Just Another Bad Day....

Well, it wasn't exactly horrible but I was certianly ill as a hornet. I didn't fall asleep this morning until probably 12:30 or 1 am. Physically I felt awake today but mentally I was just out of it. I haven't laughed once today.

Something really horrible happened to Ms. Milner, my art teacher, last night. Her house burned to the ground. I don't think anyone knows what caused it but very likely it could have been an electrical fire. Thankfully, her two young children were not with her when this happened but she has lost everything. She only got out of her house with her wallet and keys. Mr. Macabee(principal) asked all of us and the staff if we could possibly donate money to help her get off her feet. Unfortuantly, I had no money to donate but since her and the kids will need clothes, I'm wondering if it would be possible to donate alot of old clothes of mom's that she never wears. This is something I need to do this week. God, how could something like this happen to her, of all people?? And this close to Christmas??? She has got to be the last deserving person to have something like this happen to. She already has enough negative things happening in her life right now. She's going through a divorce and her husband is trying to take away her kids. At the moment, I don't know where she is staying but I could guess it's a relative or friend or something. Thankfully, her insurance will cover appliances and things like that that where lost in the fire but that won't happen for a few more weeks. In the meantime and and maybe longer, she and her kids will need all the help they can get.
