Oh right…war

May 13th, 2009

This picture made me think  a lot today. I kind of forgot we still had troops in Afghanistan. Its so easy to be worried about money, pregnancy, labor, baby, moving, work, Matthews work, friends, family, fall line up, seeing harry potter when it comes out a week after my due date, etc etc that I sort of put things like this aside until I have room to worry about them too.  In my current emotional state stuff like this can make me tear up immediately or stare into space for hours on end. I look forward to the end of pregnancy hormones but unfortunately I am a huge worrier and know it is just the beginning.

Yesterday’s Pictures of the Day at the WSJ were particularly fine, including a US soldier in Afghanistan who didn’t have time to put on his uniform and gets caught by the camera taking up a defensive position in pink I [heart] NY boxers and flip flops.
