Friday Challenge
Hi all!!! I am challenging us to get a really daily thread going again!
It's a Friday of a three day weekend for me. That has to be a good day.
I'm sure you guys have heard about the quake in Haiti by now. I was looking at foxnews.com and saw a picture of a father holding his four year-old daughter's body. I saw the look on his face and have known that pain. When I read farther that the Red Cross was/is taking text donations for Haiti, I got out my cell phone. It felt like nothing, compared to what's going on down there. Today I read on the website the Red Cross has gotten 5.1 million dollars in text donations, the largest text fundraiser ever. I am feeling proud today to have contributed to something bigger than myself.
This weekend, Mikey is coming home for an overnight pass from the residential program. I hope it goes well. He seems to really be working now.

Linda, I agree! I miss the daily thread too.
I am at work with a huge smile on my face. I sorta adopted a kid here at work that has no real family. He and his gf had their baby at 2:28am this morning and he listed me on their visitors list for the hospital as his MOM! Guess that makes me an "adopted grandma!" I am so excited. He has sent me text pics of the little man. He is sooo adorable. I cant wait to see him tonight.
I also am bouncing around happy that I have started losing weight again after the 5 day pouch test. I was at a stand still for 4 months. So as of today I am 152.5 lbs and headed to "lower" ground! ;)
Hope you are all having a good day!
Huge hugz,
Tracy
