Today was a beautiful day in Florida. Went for a short and easy 3 mile run and then had to go to the craft store for supplies for Christmas projects the kids are doing at school.
Katie and Sam both placed 2nd in their categories in the Science Fair. Because Katie was in the "teams" category she gets to go to the district competition in March. I'm so proud of them both. I was really impressed that Sam placed 2nd out of 61. Awesome!!
Earlier this evening we went carolling at a local nursing home. Everything was going fine and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I started crying and had to make a quick exit. I guess walking through the nursing home just brought back the pain and sadness of losing my mom this past June to cancer. Every now and again I guess I just need a good cry and it always seems to come out of nowhere. This Christmas will be especially hard as it will be the first without her. And, although my dad passed away many years ago, I still get teary eyed at the candlelight service at church when I think of him.
Well, on that cheery note - sorry - I think I'll call it a night. Lots to get done tomorrow! Sweet dreams everyone.
