What an experience.....Wednesday's I go to South High School to see 6 students for therapy. So today, the school is on "Code Yellow" because a threat was made to a Minneapolis school (not sure which one) over 2 social networking sites (like Facebook or MySpace possibly) this morning. So I am sitting in this little room by myself with no one to see. I could be sitting here all day, I hope not all night! The kids are not allowed to be in the hallways, so it looks like they will be in their second period for awhile. I am curious what they do about lunch. UPDATE: I didn't get to see a student/client until 11:30 when they were escorted to me. Then while I was seeing a student from 12-1, there were 2 food fights and 2 physical fights in the lunchroom, which caused a thousand screaming kids. I was a bit nervous at that time b/c I could hear kids screaming and see them running and I initially had no idea what was happen. At that moment, I felt responsible for the 17 year old girl I was seeing. The school remained in CODE YELLOW the entire day. A kid (suspected from Australia) made a threat that they were going to shoot up a Minneapolis school and then shoot himself. It is so scary to witness what schools are like these days. This threat caused every school in the MPLS school district to be in CODE YELLOW for the entire day.
Last night, Kaylan, Courtney, Jen Chase (a neighbor), and I went to the WILD game. It started out well, but ended in a loss in a shootout. It was our last game for the season. Jeb and Jason were not able to join us because they had the Association Board Meeting to attend. I think they may be regretting their decision. However, I think the two of them, especially together, are bringing great new ideas and positive energy to the board. Check out our photo (you can cut and paste this website into your browser.

Well, either tonight or tomorrow after our dance class we may be heading to the Car Show. Jason is excited to check this out so I am sure I will tag along (since we drove together). Sunday we are going to the WILD game with one of Jason's clients. We went with this client several years ago, so it will be fun to see him again.
In two weeks, Jason is headed to Hilton Head, South Carolina for a work golf outing which he is very excited about. He would like for me to join him as many of the other wives are going along. I am excited to be able to go along, but the tickets are so much and the return flights are at 5 and 7 am. UGH. So hopefully the prices decide to go down in the next few days so I can tag along. I may not be able to golf because the "guys" already have their teams set up. It would still be fun to see the area.

Welcome to the world of high school. We are in a code yellow almost ever week. Don't be too alarmed with code yellow...code red is when I get nervous (intruder, unknown suspect, violent threat). This is when the lights have to be turned off and we go into our "hiding" places with no one allowed to talk. Glad you got to experience what school is like today compared to when we were in school. You must have made it out safely?
