Going someplace warm and sunny

I am heading to Florida this weekend to spend some time with my parents. It will be a nice change from the below 0 temperatures we have been experiencing here in the North East. I am very much looking forward to this trip.

I've had a good couple of weeks. My children are all behaving and work has been good. Today is my grand daughter's 5Th birthday. She is so excited about being 5. It is like some magical number for her. I guess when you are 4 turning 5 is a really BIG deal. Tonight I am taking them out for dinner at Madison's favorite place to eat. It should be fun.

I am taking the day off tomorrow to pack and get ready for my trip. My flight is very early on Saturday morning so I need to be up and out at the crack of dawn on Saturday.

Unfortunately for Madison today is the day that my first husband died of brain cancer. He died on her first birthday so my children have a tough time reconciling the celebration of a birthday with a terrible loss. It's hard not to smile when you are with her over her excitement of being 5. I hope that we can all concentrate on that tonight.

I hope you all stay warm and happy while I am sitting on a beach in southern FL.
