Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I am so devastated by this. Those poor babies ... I can't imagine dropping your child off, thinking about the coming weekend, getting ready for the holidays, and then never getting to see your baby again. Please, hug your babies every day as if it could be the last time. I know I for one am going to try to be more patient with DDs from here on out, because at least I still have them. My heart breaks for the parents who will receive the worst news possible today. Homeschooling is looking more and more palatable.

    I have goosebumps and can't watch or read anymore about it. Totally devastating. I was an elementary school teacher (k and 1st) before being a SAHM, and this just tears me up in every way. Thoughts and prayers to all the families affected by this tragedy.

    This is a horrible day here in CT...I live about 20min from Newtown and I'm devasted.  Why did this happen?  School is suppose to be safe...I'm deeply saddened this and my heart is heavy for those incocent families.

    Beyond sad. Yesterday DD and I butted heads all day, but man am I thankful that she's safe and that we can still continue to butt heads ;)

     I cannot even imagine the emotions the parents/families are facing right now.  My heart aches for them.

    I'm an elementary school teacher and after lunch break(when I found out about the news), I went back to my classroom, stood in front of my students, and almost broke down in tears.  I just can't imagine.......

    I had to turn it off. Granted I am 2 days post partum so the hormones are in full swing, but I couldn't quit crying. My heart goes out to the families, the poor first responders that had to see that horrible scene, but I really lost it when they said they found children hiding during their room to room sweeps. Those children have been robbed of their innocence. They will never forget the fear they felt today.  I lost it tonight while reading DD her good night stories, thinking of the families that will  never again have that opportunity. Grace asked me why I was crying. All I could tell her was that mommy was sad that sometimes people are not very nice. How do you describe that to a child, nor would I even want her to know about the evil that exists in our world.

    I am so completely numb and feel helpless.  I cried so hard last night after the boys were in bed.  I am broken for these parents and families torn apart.

    I completely agree.  I truly can't even imagine.  I never cried so hard than on Friday.   When this happened I later explained to my husband that THIS was why I do the things I do sometimes---giving DS1 the gumball he really wants or giving that extra snuggle that they want before bed.  I don't want to ever live with regret---because I have before--and it sucks.  I want to know that we leave the way we want to--happy and snuggled.  Yes, my kids are somewhat spoiled at times but they are shown respect--so I figure it balances itself out somehow --but at least I know they are loving it and I love giving them the little extras (like a trip to McDonalds and such). 

    I gave both of my kids the biggest hugs before I left them at daycare today.  My DS1 attends the elementary school because of special ed classes--and yes, I'm terrified today--but I know that we had a good morning and that I left the way it was supposed to be.

    I grew up in CT about 30 mins from there as well.  My mom is an elementary teacher in Branford.  We are devastated as well. I've cried my eyes out multiple times per day since it happened.
