You never stop worrying... its the hardest thing in the world to let go and let your kids fall down, make their own mistakes, get into and out of danger on their own. The first time you see your child get hurt, your heart stops cold dead, and you want to wrap them in bubble wrap and protect them forever. Hell, when my daughter got her first immunization shot I wanted to kill the nurse for making her cry! Good for this mom. And you know for damn sure that she was holding her breath until her son got home safely.

Nice. I'm sitting here with bags packed, waiting for an evacuation notice, just trying to breathe in this horrible smoke. Last time I checked, I didn't hate America.... just some of the douchebags that somehow seem to rate air time...
