Sunday , The Great Day Of Rest

Well today is Sunday and it has been a very nice day. I am looking forward to the new week and all it entails. My children have had very bad colds this past week and I hate it when they are sick and not feeling good. I have had to take them to the doctors and get them medicine to kick this flu bug. I am calling it the flu because they were really sick. Andrew had to have a x-ray on his chest because of his bronchitis. Sarah had a sinus infection. I hate being sick. I hate it when I have to work while I am sick. All in all they are feeling better because they are yelling and screaming at each other again. It is so nice.
My job is going nicely. I have a great staff and I feel fortunate. I really like where our salon is because it takes me only 3 minutes to get to work. I love that it is in a really busy part of town. However we had a shooting a month ago at the Panda Express 4 doors down. It was pretty scary. A 14 year old boy got shot 3 times and 2 shots went into the window of the Panda Express. I am so glad that nobody was sitting there at the time or else it would have been really bad. Then Kearns High had a student that was shot at lunch time and he died hours later. It was related to the Panda Express shooting. It is getting scary out there with the gangs. I hate gangs. I think it is lack of parenting that causes these young people to find refuge somewhere else, and it leads to violence. Sarah does not attend Kearns High, but attends Taylorsville. Andrew attends Bennion Jr. High. A lot of kids are home schooled these days. I understand, but I couldn't do it because I think children need other children to grow socially. I also need to work and it would be awful if my kids didn't go to school. We as parents need to voice our concerns and make the schools safe. I think most schools are safe, but I think that they need security like the airports. I am grateful for the school system and the time and energy the teachers put into their lessons, it is not an easy job dealing with teenagers.
Oh well, enough of the soap box, I need to get my teenagers fed. Take care
