Uh oh... now what?
My attacking dogs, sniffling nose, and problems with what to buy for whom
just shrunk infinitesimally. I try not to even read the news during the day
because of the violence.
Our thoughts and prayers are directed toward Connecticut.

I decided to take a vacation day from work today. I sat down to eat lunch and saw the news. I couldn't believe how mean someone could be and all the innocent kids. I have a nephew in kindergarten and thought about what if it had happened to him. My baby is not even 10 months old. And I can't imagine if this were to happen to her. I dropped what I was eating and headed out the door to pick her up at daycare early just so I could spend the afternoon with her. She had no idea what was going on the world. Has no cares whatsoever. But I just wanted to be with her, hold her, while I can.
Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire community in CT and especially to those parents who don't have a child to put to bed tonight, and who won't see a glowing face on Christmas morning. So sad.

I could not believe it when I read the news. Tears ran down my cheeks when I imagined something like this could happen to my own kids.
And the school had all the security measures in place!
My thoughts go out to the families who have lost a loved one!
Run for fun.

Wow. I've been tied up all day and usually check forums before news when I'm home, so I was clueless what you were talking about until I went to a news page. Spooky.
Horrible news--my heart goes out to all the parents, friends, and schoolmates. John's right--when something like this happens, it puts all the little problems in perspective.
