"We've had 1,400 rockets hit us in 8 days. No wonder why I feel so friggin' tired. I'm still not anywhere near giving up or even thinking about leaving my home. But I want anyone reading this to understand that Israel is not attacking Gaza "over nothing". We started getting missiles in Ashkelon in early 2008 when my daughter was just a few months old. She's 5 now and has never known anything different. We've been very patient but enough is enough. It's been a long week and we might be in for another. Give me strength universe!"
