Hi Gail, and everyone!!!
you gave me a good chuckle. Now, I have one for you. So. Bobby was late last night, so I had to do the chicken, with green beans Yes, we have them in the supermarket again. First time since Christmas. So, Bobby bought so much green beans, I had to clean, and freeze half of them in that cryovac (not sure of spelling) machine I got from the Q. So, I got these cool spices from a company named Penzeys Spices, that have no salt. I ordered 4 of them, 2 for chicken, and 2 for pork dishes. I mixed them in with the Pankp breadcrumbs. Well, low and behold THE HUSBAND said it tasted real good. I nearly fell off my chair. Yes, Gail, I have threatened to hit him with a frying pan, because he is so very difficult to feed. Tillie also said dinner was great- they were lucky the headache went away.
So, when Bobby came home, I asked I if he wanted a piece of my fabulous chicken that they thought was great, and he says, “They only said that because they are afraid of you.” Well, the Boy did have some. he also liked it. A good day for the cook, I would say. He had not noticed the tin of chocolate chip cookies, so I told him about them. Of course., he took a bunch down and said…”what happened, that is barely enough for me”. Of course, more than half got sent home with the kids. I was also telling Gary he needed to check for gas for the snow blower, just in case. Bobby added,” You know the snow blower does not need gas, it needs chocolate chip cookies.” LOL LOL
I am about to leave for Bertucci’s to meet Nancy. We have to get another lunch in, before it gets more icy and snowy. So, Hetaher was wondering why I was venturing forth with obvious snow on the ground. I told her there is no snow in the driveway, and should not be any in the handicap section of Bertucci’s. If there is, I will just park right in front of the door, and tell them I will stay there so I will not fall when I leave. Gary told me one of these days, I am going to get towed. Not. I bet they are afraid of a sparkly, cane wielding old woman…..LOL LOL Wearing my new “necklace” black long sleeve Quacker top, with my new corduroy pants that feel like PJ’s….LOVE THEM !!! It is finally cold enough to wear them. I hope they come out with more colors next year- you will love them, if you have them.
I also feel bad he is pushing off the surgery, but, he was getting way too anxious, and that was not good either. They are supposed to call back today, with some dates.
My birthday is actually tomorrow. Gary has a late CAT scan for his kidneys, so not sure if we will do dinner out tomorrow. My favorite take out fish place is close to the hospital, so I may have him bring me and Tillie home a plate when he is done. With all his food issues, he loves fried clams- go figure!
It was nuts here yesterday. A lot quieter today, and no headache. Yeah!
Hope your sun stays out. It is sunny here to.
AdeleHi Colleen
I bet you are exhausted. Do not worry- your post made perfect sense.
I am the one saying I do not want a party, not the rest of the family. I just do not want the drama of who will not come with who there. So, I just decided to eliminate all of it. However, I may get voted down, and they may all show up anyway. They get funny like that- get mad when I say I do not want to celebrate my birthday. I have a hard time with my birthdays lately. I do not know why. I really hate my birthday lately, and have felt like that since I turned 60. On the other hand, the lack of one, is not great either….LOL This is # 66.
I am going out with Nancy today, before we get any more snow.
I think it is a great idea to go over to Danyielle’s when everyone else is gone. You will get some private time with her, and the baby, and she will appreciate her mother being there to help. Nothing like your Mom helping you with a new baby. How are they all doing, now that she has been home for a couple of days?
How has your Mom been doing?
How have you been feeling- how is your back?
it looks like the big storm is missing us, but they keep changing it. We would be thrilled if it stays more south.
I was very happy they came to visit yesterday- Tillie was thrilled.
Hope your day is going well!
AdeleHi Colleen
Congratulations on baby Aliza aye, and Danyelle. So glad all went well with the delivery. Those cute Itty Bitty’s with all the hair look so adorable.
So happy for all of you!
AdeleHi colleen
I will read the post to Gail for more info. Congrats on the baby!! Thank God all is good. Another Itty Bitty Angel has entered the world.
Read my post to Barbara, for a good laugh. They were able to visit for a couple of hours today, because e after Jhonny worked 16 hours yesterday, they gave him the day off today- unexpected, but good!
Gail is killing us all with her weather….LOL LOL I heard the blizzard coming will get the southern states more than us, as of right now. They keep changing it.
Gary re-scheduled his surgery, because he was getting real nervous about me not being able to drive him in the ice and snow. He is pushing it off a month or so. Not so good, a she is in agony lately. there is no position that arm can be in, without pain.
I recorded the Chew today, as they were all here when it was on. I did see it yesterday, and love all the game food. But, Gary will not eat any of it….LOL
I have not found the QVC extra channel yet. I think they will be on late tonight, but I am be asleep by then.
I hope you were able to get a visit in today, if the weather cooperated, so you can snuggle that baby.
Congratulations!!!!
AdeleHi Barbara
You are not complaining. You are venting. We all need to vent. For example, here today we have Steph, Jhonny and Aizen visit. Jhonny had the day off, so they could visit as a family. They did not come with JJ, because when he gets out of school, Heather is likely to b e back form her route. and Steph is not talking to her mother right now. You see, we all have the family drama going on.
Here is the comedy show for here today:
So, this morning, I could not get in the shower, because they were coming early, and I promised chocolate chip cookies. So, here was my schedule for the day- up at 8:00, got quickly dressed, into the kitchen to quickly measure out all cookie ingredients to get together as soon as the crew left on their routes. Gary starts yelling, we have to have breakfast, as Hetaher and Frankie would be here shortly, while I was putting away the dishes from last night, getting out the cookie sheet, and quickly checking the business account to make sure nobody bounced a check on us yet (oh yes- our lovely customers do bounce checks, especially around the holiday period, and I would rather know at 9, than at noon). Quickly get the dishes out for breakfast, and Heather arrives, followed shortly by Frankie. As soon as they all leave (now it is 11:45) cookies are started. As I finish cleaning the cookie sheet, and table Steph Jhonny and Aizen arrive, with soup from Panera. I did not have the nerve to say I was not hungry, as I just had breakfast, so I ate the soup. Tillie comes upstairs, Aizen opens up his birthday gifts, and we all have a nice 2 hour visit, in which I took 2 Alleve’s when nobody was looking, because I now had a big headache. Do I dare mention how much noise the Paw Patrol vehicle makes???? Gary then arrives home, and they get ready to leave a few minutes later. I pack up half the cookies, so they can give some to JJ, and off they go, with Aizen’s belated birthday gifts. All is now quiet, for a few minutes, until Frankie and Hetaher land back here, and I do the books. Meanwhile, no vegetables have been cleaned or prepped for supper. LOL LOL
Still, I love their visits, no matter how short, confusing, or crazy it gets. I just have to accept all the arguments between all the family, and work around them. So, this is what I decided for today. I am not going to host a birthday party for me this week, as I am not going to invite only half the family, twice. and that is the gospel, according to Adele for 1/20/16. LOL LOL I have to keep my sense of humor around here.
Do not worry, Barbara. We all have this going on. Thank God we have each other to vent to. I am trying to figure out a way to get Bobby to cook dinner tonight. Do you think it would work, if I lay on the recliner, and moan?
When Bobby was married, there was not one thing I could say to my DIL that made her happy. I had to hold my tongue a lot, every time they visited. It was very hard. I also do not get it. When they have a nice MIL, who treats them good, and genuinely cares for them, why do we still have to be hated because we are the MIL? FIL’s do not get that rap. Not fair, I say. Basically, it doe snot matter what you say to a DIL, it is wrong. On the other hand, you can slap a SIL, and still be loved. Go figure. that old adage is correct……your daughter is your daughter for the rest of her life, your son is a son, until he gets himself a wife. Words we all have to live by, even us sparkly Quackers! Some day, they will look back on this, and realize we were really not that bad at all.
Love you, Barbara- hope you enjoyed my rant, and wisdom for the day, or lack thereof.
It is freezing here too. The storm coming may miss us, and get you more. Stay warm!
AdeleHi Girls
Forgot to say, since I missed the Quacker show, I could not get the top I liked- the anchor one. Of course, it is a waitlist for my size in the black and blue.
Hope everyone got what they liked.
AdeleHi Barbara!
Glad you are good, and staying warm. I hope Jerry gets some rest. You are right- all that back and forth takes a toll on us older people. So sad about what his brother was trying to do to his Mom. She is so very lucky to have Jerry.
The weather people are saying the big storm coming , will be here by Friday at 11pm. It looks like you may get some of that storm too. Have you heard anything about it? It is coming straight across the country.
I am glad you DIL is doing well with the pregnancy. Too bad she got a flu/cold. That must be awful with all the morning sickness. how long until she passes the 3 month mark?
Those dumplings sound real good. Can you post the recipe for the rest of us? I have just discovered dumplings, and have to say, the family has loved the 2 recipes I have done them with so far.
What a nice visit you had with your neighbors, especially since Jerry has been gone so much. What goodie did you make for them? Bet is was tasty!
I was going to make a cake today, but, since the kids are not coming because Jhonny was called in, no need for today. I will spend the rest of the day sewing for Tillie and Bobby.
I hope it works out for Jerry’s Mom to live either with you, or close by in an assisted living place. It would make all your lives so much easier. There are always times when we need more rooms in our homes. When Heather and the girls moved aw years ago, we had Amanda in one bedroom, and Heather and Marissa in the office, which we split in half, and called the boffice. So, we had 7 people in this 10 room house. It was a challenge, to say the least. So, I know how you feel.
Hope you stay warm, and all continues to improve.
AdeleHi Gail
It is freezing here too- thank you so much for sending your weather our way…..LOL Whatever you get, we get right after. We are still in lone for that storm Saturday.
I decided to do the Caraway Rye bread. The flour is coming today, along with the additive it needs (King Arthur Rye Bread improver). I was going to do a trail run tomorrow, with it, but, I need sour cream, which I do not have in the house. I feel bad asking Gary to stop for it today, as it is a wind chill below zero out there. Oh well!
I worked on the stocking a very little yesterday, as I had to get the rugs vacuumed, as well as the kitchen. The Swiffer is just not good enough for a kitchen floor. We are all alike- everything take sus so much longer to do, and then we get so sore after.
Today, I am sewing. Tillie has pants, and a nightgown she needs hemmed, and bobby has pants for me to fix. Every time he gets new work pants, I add a patch to 2 places, as he gets rips there all the time from his equipment he carries- his flashlight, and something else. With the patch, the pants last him a little longer. He gets about 6 months out of his pants. (of course he has a lot of them….LOL)
No visits today. We are all disappointed. Because it was a holiday yesterday, Jhonny was called into work again. He will stop by, after work, so he can get some goodies, and get the clothes Tillie had for the boys for Christmas. Tillie is afraid Aizen is going to grow out of them, and doe snot want to wait any longer. Oh well.
I bet by now, Colleen has held her new Itty Bitty!!!!
Stay warm- my dinner is in the crock pot. Got up so early, I had to sit in the recliner for an hour after I had it all in there.
AdeleHi Colleen
So glad your Mom is better. that is a huge weight off your heavy brain….LOL
Heather was induced with Steph, so I know how bad that gets. I was induced with Hetaher- she was 2 weeks late. Strong, and fats, is what I remember. You go for 0 to 90 in about a second. I feel for Danyielle. must have had Itty Bitty by now. I hope everyone is happy, and healthy. You must finally know the name!! Do you remember with Aizen, it took a few days until we had a name? I just called him Itty Bitty Baby. I still call him Baby.
nobody is coming today. We are all disappointed. because of the holiday yesterday, Jhonny was called into work. He may stop by, when he is done, to get some goodies, and Tillie’s clothes that she has for the boys for Christmas, as it is getting too long.
I hope you do not get too much snow, because you have a lot of visiting to do!!
We are getting a storm on Saturday. They keep saying it is getting bigger- we will see. I guess I will be baking. Today I have the crock pot going, because it is cold, with a wind chill of 8. Yuck. Glad I am retired!
Congrats on the new Itty Bitty, as I am sure baby is here by now!!!
