hey all, it is tuesaday.
an annoucement about the killings of the two little girls will be coming on within 20 minutes i heard.
went by the police station, only 2.5 blocks from my house, and lots of equipment and people there.
cnn, fox, 3 national stations, local stations set up for the upcoming announcement that someone will be charged very soon.
the father has been kept there overnight for questioning. he is still in police custody his father in law stated. unimagineable that it could be him. but, one never knows people, do they.
going to the make shift memorial tonight to drop off my offerings of love for the families. not an easy task. keep me in your thoughts.
i know the krystal tobias family. they moved to zion from texas many years ago. laura hobbs family moved from florida last year.
i taught yesterday and the girls brothers of course were not at school. i would have had them in my class.
after i came home from the dentist, which by the way was unpleasant and painful, the school called for me to come in to help out and teach. some of the teachers at the school did not come in today due to the situation.
i had to decline. i know i will be better later today. just a very heavy heart right now. hoping none of you will ever have to have this bad feeling i have or experience a situation that affects your entire community.
i live 8.5 blocks from where this all happened. my kids rode their bikes and played in that area for hours on the weekend. hard to believe something so beautiful has become so ugly.
thanks for your kind thoughts, i do appreciate them.
i wil try to check back in later. i am going to be fine, just have a very heavy heart right now.
so, now all of you know where i live. more details of my community is on a map listed on tribune.com (check chicago on that page under newspapers.)
i work tomorrow and as soon as i get off i have to drive to get my toddster from school. his finals will be over and i get him all summer long.
going to stay in the usual motel next to the campus as i won't get there until evening. leaving thursday once the van is packed.
decisions.........hmm......who should i call to yak with tomorrow night.
just needed to talk to my friends here instead of pm ing you all. you said i could talk if i needed to and i am taking you up on it.
i love you guys.........i really truly do.....
