Nightmare at Mom's High School

[mizarchivist]

My father texted me "don't panic" ... "Shooters at Chardon High are in custody" ....  "school in lockdown"

Fast forward to when Mom herself called me 20 minutes ago to say she's catching a ride home (her car blocked in by investigators). She sounded sturdy and fine. I watched the noon press conference and it sounds like one of the students has died. 

I thought I could hobble through the day here at work, but I can't think. I'm going to go find my baby and maybe have some tea.

That sounds like a very good idea. *hugs* And *hugs* to your mother too.

Tea and baby snuggles sounds ideal. Have a hug from me as well.

Wait, what? *googles* Holy shit. *hugs* Glad your mom is okay. How horrible! :(

All of this! Gah.

Augh. Take care of yourself. Augh.

Oh!

Now your IM makes more sense.

I approve of your excellent plan.

Well, holy crap.

Glad she's okay!

Wow. So glad your mom's ok.

I think your instincts about how to spend this afternoon are leading you in the right direction. There are some days on which the only possible answer is to find the baby, snuggle the baby, and have tea. This is so obviously one of them.

I'm glad your mom's okay.

I hope everyone has a nice, dull remainder of the week.

*hugs* I'm glad your mother is ok, and I agree with everyone else - baby snuggles and tea are an excellent idea.

Excellent idea.

Babies make times like these much better.

*biggentlehugs* Be gentle with you. Positive thoughts to your Mom.

So glad your mother is OK! (Physically at least — that must be devastating, especially if she knows the victims or the shooter.)

It's not a huge school, so...

Oh, how awful--for the students, the staff/teachers, the parents, everyone. I'm so relieved your mother is OK, (as much as possible under the circumstances) and sad about the student who died.

I'm so glad to hear that your mom is okay, but it's tragic that a shooting happened today and someone's died.

I had no idea that was your mom's school.

*hugs*

I'm glad she's OK.

Now FB makes sense. *Hugs* So sorry for you and everyone else affected.
