I'm sure that many of you are feeling like I am this week, that's it's hard to do much of anything after this past Friday's tragic events.  This seems to feel like the longest week ever... I haven't felt like blogging, sewing, working out or doing much of anything.  Because constantly, my thoughts keep turning to those families who have lost so much in Connecticut. 

And yes, I have been hugging my P tight, kissing her sweet little face, telling her how much I love her when she is in the midst of a fit, even letting her sleep in our bed with us the past few nights.  But somehow, that all doesn't seem to help the sense of sorrow go away that I feel for these families. I'm just longing for this Friday afternoon, when school will be closed for break and I can have my sweet P at home with for the next two weeks.

I was torn as to whether to even write about this.  But somehow jumping from my last post about the Elf on the Shelf on to some other holiday related, or sewing related or whatever kind of post just seemed wrong.  Before I resume my own sense of normalness in this space, I just felt like had to acknowledge it.

Thanks for writing this. I'm feeling the same way. I read this post last night, sounds like a lot of other parents out there are too: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/17/parents-newtown-grief-coping_n_2318485.html?utm_hp_ref=parents&ir=Parents
