Super Bowl What's Up?
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle"
GOOD MORNING OFF family!!!!
Got up this morning and it felt so good to see an empty hallway and then come into the living room and see only one box sitting there!!! The END is NEAR!!!!! LOL :-)
Rick's mom, daughter, grandson and brother are SUPPOSED to come see us in a couple weeks. Not going to hold my breath....if they come so be it. If they don't...well no skin off my nose...Its how his mother is. Rick is NOT her favorite Joe is and IF she NEEDS Rick well she would call him alot...but since we moved away...well lets say the calls are few and far between. He likes that and so do I. :-) Be interesting IF they do come here. Can't wait to see the $ store item she got for Rick for Christmas. Yeah that is what she spends on him. Nice huh? I know its the thought that counts but she lets him KNOW what she got for Joe. And I know it hurts Rick to know she spent alot on Joe and a buck on him. Sad. I try my best to make up for it but still it has to hurt deeply.
Making some white chili for the super bowl tonight. Smells sooo good right now and its just starting to get warmed up...can't wait til it is ready to dip into!!!!
Today is my oldest son's birthday. He is 41...omg how did he get that old already?? I am so proud of him and how his life turned out!! Happier yet that he got rid of that wife he had...so controling!! He has a very nice girlfriend and she thanks me alot for giving him life and that she met such a wonderful man!!! I hope they marry or atleast stay together for the rest of their lives!! Makes me happy just thinking about them together!! :-)
Well time to get Bandit outside again so best get going. Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them!!!!
HUGS
YAY Super Bowl Sunday!! I am not sure who I want to win...sorry to say neither are my favorites. I will have to listen to the pre game show and decide then.
Friends have been calling and wanting me to come and watch the game. I prefer to just stay home this year. I am still recovering and my breathing isn't the best yet. I cleaned the house yesterday and am aching today.
Trish....sure hope you can get your sleep straightened out. You need good sleep to heal!!
Pat...I wish you safe travels and a very happy life!!
Judy...so glad you are down to one box...wooohooo!! How can your son be 41 and you are 42???? Doesn't add up...LOL!!!
I have CRS this morning...can't remember who else I was going to post a reply to...darn I hate that!!
Wishing you all a really wonderful day!! Prayers for many!!
Love and hugs to all....connie d
The Giants are NFC East rivals to my Eagles, so I root for whoever they are playing. I'm not crazy about New England, but my son and I despise the Giants.
Hugs,

Trish, sorry you didn't sleep well. Hope it improves tonight.
Pat, Hope the move goes smoothly for you. Best of everything for you and your Bobby.
Judy, I know that great feeling of getting the boxes out and the home complete.
Ready for the Super Bowl. My chili is simmering on the stove. I tasted tested it last night. Pretty darn good. Oh, I forgot that Ellen wanted Cornbread. Must run and bake it for her.
Hugs, Mag Oh, Go Giants.
Just finished feeding my "boys" and washing up the dishes. Typically day laborers here get a per diem and a hot lunch. So whenever we hire them, I always end up cooking a big noon day meal, which is good for me today. Now I don't have to cook during the Super Bowl this evening. Today I served hamburger steak smothered in onion gravy, black beans, turnip greens, and gluten free cornbread (more on that in a minute, Marti!).
Juan is just the nicest fella and so polite! He's doing a good job for us today. I'm fixing to head up to the attic and start sorting through some of the junk up there. Juan will be the one to make all the trips up and down the stairs, so it won't be too bad.
I'm not a huge football fan, although I can follow the game well enough. Butch says we are rooting for the Giants. Okay by me. I'll be crocheting a baby blanket during the game, so I'll be happy. I told Butch we're having popcorn for our game snack. Gluten free, don't ya know!
So, Marti, I downloaded the Wheat Belly book onto my Nook last night. I've only gotten to read a couple of chapters, but I have to say, he does make a compelling argument against wheat! But the thing that struck me the most is all the "symptoms" that he has discussed so far are the exact things that my husband has been complaining about! Starting today, we are going gluten free. We had oatmeal for breakfast and that was good. I made gluten free cornbread to go with our dinner. And I've put together a grocery sack of wheat flour items out of my pantry to send home with Juan today.
I need time to do more research before I go to the store to stock up on new products, but hubby and I are pumped about trying this new diet.
So glad to hear from everyone today and see that all are doing well. Talk to you all tomorrow!
Love you all!
