Mr. Pooka's Lateness

[Mr. Pooka]

Sorry I've been quite a bit slow the last week but it has been a weird one! We have both been working to dodge stress but there was a weird real life thing going on in our city the last couple of weeks but its kind of escalated and is hard to ignore. At our sons school there was a major case of cyberbullying that has gone kind of over the top including regular bomb threats and death threats to several local students and staff which actually has our whole city on edge. The police have been at the school every day and they have been on constant lockdown... fewer and fewer students are going each day (only about a third was there yesterday and many haven't been all week) and every door is locked/secured and there is at least 5-10 police there regularly. Our son wanted to keep going which kind of has been keeping us on edge! We got three different automated update phone calls from the school just today and every time the phone rang it was kind of scary! He'll be staying home tomorrow though (which is a relief to us) because nothing is getting done in school anyways (he was locked in one class all day because all of the doors are locked an no one is allowed to move around) and just watched movies, so there is not much of a point to going tomorrow.

Either way, it has been trixy to focus on anything for me so I've been more focused on colouring (which has a more zen affect on me, getting lost in photoshop) then jumping in with games and working towards my various fun plans... which I will get too! Just thought I'd toss a quick explanation out there for anyone waiting for me to get on with things, (-8

That is very frightening. I hope everything calms down in your area soon and things can go back to normal.

I hope everything goes alright and the school figures something out. My old school would have lock downs from bomb threats and it always worried me and my parents especially with how often they always seemed to happen. They would try to teach us while under lock down but everyone was to jittery and scared to listen to anything they said so they would play movies as well.

That is horrible! I'm sorry to hear that you and the family have been going through that sort of thing. Sending you all the best wishes for a relaxing evening and a better day tomorrow. <3

Woah, that sounds scary, no wonder it was hard to focus on anything! Hopefully this horrid stuff all gets sorted out soon! >.<

[aholland]

Hope all settles down soon. I can well imagine the fear and such. I will keep you all in my thoughts.

[Rayvin_Kittiy]

Hope all goes well you guys! Take your time <3

It really is just such a weird thing... we rarely get this kind of stuff going on around these parts. Its affects are all over town as well... I heard two diff conversations about it when I took my son to the store yesterday and when I found him he was talking to another student from the school who had not been in all week because he/his parents were to scarred of what might happen...
