Have I mentioned how much I love being home? The weather during the weekend was amazing and HOT. Today looks like I woke up in a different town. It's gray and cool. I hope it gets hot again for mom's visit. I want her to have a great time. It's been years since she has been here since we usually met up in LA.
I actually just took a short break to talk to her. She is so excited and so am I. She was having lunch with her friend who wanted to talk to me to wish me a happy holiday and tell me that my mom needs to rest and take it easy. I am going to go with the flow and not push myself too much since just cooking will be fun and a big deal. This is going to be a special Seder this year. It's in my house with very special people.
It's also my time off. My break before starting my new gig. Apart for cooking, it will be a blast. With all the recent news lately and the heartbreak around kids losing their fathers (Alyssa, Erica and Anna), I am so thrilled that I get some time to be with my family. I have such a small family and I miss the gathering. I always thought that I would have my own family but life turned out quite differently than what I had expected. And as I told Amy yesterday as we were sitting outside by the pool, I am so thankful that I never had kids with JD. That would have been a living nightmare. And I am where I am. I can only move forward differently but can't change what has happened.
