UPDATE

OUR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL IS STILL ON LOCK DOWN DUE TO BOMB THREATS.
5 COUNT EM' 5 THREATS IN 3 WEEKS.
AS A PARENT IN THE DISTRICT WE STILL HAVE NO INFO CONCERNING WHO
IS INVOLVED WITH LEAVING THESE BOMB THREATS.
AGAIN....UNBELIEVABLE.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER......

Thanks Giving morning, I put our turkey in the oven and headed over to Lucie's. Once there TOGETHER we prepared breakfast. Then TOGETHER we peeled potatoes and such to
get her Thanks Giving meal going. I stayed at Lucie's for a few hours doing things TOGETHER before heading home. Once our Thanks Giving meal was ready, I had a bite to eat with my family and headed back over to Lucie's.
Arriving back about mid afternoon, TOGETHER we got the Thanks Giving meal on the table. As I sat & prayed & ate with Lucie, we laughed, talked and enjoyed our meal TOGETHER. After our meal we cleaned up TOGETHER. Then we watched some t.v. TOGETHER and when Lucie felt like taking a nap, I headed home.
Yes, it was extra work for me going back & forth, preparing two Thanks Giving meals in two different homes. Though, I must say... the joy and happiness my actions brought to Lucie FAR out weighs ANY extra work I may have done and Lucie's smiling face made it ALL SO VERY worth while.
TOGETHER is a huge plus for any day and even more so on a special or holiday.
I have and will continue to do my best at making sure TOGETHER is a part of Lucie's day....every day.
I love Lucie.
TOGETHER WE STAND THANKFUL !!!!

UPDATE

***Robert Aliano is holding his own...we contiune to keep him in our prayers as well as the entire Aliano Family***
**there has been no new information about the bomb threats in our local high school**

AH GEE .....

The Mom in me wants to fix it.
My 12 yr old Thomas didn't make the school basket ball team and he was pretty bummed out. Thomas lights the court up. Which is why we couldn't believe he didn't make the team. On the ride home I found myself telling Thomas the story of his brother Sonny and his high school B Ball experience. Through out high school Sonny tried out for B Ball but never made the team. A few minutes into our conversation I could see Thomas was really listening and interested. I went on to tell him that his brother kept trying out, never giving up. How Thomas friends reacted to him not being chosen was the same way Sonny's friends reacted. They could not believe it. Sonny and his friends knew EVERY place to go and play B Ball. Out doors, indoors, be it day or night they knew where there was an open court. Oh Boy and I didn't forget to mention "The Hoop Up" competition's. Also when Sonny went to college, he coached B Ball teams. When Sonny graduated college how he landed a position as Athletic Director. I went on & on. By the time I was finished telling these stories, Thomas whole mood had shifted to remembering he is on his school P.T.O. Basket ball team(students from the same school play each other) and now Thomas was asking me to see when it is registration time @ St.Anthony's for B Ball, where Thomas has played all sports offered since first grade.
So I didn't make "the school team" but I still play for the "P.T.O. and St.Anthony's", right Mom. Hey Mom when is wrestling sign up ???
I think the boy is feeling better about himself............
and I know his Big Brother is a excellent example.

"No News Is Good News," Does It Always Ring True ? ? ?

1) Robert Aliano is still in critical condition, Please keep Robert and his family in your prayers .

2) There hasn't been any information regarding who is responsible for the bomb threats, let's keep this situation and those involved in our prayers.

Oh No, Not AGAIN

I cannot believe it.
Today there was ANOTHER BOMB threat in our local high school.
Last wk there were THREE BOMB threats in the same school.
Needless to say these threats are taken VERY seriously, as well as VERY scary.
I have a teenage son in this school and it is very hard to send him off each morning while this is happening. Yes, there are the endless talks about " if you see someone or something that doesn't seem right report it to an adult in the building. "
I cannot just chalk it off as nothing but an empty threat, how could anyone when there has been tragedy in other schools across our country from this kind of action.
I find myself thinking WHO would do something like this. It is then my memory starts flooding in news clips of other schools where the unspeakable happens as a result of this kind of action. Each time a threat has been found, the Police are called in, the entire school is emptied, the Police and their K9's begin the search. Thankfully each time nothing has been found, the school is deemed SAFE by the Police and the students and staff are able to enter the building.
Hopefully before anyone gets hurt (and or) these threats continue they find the student or students who are responsible,
WAIT - HOLD ON - I HAVE TO BACK UP HERE........
Did I just say the student or students ????
that was way off, I should have and meant to say ...
hopefully they find the person or persons who are leaving these threats,
get them the help they need and let our lives go back to "normal" without the thoughts of DAILY BOMB THREATS in our local schools.
You just don't know who it could be.
