I am so tired today. last night I heard sirens and looked out my bedroom window and saw that my neighbor's house across the street and two doors down was in flames. OMG. My daughter's best friend lives there! 2am, I get dressed, hubby runs outside in boxers (gonna be a lot of help in those boxers, honey, but your heart is in the right place), watching anxiously as the firetrucks keep coming, fire is under control, finally my husband comes back. Thank God they all made it out safely. We brought over all of our extra blankets to wrap up the various family memebrs who were standing around dazed and shivering, and took my daughter's friend to our house to stay warm, get her into socks, a sweat shirt over her pj's.

They sorted out what they were going to do (Red Cross was on the way), so we returned to bed. Doorbell rings - Mrs. thao needed to use our faciliies. Back to bed, doorbell rings, one of the older sons wants to know if we will store some things in our garage. 4 am, no point in going back to bed, made coffee. Wondered at how quickly things can change. Pray they have decent insurance, thank god they all are safe.
So tired today, I hope they are all somewhere safe and warm, catching up on their sleep before they have to deal with the mess of their house burning.

Not working out today. Just being tired and thankful.
