And I understand how you feel -- the media is spotlighting your area (you more than mine ever was) and it's hard not to think about it, even if you don't change much of your everyday life.<br /><br />It sounds like you've done what you can to prepare your girls and hopefully nothing else will come of it.

It's just how they due business. You could always take NAC (found at health places like GMC) if you were really worried, but you said you weren't nervous, and I understand. It's gotta be irritating and a big disruption, especially if they're closing down so many schools.ChristaCarol Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908423468344511136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817248340630521543.post-68457986045758979942009-05-19T15:37:57.622-07:002009-05-19T15:37:57.622-07:00Angie and Janna--I'm not really that nervous, I ju...Angie and Janna--I'm not really that nervous, I just wish it would go away already!<br /><br />Debbie--Yes!
