Good morning,
It was downright cold this morning when I took the boys to school. I don't complain much about the cold, since I spend most of my days in a cooler that is 29-34*f all day long but the air was cold this morning. The temp said 10*f but windchill made it worse.
Today is a bittersweet day, I have the day off, but it is also the 23rd anniversary of my mother's passing. I remember that day so clearly, we were supposed to go visit her in the hospital after school and bring a pizza with us for dinner. I remember we drove straight to the hospital without stopping for the pizza, my aunt, uncle, grandparents were all there, they brought us to the cafeteria, I always picked out the half-sour pickle, the cafeteria had the best. Then they brought us to the hospital chapel and broke the news to us that she had passed away. I was 16 and my sister was 13 and all I could think of was that we were orphans. Sorry for rambling, just I always have these memories on this day.
I have been watching Christmassy stuff today to keep my spirits up, and I have the Bruins game tonight. I have a chicken in the crockpot, making red skinned mashed potatoes, stuffing and so on. Dinner will be yummy tonight.
I hope you all are having a good day.
