Week

i have to admit, its easy to forget this thing. what a week, though i know you don't care what i had for lunch, to sum up my week might be a tad more appealing? maybe? well thought mom had atherosclerosis, worked 14 hours, sat once--yes once-- thought mom had an ulcer, tried to clean the house, mom had gallbladder removed, worked again, and still haven't got to the planning stages of hawaii and or sedona which is vastly approaching. but my butt hurts from working out every morning at 5am. yes. as i write it doesn't seem that hectic, i assure you it was.
i was conversing loudly with hubby this morning, and i heard this little confident voice telling me i need to take a break. "take a break mom, take a break" uh-huh. 3.5 yrs old. i am in for a rough adolescence.
a stange phenomenon occured today, at my workout class a woman wore a shirt that advertised, meaning she took a black marker and wrote it on her shirt, that said, "9/11 survivor, wtc 92nd floor" i noticed it first thing and when off to the side asked her (yes like a dope) if her shirt was real. well of course it was, who would wear that if they weren't right? anyway she said something to that affect, and i just shook her hand and said amazing and that i was glad to have met her. the thing is, no one else questioned her about her shirt. no one asked her! i don't believe that she announced it to the 30 other women in attendanceperviously, so... i just don't get it. is it the risk of uncomfort to them or her? is it still such an issue to not talk about, too soon? i mean if she didn't want to talk about it, don't wear the shirt. it started me thinking about us as a society, ok not really, i am just thinking it now. but seriously how f%$#^! up. how about just a little something, i don't know. but everyone is so concerned about not offending or being so pc that its over the top. not to question, just to know the experience of an individual who first hand lived through one of the most significant events in us history. it would be an honor to hear, but also a lesson. hmmm. got any other impressions?
