enough excitement

A couple of people have said "Heard you had some excitement yesterday?" Yes - I did. Or rather WE did. About 10 minutes before 5:00 yesterday - I hung up the phone from a phone call from an old friend. Almost as soon as I set the phone down I heard what I thought was a bang or something - I thought someone backed into someone's car or something - then I heard someone honking and then screaming and someone came running into our office screaming call 911 call 911! HE put a gun to my mom's head -he shot a Dr. - call the police! I got up and walked down the hall - down the stairs and out the door and saw across the street a man walking out of the currency exchange across the street - he had a big oval blood spot on his shirt and he was talking on his cell phone - I thought - he must be helping someone over there - he walked up to his truck and put the tailgate down and sat on the tailgate - all while on the phone. The hysterical woman was standing in our parking lot and hugging her mom - the older woman. She was still hysterical. The older lady - that he had apparently stolen her purse - she was just beginning to cry - I thought she must be in shock. People from our office were saying - we better come inside and lock the door. It was just surreal. Somewhere in the background I heard Nancy telling Shayna to call 911. But there were already three or four people on their cell phones calling I think. I didn't want to leave - but I didn't want to stay here either. All I could think of was that I had to get home to the boys.

SO - to say it was exciting - yes - I guess you could say that. I really could go for a heck of a lot LESS excitement in my life!
