Scariness and Wreckage

E's high school and the adjoining middle school where J goes is in lock down today because of death threats made against four boys in high school. Some believe they will be more safe today than any other day of the school year. I still feel very uneasy. We talked about the kids staying home but there are still finals to take and even though the school will most likely have to redo them E didn't want to miss. She was surprisingly okay going.

I had my first fender bender last night. AArrggh. Slim was parked behind me but to the side where he always parks. My brain went into neutral as I backed out of my garage. I totally dented in my bumper (maybe some heat and a rubber mallet will pop it out- fingers crossed.) and broke out his Jeep blinker and parking light covers, not the bulbs though. SSsoooo, I need to call the body places here in town and find out $ amounts to fix his and mine perhaps avoiding the insurance company. Poor guy almost threw up when I told him since last week when we had ice he scraped someone in the mcd's lot and got charged $900. That guy saw an opportunity.

So there is a bit of a pall over today's excitement of getting out early and starting the break. Nothing a good party won't fix. Party at Andrea's!!!!
