So today is the day I let go with all my feelings.
To those of you who use and work the system...YOU SUCK! When my family is now in a position that we need help we can't get it because YOU have taken advantage for too long. YOU have made it impossible for honest, hardworking people like my husband to get help. YOU have now made it impossible for me to get the after care I need from a recent surgery. YES, I BLAME THIS ON YOU....THE ONES WHO LIE AND CHEAT TO GET BENEFITS YOU DON'T NEED OR DESERVE! I HOPE SOMEDAY KARMA COMES KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR AND WHEN IT DOES I WILL LAUGH AND ENJOY WATCHING YOU FALL. I HOPE YOU HIT THE GROUND HARD AND IT TAKES YOU A LONG TIME TO GET UP BECAUSE YOU TRULY SUCK!

9-11-11
10 years ago today I got up, got the kids to school, went to work. Just a typical Tuesday morning.
I went about my normal routine as manager of a catering co. Making sure everything would be ready for the Rotary lunch that day. The manager of the building came into the kitchen and said a plane had it one of the Twin Towers in NYC. I thought what a horrible accident and hoped that no one was hurt. Then what seemed like seconds later he ran back in and said they hit the other tower.....then the Pentagon. Now they say another plane is missing. We are being attacked with hijacked planes. We had no TV so we were glued to the radio.
Slowly the Rotarian's began to trickle in and everyone was in shock. When news came that the 3rd plane had crashed in PA. 2 men walked through the doors and said "this building is on lock-down." The building we were in was Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Coliseum, we were across the street from the Old Courthouse. All buildings that had any government affiliation had been locked down.
The next hours lasted for what seemed like days. I suddenly remembered that my grandparents were in NY, a stop on their way to Canada. I had no idea if they were safe. I had not been able to get in contact with my kids or family, I could not leave the building I was in and only knew that we had been attacked, the Twin Towers had fallen and thousands were dead. Finally at 5 o'clock we were allowed to leave. The drive home was very quiet. No one was out, it looked like a ghost town.
When I arrived at home my kids were crying while watching TV. I sat and watched and I don't think I moved for at least 5 hours. I was in disbelief at the images I was finally seeing. The planes hitting, the people running, the buildings collapsing. I was able to finally get my mom on the phone and my grandparents had left the city about an hour before the events unfolded. They were told what had happened after they crossed the border in Canada. It was all like a bad dream.
Although I did not know anyone personally who died that day, I feel the loss of all those lives It is a day we will never forget. We mourn today on the 10th anniversary as we mourned that Tuesday 10 years ago.
God Bless America

Full Circle
Not many of us get to ever meet those that we watch 24/7 from July to September. Some are lucky to have events near them or go to Vegas or have them live a few miles from your home.
Last season Kathy Hillis took a lot of crap from many people on blogs, Twitter, Facebook, etc. I will even admit that I had a couple of moments when her actions made me wonder WTH. But, I would like to tell you about Kathy the person not Kathy the BB contestant.
On March 3, 2011 my friend Kim suffered a loss that no parent should ever have to endure. Her only child Levi was in a car accident that took his life. I was on Facebook that night as Kim found out the news. My heart broke for her and I cried with her. My only thoughts at that moment were that I wanted to get there and comfort her. Well, Kathy was there. Kathy was on duty that night and she worked the accident. When she realized who he was, she never left him. She held him, told him his mother loved him and kissed him goodbye for Kim. Kathy was and has been a constant in Kim's life while she is recovering from this tragic loss. Kathy is what my grandpa called "good stock". Kathy is someone that I will aspire to be everyday. Kathy is the definition of compassion, inspiration, love and friend. Thank you Kathy from the bottom of my heart.
RIP Levi
