I was told that I would be shot, if I attempted to remove her from the school, this would have been about 1960.

I can still feel the fear, a child that would not be allowed home and a navy husband on a ship some where.

OMG! I'm one of those parents that run to the school when the tornado sirens go off. You can imagine how quick I made it to the school on 9/11.

Fortunately, I live 1 minute from school and always have FOX on. I know about any threats/attacks before the school has a clue. I also have a copy of my childens classes and room numbers so I know exactly where they are at all times. It also pays to know the secretary at the front desk! :)

granny, you've really got me thinking about things on a practical level. My brother works at least an hour from his home, my s-i-l doesn't drive and they have two small children in school and one baby at home. My parents are nearby but they don't even have tonight's dinner in mind, much less 3 days worth of food. Mr. hummingbird is about an hour away and his grandfather is at least an hour away from him on the other side of town. I think alot of my personal anxiety is in not being prepared and knowing that my family (in three separate locations in the city) is also not prepared. Seeing this one line from your post is making me get off my butt TODAY! How do I motivate my family when they think I'm a 'conspiracy nut' just for being on FR?!
