I thought I would share these links that I was sent through a Mom’s group. Our kids are very exposed to the media these days, so these might be helpful in the weeks to come: Talking with Kids About the News, Helping Children Understand Crisis and Trauma, Talking to Children about Violence, How to Talk to Your Children About the News.

I wrote a longer post earlier, but my computer lost it. Hmmm… oh well. I don’t think I could rewrite it. I am just happy to be alive and want to go home and hug my son.

Phones are jammed in New York right now, and probably all along the Eastern seaboard. I can’t call my friends on their cell phones. I was just wrapping up reading the posts at Saranwarp, all of which leave me stunned in a surreal sense. It is amazing though that they can still get e-mail, and people in Manhattan are on IM right now. As she put so well… “kind of strange that the internet, initially a military endeavor in case something like this happened, is now proving itself.” Wow.

Amazing how things that seemed so important yesterday have suddenly become so trivial. I just want to hug everyone I know and thank God that they are ok.

GiveBlood.org lists donation sites in Houston. I am sure there are sites for every city, at least the major ones.
