    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    Great ideas ya'll. Whoops - seems like the foul weather has found us. Gusty winds and thunder. Hope the power stays on. I meant to put fuel in the generator earlier, but didn't get to it. If we lose power now I'll be fueling it up in the dark - ugh. Over 850K folks without power in the...

    Thank goodness - no! Pretty far north of me right now and moving mostly east. If it moves more south the tail end might clip us - but so far so good. My brother is in Baytown and in the direct path right now. How about you?

    Took DH to the eye doc earlier today. Got his prescription and went and picked out new glasses. Another chore down. Appt with a spinal pain specialist next week. Don't hold out a lot of hope, but... Unloaded feed and felt a few sprinkles. Decided that I should mow before the real rain...

    Thanks. It's already been an emotional day, and it's just barely started. Trying to focus on the good memories. I need to buck up before DS gets here. Don't want him to feel slighted in any way. That's cool!

    I swear to goodness I'm ready to shoot every animal on my place! I think the solar flares are messing with every critter's intelligence. Banded a bunch of bucklings this morning. I think 5 of them... One got away so I caught a different one and banded him just because I felt like it! DH...

    What's for dinner?

    Pig! Not sure what it's called - based loosely on carnitas. Pork chunks simmered in its own fat, added some OJ, lots of garlic, peppers, onions, oregano and cumin. Home canned pintos for a side.

    Today has been better. I'm not letting up on him though. I'll freely admit that I've been a _itch. I'm not in the best place myself right now. I'd like to skip Mother's day - but I can't do that to my son. He's the only one I can still 'mother." His b'day is tomorrow. DD's b'day is coming...

    Thanks! Truth be known, he was walking just fine without it while he was getting PT. The minute they stopped coming he stopped trying. I'm not going to air a whole lot of dirty laundry, but we had a tough talk last night and again this morning. Several key words....selfish, lazy, exhausted...

    Memes That Make You Giggle

    Don't know where ya got the pic of my electric skillet - but I want it back! When my first dH and I bought this house we didn't have enough money left over for a stove. We laid a piece of plywood over the gap where the stove should have been and I had an electric skillet, a crock pot and a...

    What's for dinner?

    It was really good. DH will have the last two tonight and I'll find something carby for me, lol. After dinner he asked me when I was going to start raising quail again, lol. When you start taking care of them was my reply. But, seriously...I'm thinking about it.

    Walked into the house yesterday after feeding and found DH on the floor. No great damage...abrasion on his arm and a bruised ego. Can't turn my back on him a minute...sigh. He has a walker - do you think he was using it? He has a cane (actually 2) but do you think he was using either of...
