Its Raining out
We actually had plans for today. Not the normal lets figure it out when its time but actual plans to do something today. We were going to take Zoe to Rockefeller Center today to see the Christmas tree for the first time. Unfortunately after somewhat making the effort to wake up early our plans were foiled by the rain. The kind of rain where its obviously going to rain all day ruining any chance of going out. I think I will have to take day off of work a day or two this week in order to get this done as its important to me now.
Seeing the tree is more important to me because its a tradition I want to pass down to Zoe. I remember participating in this exercise many times with my mother. We would take a day go into the city and see the tree and the windows at the stores. I cant tell you if its something I enjoyed as a kid but its a pleasant memory as I look back now. That’s all I want for her to be able to look back and be able to say I remember doing this or that with my mom and dad. It does not matter what it is really as long as its something. I did a lot of stuff as a kid but it was all with my mother, not because my father was not around but because he working to take care of his family. I am also taking care of my family but somehow all the hardware my dad put in working I can exchange for the luxury of having time off with my kids and spending it with them building pleasant memories of the past for my children where Mom and Dad are both in.
