The wonders of cell phones and texting ...


Both my kids have been texting me for the last hour ... their schools are about five blocks from each other and both schools are in lock down.

Everyone is okay ... shortly after I posted I received a phone call from the school district ... all our phones (home / cell / home office #) rang at once ... the district has a automated emergency contacting system in place ... I answered the home line to hear the recording about the lock down.

Sorry for the scare Karen but as we all know they do what is best for our kids. We have had that happen twice, once in the Elementary and once in the Middle School. The Middle School was a threat that ended with kids being evacuated across the street and the elementary school because someone robbed our local 7/11 and had not been caught and they worried about the kids since the school is only 3 blocks away. Each time we got that phone call from district but it is enough to cause a serious scare. Glad everyone is fine.

How very scare and very glad to hear that everything is OK. And yes, a chocolate fix-medicinal reasons of course-would be required.

Hugs,

Of course chocolate is perfect for medicinal purposes.

Just now saw your FB post, very scary but I'm glad everything turned out ok, I would've been frantic too.
