Really?

So today I was just cleaning house and organizing – preparing meals etc…

When my phone rings and it is from MY school – the administration ?? Huh that’s odd – they never ever call when I am off work… what could be the purpose?

So I answer… it’s a recording…

Immediately the recording starts out that ALL Staff and ALL students are safe … right away my heart sank!! This was not going to be a good call…

It continued to say … there was a student threat against my school, and the student has been detained by the police department and will face expulsion among other charges. 😮

And then we will be having armed guards at school for 2 weeks 😳

I don’t understand kids with this sorta stuff- do they not realize the impact or terror this has?

I don’t even know what to say. This wasn’t the norm when I grew up.

This is the one thing that makes me uncomfortable working at a school. We actually have lock down drills for this stuff!! We do them like fire alarms – by surprise and then see how long takes for everyone to get safe. 🤨 I am glad we do it to be safe – but I don’t like those drills.

Kids should not have to fear shit like this – it’s ridiculous

There is a commercial I saw right after I got this job – it gave me a very uncomfortable feeling …

That commercial sent chills down my spine – It still does – I can’t watch that video. It makes my stomach turn really bad.

How do we fix our kids when they are exposed to so many things?? Is overload, they are desensitized and do not think things through.

I dunno – I’m not scared – when it’s my time, it’s my time… (not to be funny in a serious matter – but I do get a funeral discount)

But I am not scared. That commercial and the thought of something like that ever happening – it does turn my stomach, but I am not scared.

I just feel sorry and sad. But I guess that’s the world today 🤨 (wtf)

Well anyway… I am off to go out to dinner with my kids for Valentine’s day ❤️ woo hoo! Enjoying my moments – well while I’m waiting on people getting ready 🤨🙄😄 (they look the same as they did when they started getting ready lol – but whatever)

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️
