I'll be honest, I forgot what today's date was.

This morning was just like any other morning. After the frantic rushing of children to get ready for school and on the bus, I was finally able to sit down with the just awaken Connor for some morning cuddle time. Flip on the TV and it turns out MSNBC is replaying the Today Show coverage from 9/11 in real time.

What was odd about this to me was that on that day in 2001, I got up like any other morning, and sat down in the rocker to nurse the then 15 month old Alex, a bit uncomfortably mind you, since I was 6 months pregnant with Dylan. I flipped on the TV, The Today Show, just in time to see the second plane hit.

So this morning, when I sat down with Connor on my lap, turned on the TV, just in time to see the second plane hit. Weird.

I think its important to remember what happened.. and learn the lessons from it (like paying attention to certain national security warnings,) but I'm more than a little irked by some networks, replaying the coverage in real time, every year. Last year it was CNN, this year MSNBC.

I don't think it needs to be relived. And it has to be incredibly painful for loved ones of those who died that day. If anything I think this day requires quiet thought, remembering those lost, honoring their memory, and for petes sake... finally healing. Reliving, in real time, doesn't help the healing process.

But thats just my opinion.
