I was getting ready to play tennis & had just gotten my kids off to school.

When the first plane hit, I thought it was an accident, when the 2nd one hit, I knew it was bad. I called my partner to ask if we were going to play, and she said the team was still playing - I couldn't believe it.

Weird thing, we played this "old lady team" (funny because I'm one of them now LOL, but that's how I thought of them back then) and their reaction was like, "Hey, things happen, why let it get in the way of tennis." I thought they were absolutely NUTS!

Finally, all us "young moms" starting getting calls from the schools to pick up our kids, so we, as a team, forfeited all the lines.

I then went home with my kiddos and watched the coverage - SO SAD!

How my life has changed? I'm alot more cynical, I don't trust the government to take care of me or my safety. But I think that's just age...
