Thanksgiving was a good day. I am thankful for my very patient husband who put himself in an uncomfortable situation on Thanksgiving for me, his wife. I am very grateful.
Black Friday was so much fun. I do not normally shop that day, but I decided to go shopping with Ma. She told me to be at her house at 3:15 am!!! I set my alarm for 1:45am (I live 40 minutes from her house). It was wonderful, I figured I saved about $200. Ma and I have a date to do it again next year. When we were finished we called my father and he met us at a restaurant for a nice big breakfast.
Saturday is family day at the Phoenix House (treatment center where Danny is living). We start out at 10:30am with Parents group. It is just all of the parents in a group therapy setting for about 1.5 hours. Then we have a pot luck lunch with parents, kids, siblings, and staff. At 1pm we have another group for 2 hours with all of the kids, parents, and older siblings (Will attends this as well). From 3-4:45pm is free time. Danny and Will play basketball or we play cards. It's really nice getting to know the other parents and teens. I left on Saturday evening feeling positive and grateful. Thanks so much for all of your emails, convo's, and prayers for Danny and our little family. IT IS WORKING!
In business news, the 3'fer Thanksgiving weekend sale was sort of lame. Not all sales are a big hit, it's okay. I am going back to the BUY 2 GET 1 FREE sale for CYBER MONDAY. That day has historically been just like any other day in my shop.
Nighty night
