Barb, hope the first day of classes goes well for ya! :hug::hug:

Sandy, totally awesome cabin. Hope you guys have a great time!

Everyone, :grouphug::grouphug:

~~~~~~

Well, we've had evidence of how hard it is for animals to find food this time of year. This is the first time ever we had deer tracks in our front lawn. :eek: Of course, most of the stuff they planted in here attracts them, and bunnies (including the huge mutant one, guess he's been getting plenty to eat, lol!)

The past few weeks has been a learning experience with pain and figuring out which is Fibro and which is MS related. Luckily getting some relief here and there, but it's been fun!

Off to go putter around the house and do some chores. Hope everyone has a good day. :grouphug::grouphug:

Good Morning! Just fed the birds.......they're pigs! They can eat all day! Especially the blue jays.

Sandy, the cabin is gorgeous! I'd love to live in a place like that. I hope ya'll have fun and relax. You deserve it.

Not doing much today. Probably some laundry and filing away some receipts that I have stacked up.

Everyone stay warm and be safe if you venture out in this cold weather. :grouphug:

Morning all! It was another rough night with mom but we all talked again and things are calmer again. She constantly throws up to us she will go to a nursing home and quite frankly I am sick of hearing about it. Jim overheard it and told her if we are so bad then go on and go. I made her apologize to him and that about killed her. haha She's not one to apologize. It all started when I told my sister she was doing well except for her meds. She is really having trouble with acceptance. We told her she could live on her own if she would move by my sister and she refused to live where she'd need to which is close to sis. She wants to choose and it ****** her off that we said she'd have to live close to sis. So, I told her she has to live here or meet us halfway. That's when the NH came in. :rolleyes:

Anyway, like I told her she had food in her tummy, clothes on her back and a roof over her head. There are millions who would give anything to have that. Even those in a nursing home wished their family would let them come live with them.

I have two emails out to get her involved with something. Of course she says we should wait to see what the doctor says. I don't get that, we just saw him. LOL I think she's nervous about meeting others but she's too outgoing to be shy too long. It will do her good. We have a ladies club here at the lake that meets once a month and another sub part of that group that meets every Monday to make crafts to raise money. I also have an email to the local church for the food pantry. I think she'd enjoy the ladies club better though so we'll see.

Other than that, nothing going on. I need to do some laundry and switch out our sheets after I get Jim up and going. We are so exciting.

:hug;

fin...Im glad you are finding some relief. sometimes its so hard to judge the
reason for all of our health problems.:hug:

Morning everyone! Another busy day here. Finishing up laundry and then moving DD18 back in to the dorm.

Tomorrow will be busy as well. My parents lemon tree is overloaded with lemons. The day I was supposed to go over to take some off the tree, my mom had to cancel. It was not a good day for her as she was busy taking down decorations and my dad wasn't feeling too well. So, my brother and I will be going over tomorrow to take ALL the lemons off the tree. Anyone need lemons? lol There are places in town that we can bring them to and my SIL is going to juice a bunch and freeze the juice for lemonade, cooking, etc.

Hope you all have a great day! Need to get back to researching ideas to supplement my SSDI.:eek: A normal job is not an option for me and I finally came to terms with that. I think if the neuro hears me ask her that 1 MORE TIME, she's going to bop me on the head. :D

Have a great day everyone!:hug::grouphug:

Sandy, love the cabin! Ya'll will really enjoy that. We may move up near Tullahoma for DHs work and there is a log home up that way that we have our eye on. Sorry to hear mom is letting herself get worked up over the changes she has had to make.

Barb, I hope the first day back is going well. My son starts his class tomorrow. He's tackling a big computer programming class so he is only doing one this term. Plus he is going to work some this semester.

Sox, FIn, Weave... :grouphug: HOpe you all feel better soon. Kitty and Tkrk :hug:

I'm doing some better. DH is on a business trip to FL. SO I can be lazy and no cooking. My sons usually fix their own meals. Plans are to clear out my craft closet and get it organized and clean my sewing machine. I'm getting the urge to sew something. Maybe some pj bottoms or a coat. Can't decide.

Pam, Jim and I may move near Tullahoma if the Smokies don't work out. My cousin lives there.

Made it through day one. Going to go lay down. Stiffness/spasticity is making me really *itchy:(.

Sox -- What is your recipe for Captain Crunch chicken? I used to get it at Planet Hollywood and loved it.

Barb, hope you get some rest. :hug::hug:

Trish, that's pretty cool that they have lemon trees. That would definitely lead to a lot of fresh squeezed lemonade around here. :)

Happiness is finding a recipe that you thought was lost for all time. :) Found my grandmother's recipe for German meatballs. It goes with a variation of stroganoff sauce, so can't wait to try it out!!! Poor hubby and being my guinea pig for recipes, lol!

I'm hoping the weather man is right in a warm up later this week. Never thought I'd be looking forward to it being in the 30s again. :D

Take care everyone! :grouphug::grouphug:

Hey Barb...I had the chicken at their DC restaurant...the chef gave me
the recipe....yum. If you want it, I will send it to you!:)
