenching. I can't even get my mind wrapped around it all nor will I ever be able to erase the images burned into my mind.
So sad. Sick. Scary.
I feel anger. Hurt. I'm immobilized. That feeling I hate having which is the very reason I've avoided the news accounts up until now.
Giving money will never be enough. My prayers will never be enough.
I have no right to ever complain again. I will take nothing for granted. Nothing.

Warning! Motherhood isn't for wimps. I'm plodding through motherhood one clogged toilet at a time and I'm still loving it. My life is full of beauty and craziness. I've decided I'm officially going insane, would you like to come along?
