Hi everyone!

Okay so today I get home from work and my block and the surrounding blocks were covered in police and vans and swat teams.....as there was a robbery at the pharmacy on the corner of our street.  The three robbers shot one of the employees and then it was a hostage situation.  I was freaking out!  It was so scary seeing all the police and the swat team!!  But more than that I was freaked out because Barry's youngest is special needs and takes a school bus home--I had no idea how she would get home.  But I needn't have worried cause she was thrilled that she got driven down the street by the police who then ushered her safely into the house!!!

What an afternoon!!!  Ugh...I am ready to move out of the city!!  Just wanted to share my exciting and unsettling afternoon with you guys!!

My second shift supervisor came in today and was telling me about it.  Glad everyone is safe now.  And that little girl is going to have a very interesting story to tell at school tomorrow!

Eileen--
Oh yeah--Cheyenne (Barry's daughter) was THRILLED -she thought it was sooo exciting to ride down the street in a police car!  (And she thought the police officers were "So nice and really cute" OMG can you stand it?!! LOL

That's horrible Laura!  I'm SOO glad you're safe though!  That's traumatic!  Take a long hot shower and pamper yourself!

All is good now...everything is much better in the light of a new day.  Still it was a bit too crazy for me...

Thanks!

Glad you have been able to settle down...

Glad you are all safe.  There's been a whole string of robberies around.  This stuff is scary because as you now know it can hit way too close to home.
