It was a late work day for me so I had scheduled a "yearly" checkup at the Dr's office. I went in and found out the receptionist had given me the wrong day. I was supposed to be there on Thursday.
I headed out the door and called my Mom to say I was coming for a visit. Listening to the radio, the first plane had already been announced and the second one hit. By the time I got to my parents' house, the Pentagon had been hit. I was astounded. My parents hadn't heard anything because they didn't have the news or radio on.
I stayed for a bit then headed to the daycare. We were closing but still needed people to watch the kids until they were all picked up. It was surreal.
My hubby was adamant about me leaving to go home. I needed to be with the kids. I wouldn't want my child abandoned by a scared teacher. I got home about 2 and just stayed glued to the tv. Hubby got home about 3.
I still relive this schedule in my head every year.
