***Depressing Post Warning***
I don't know how much more bad news I can take. I often avoid the news for just this reason. There was a horrible bus accident today. 38 students had to go to the hospital, 3 with critical injuries. Two cars were landed upon by the bus, and both of those drivers died instantly. I don't know what happened yet, and I'm not sure I want to. It won't make it go away.
A man and woman were in a fight, when he doused her with lighter fluid and set her on fire. SET. HER. ON. FIRE. WTH? I've been pretty mad at someone before, but that is a special kind of evil.
There were several other horrifying stories on the news tonight. The local news. I couldn't bring myself to watch the national news, after that. I am not prone to depression, but tonight I can feel myself fighting it off. I am trying to raise my kids the best I can, and the whole damn world is falling apart. I don't know what's wrong with people, and I'm trying my best to not let it infiltrate my bubble.
Breath in, Breath out. Drink my diet Coke and watch some mindless sitcom. God bless my bubble, make it strong.

I don't like watching the news either, especially after dinner and at night...it's depressing..I know exactly what you mean...it's a shame really all the sadness in this world...I wish the media would focus on some of the positive things going on out there...guess that's just a pipe dream...E
I guess that is why I rarely watch the news anymore.

I am a news junkie and I have a bunch of details from those two stories that I won't share. And may I please apologize on behalf of your sweet mom for that "You Light Up My Life" joke. I think she developed that morbid sense of humor after befriending me. Or DID she??? Maybe she's been fooling us all along!! ;) Hugs, Russ
I stopped watching the news after 9-11, it is just too depressing.
