Several of my wonderful blogging friends emailed me to make sure things were ok because they havent heard from us in a while. All is well, just been covered up with work lately and been car shopping. My car is rapidly turning into a hoopty and its time to think about getting a new (used) one. It is a process I despise but the bunnies insist I do it so I can make sure and get to the store to buy green yummies. Dont worry babies, mom would walk if we needed greens and nana's .
Me and best nephew in the world Jake went to the movies last night. We saw "The Book of Eli" and were completely horrified. I didnt know what it was about when we went in. End of the world type stuff, which I hate. If I want to see depressing crap I will just turn on the news.
Speaking of the news, I have been glued to the TV lately. It always happens to me when there is a disaster. I cant stop watching and it makes me so angry. Its been 7 days now and "they" still cant figure out how to get those folks food, water, and medical care. Everyone stands around talking to reporters about their shitty "promises" and what needs to be done but as usual its the everyday ordinary folks that are working their butts off while "officials" are just yakking yakking yakking. I want to kick someone in the face. Its time to let our military completely take over with running the show for a while. That's when things starting looking up after Katrina. Quit sending the useless "government officials" over there. All your doing is clogging up the friggin airport. French and Swiss rescue teams were on the ground searching for people THE NEXT DAY but some Haitians havent had a drink of water in 7 days. The few doctors are reduced to cutting off arms and legs "Civil War" style. A horrible nightmare they cant wake up from.
My heart goes out to the people of Haiti. I am helpless to offer you anything but my thoughts, my outrage, and a few dollars. It is time that countries around the world put a real disaster plan in place. We should have learned that lesson many years ago. I saw a hand sticking out of the rubble waving for help. I wanted to reach through the tv and grasp that hand, pull that person out and hold them tightly.
