Gotta tell ya. When I turn on the 11PM news and hear the

[Midlodemocrat]

breaking news about car wrecks and death and shootings and death, I am supremely happy that my children are asleep upstairs.

God. What a world.

1. That's why I don't watch the news.

All my babies are upstairs asleep too. *phew*

2. On the phone with mine

3. Ha! My mother would probably just be happy I got away with it

[Midlodemocrat]

6. Oh, really?

PM'ing DS1's Mommy right now.

4. I missed the news. I was out buying masks to prevent the swine flu.

So, there was some scary stuff, huh?


I'm glad your kids are upstairs asleep, too, Midlo.

5. I had a car dumped and torched outside my house a while ago.

See? Home ain't always the safest place to be.

7. last week, the drug dealer across the street from us

had his truck utterly destroyed. Slashed tires, smashed windows.

A targeted attacked, because Mr. had his car in the street almost directly across from this truck and the kid's step dad's truck was parked in the street behind the kid's.

Something went wrong. That's for sure.

8. I bet you then turn around and buy all of their products because you're so scared

[Midlodemocrat]

9. I'm not scared. Just grateful that my kids are all okay tonight.

I don't scare easily.
