I try not to watch the news too much. Makes me scared to live in a city, sometimes makes me feel unsafe in my own home. But man was there some news today.
First was the very sad story of the school bus crash in Chesterfield, NJ. I usually do not cry during the news but this story has me crying. 11 year old girl died and her 2 sisters are in critical condition, one in a medically induced coma. She was a triplet. They all sat in the same seat on the bus everyday. Breaking my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to her parents and to her sisters. I had an older sister who passed away when I was 7 and I always wonder how life would have been different had she not died. There also was an 11 year old boy who was critically injured also, praying for him too. Most of the other students were released from the hospital. Just sad. And the back end of the story is "Who is to blame?" Can we concentrate on the children right now?
Second thing had me going Uh-Oh. Story on Kohl's marking up prices. I love me some Kohl's. Always have great sales and then this story comes along. Check out link below. Wow. I bet when you walk through Kohl's tomorrow you will see people peeling off stickers. The report did say that Kohl's will honor the lower price or apply the discount to the lower price. And I love Jim Donovan. His 3 on Your Side stories are always very informative.
Third is that Mars is going to stop selling candy bars that are more than 250 calories. No more king size candy bars and regular size bars will get smaller by the year 2013. What?? Stock up now people. No just kidding, this is an agreement Mars signed with Mrs. Obama, Partnership for a Healthier America. At first I was a little annoyed with this story thinking that they are now regulating what we eat. But now when Bubby asks for a candy bar it won't be as bad, it will be bad but not AS bad. Bubby is not a big candy eater so this might make saying yes to the candy bar every once in a while easier (of course I will still try to divert to the cut up apples in the cold display).
Then I saw this story coming up. See link. Made me chuckle a little. I think this will be on Monday @ 11:00. I am setting my DVR right now. My mom is in her 70's and I don't want to know. There are certain things in life you should just not have to think about and this is one of them. At least not now. This is a Scarlett O'Hara thing, I think about that tomorrow x 8038034038084.
And last but not least, snow on the way. Yeah!
No, sorry just one more thing. The Flyers won tonight and hopefully this made my very sick Hubby feel a little better. Love you Honey! He must be sleeping the coughing has stopped. : )
Wait, wait!!! There is a royal couple Barbie edition coming out in April to celebrate William and Kate's first anniversary. Too much, although it looks pretty good I have to admit except his head looks weird.
