Disturbing...

About once a week I find a few minutes to read a magazine, book etc. Usually I find great things to read that either teach me or inspire me. Sometimes I read silly things like People and tend to realize how normal my life really is and occasionally I read something that is really disturbing. Well today, I found my 10 minutes and was reading People and the article was about this lady who had teenage kids 13 and 16. She shot the kids twice in the head killing both of the them because (and I quote) " they talked back, they were mouthy and she was tired of it." She shot the boy after she drove him home from soccer practice and the girl while she was doing her homework. Are you kidding me? Please tell me what 13 and 16 year child is not mouthy or pushing their limits? I can't even find words to express my total disgust at this woman. Meanwhile, the dad / husband is 1/2 world away, working. Enough of the details. What kills me, is that there are so many people out there who can't have children, who have issues with kids not making it because of a disease or car accident etc. And the anguish of these people is amazing...to the point that I could not even imagine it. Yet here is this woman who can't figure out how to just walk away and count to 10, she buys a gun for the sole purpose of killing her children.

I know, I have said I would sell my children, drop them off at the fire station, trade them in for a new model etc. But I have never meant it, for more than 5 minutes.

When I was talking to someone and told them this story the response I got was..."That just goes to show that there are some crazy people out there." I'm sorry...this is so far past crazy the two aren't even in the same zip code. At least they put the lady in jail with no bail...but seriously...
