Some are angry, some sad--I can't even focus on 11/02---
I have spent the entire day consumed with worry.

Will my teenage sons be drafted? When is the next terrorist attack on US soil? (OMG! What did I do with the duct tape?) What am I going to do now about the fact that my kids and my husband and I still won't be able to afford health insurance? We haven't had that luxuary since 1999. How can I keep watching day after day Bush and his smug friends on my TV?Knowing they are criminals and watching them get away with it. Will I ever get over the ice cold fear that runs through my veins when I go to the end of my lane and come face to face with Muslims in black burkas and White robes at the Islamic Center in my city? My rational brain says they are just like me, but my government has DEMANDED I be on "yellow" alert day after day for three years. How can I afford to ever send my kids to college when I pay cash for every health care need and a fortune in gas to get there?

Well anyway that is where my brain is today. I want to win. I want to change America. But I can't. Not today. I was so hopeful that help was on the way, but now it is gone. It will take some time to process and proceed with plan B. My family will survive. We have survived the last four years, but I was hoping for a little more...

Thanks for listening.
