So I finally have some time to post, but about what? I was going to show off the closet doors that I painted in chalk board paint for Boo's room. But then I wonder...am I being self-absorbed? My post earlier today, it sounds like it's all about me. And now I just want to tell myself- "Get over yourself already!" I just don't know what to say. The news about V tech Monday just blew my mind. All the sensational media coverage just makes me sick. The thought of this happening again in a school just makes me scared. My kids go back to school on Monday after being out for spring break, and I am scared. I know it didn't happen here. But it could, couldn't it. I know it was a college, not an elementary school, but that doesn't really make me feel much better.
I am trying to keep the TV coverage off as much as possible. I don't want my kids to hear what is going on and be scared to. They love school. I don't want that ruined for them. And yet, for the first time ever I am actually contemplating home schooling them by middle school, if not before.
The world we live in now is a scary place. When I was a kid I would never have imagined how different things would be when I grew up. I mean, school shootings, 9/11, pedophiles in almost every neighborhood across the country, and a war that seems to have no end. Of course, I guess past generations didn't foresee their wars, the depression, pearl harbor, etc.........
I'm just a mom who worries about keeping my kids safe in this crazy world. How about you?

I 'found' your blog through Lisa's. You left her a very kind comment~that was nice.
I don't have any kids myself and in times like this I thank God for it. I can't imagine the worry and stress of things like this. My parents just had to worry if we'd fall off our bikes and skin our knees...this is too much.
It is scary times right now and I couldn't imagine having my babies here with me going through it. I am comforted knowing that both my angel babies are in heaven and safe. I will say some prayers to keep yours safe and sound.
Miss you, love you, Lis xoxoxo
It's terrifying, isn't it?
I was reading through the news, and about 4 high schools across the country were in lockdown from bomb threats this week.
Some days I just wonder what the world is coming to. :-(
Life's a beach: Thank you for visiting. Lisa and I go way back and she will always be my "sister" no matter how far apart we live.
With everything going on in the world, I look forward to the scraped knees...thats something I can handle. : )
Lisa: Thank you for your prayers. The kids are anxiously awaiting getting to meet their "Aunt Lisa". LOL.
ATM: Wow, that is scary about those high schools. So far my kids school have been pretty safe. We have had one lock down in the 4 years they have going there. But that was to keep the kids safe because someone had tried to break in to a house in the neighborhood by the school and they didn't want him to be able to hide out in the school. That was scary, and I was glad that they went ahead and went on lock down.
Hey Girl,
I just found you via my site meter. I was so excited to find you and we read some of the same blogs that I love!! I'm adding you to my blogroll. That's just the way it is. =P
I think this world we're living in scary as hell. And as a new mom I'm terrified. I just think we're lucky these days if we're not in the wrong place at the wrong time!!
You are not self absorbed, girl. I for one wanna see those closet doors!!!
