The case of the missing pregnant woman and her son? Her bagel shop is literally 10 yards from my apartment although I never met her.

After word last night I passed the shop driving home, saw the newscrews everywhere and balloons and flowers at the front of her store, and I knew the news wasn't good. It's somehow worse that they were killed by the father of her unborn daughter than a stranger... For those unaware, the leading cause of death among pregnant women is murder by her husband or boyfriend...

Yesterday was a bad day anyway. We had state testing yesterday and it was awful. Kids are NOT meant to sit still and quiet for 4 hours straight!!!!

By the end of the day there had been 8 fistfights, a HUGE foodfight that ended with chocolate pudding on the ceiling, and one of my kids was suspended for threatening another student with a pair of scissors *sigh*

I made my class stay and help clean up the food fight mess, even if none of the other teachers did....

I came home, put Fox to bed and proceeded to get sloshed. I'm now soo hungover (bleeah!)
