thoughts on CT school shooting and just update

I’ll start off with my thoughts on the whole CT school shooting. There are a lot of things about this incident that ticks me off and saddens me at the same time. I don’t understand how anyone can basically execute little kids. From what the media is saying the shooter was mentally ill and unfortunately the mentally ill are running out of places to receive help. In our area they just closed the mental health center so where do these people go? My brother is mentally handicapped and ill and does occasionally have issues with meds which causes him to be hospitalized but now that there isn’t a place for him where does he go? From the sound of it they are trying to put the mentally ill in jail to help them get treatment. I think that is worst possible place for a mentally ill person. My brother doesn’t deserve to be put in jail with dangerous inmates because his body got used to his meds and needs to be adjusted. How is that fair? You try to imagine what if something like what happened in CT happened at your child’s school. I think I’m more terrified because I work at my son’s school. It’s scary to think of someone coming in and shooting innocent people especially since you know most of them. The even scarier thought is the way some of the classrooms are set up. They call it “the pod” and there aren’t any doors at all just classes set up in a circle. The kitchen where I work has a lock on the door but as far as I know you have to lock it from the outside so that wouldn’t help us except the good thing is there is a door to outside right next to the kitchen. A lot of the classes have doors somewhat near them which is good in a way depending on how far the class is from the door and where the shooter is. My son’s class is right near a door so hopefully they could get out safely. It’s just scary thinking of different scenarios in your head of different things you could do.

Now for my update. I can’t wait for x-mas break. It will be nice to not have to go to work for 2 weeks. Plus it helps that my birthday is during that time but sucks too because only 1 or 2 of my friends will probably come hang out with me for it. Kacey is getting better on attitude since the med change and he will go see the dr this Friday so we will see what happens for that. I have a sleep dr appointment Weds. which I’m going to tell the dr about being so tired and see what we can figure out. I personally think it has something to do with my thyroid but we’ll see. My son had a school dance last Friday. He was excited and told everyone he was going to kiss his friend Breanna. I told him it wasn’t going to happen at school because he would get in trouble so he gave her a kiss on her cheek at her house. My son is weird I know. Well I guess that’s it for now.
