It's on to Tuesday

Yayyy Monday is over....and it wasn't such a bad day on my end.   Worked and made a trip to the store but that's about it.   My 17 yr old son is very sick.   I called the Dr and they told me they thought he was ok to jus****ch at home for the night and maybe to bring him in today.  We'll see how he's feeling when he wakes up.  We're thinking it's the H1N1 but who knows.   Made a pot of homemade ham and bean soup yesterday and it was very yummmy!   Tonight is more of the same....need to figure out what to make for dinner yet though.  Nothing really on the agenda but tomorrow is my day off.   Well, I think I'll be up working some OT but I can do that at my leisure no set hours. 

Court I hope the teenage drama calms down for you.   I'm realizing it's so much easier to have a teenage boy in the house than it was a girl uggghhh.  

Jamie,  I miss you!!   I hope things are going well for you and you're just really busy.  I hope your hubby and Hunter are well also.  Just know I've been thinking about you all.

I will try to get a chance soon to post some pictures of Sadie's bday and Halloween.

Jaime, you have been on my mind too!!!!!  Miss you.

Michelle, from what I understand boys are a lot easier to deal with than girls.  Ham & bean soup sounds yummy!  What is your recipe?  That is funny as I have been craving soups lately.  Thinking about some sausage & potato soup for one night this week.  We shall see if that happens or not.

Not much going on today.  At work as normal, counting the days til next week's vacation time.  Trying to figure out a few little day trips we can take around some of the house chores we want to complete.  Definitely hoping for some relax time to get out of the funk I have been in.  Tonight is girlie night and we will probably just have a quiet night at home.  Hope you have a great one!

 

LOL I am soooo not a recipe girl.   I never follow a recipe just throw stuff in a pot and let it cook.   For my bean soup I cooked the ham bone for a couple of hours first to make a good soup base....took the meat off from it...threw in a little more ham....put in the beans some onion, some carrots....and seasoned it....salt and pepper mostly.   I let it cook on low on the stove pot all day while I worked.   It was good.   DH doesn't like soup much but he had it for dinner last night.   The leftovers are all mine....I'll probably have it for lunch today and then freeze the rest for other lunches.   I love good homemade soups.  I could use some more good recipes as well....I'll torture DH off and on and make soup. 

so do you just cook it in water?  how much?  what kind of beans do you use?  :)

Sorry Court...would be nice to know those things eh??   I used navy beans a 1 lb bag and I started the ham with about 12 cups of water and by the time I added the beans it was probably down to about 8 cups or so.   Somewhere between those two amounts.   Like I said I never follow a recipe LOL.

Hi ladies.... Yes, I have been MIA.... ALOT!!!!!  **Warning****   LONG......

Been busy with work, filling-in for a guy in the warehouse, he had his #2 baby on the 30th.  His first boy!!!  He will be out, and coming back next week.
My emotions have been running high, and I have been fighting the DEPRESSION monster because of all of the medical/female stuff.  (going in to talk to another doctor about possible hysterectomy) I had my DR appointment re-scheduled on me, it was originally for 10-14... they called me 9-28 to tell me the doc would be out od town... OK... fine.  so, I re-scheduled for 10-29.  I worked all morning/afternoon, left work at 2:00, just to drive to Anchorage to get there, was over 1/2 way, and they called my cell phone to tell me she had an emergency to tend to & would be out of the office the rest of the day **now remember, we are short-handed at work too** So, I was PISSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEDDDDDDD off, just trying to be civil to the lady on the phone was very difficult.  I told her that I had already been re-scheduled ONCE!!!!  And I asked since I was already 1/2 way into Anchorage.... I would wait for her, and if I could have a late appointment with her.  I was told no.  So, I then said (trying to be civil, but struggling with it) well, when can you get me back in?  Her answer was DECEMBER 16th!!!!!!!!
No ****!!??  I was beside myself!!!!  I told her I would "take what I could get"
So, I get off the phone, I had pulled off the highway while I was on the phone with the doc's office.  I then called my DH & vented (said to him I was so pissed off I could Not See Straight)
Talked to him for a minute, then, turned around & headed back towards home.
I decided that I did not want to go to that doc...... so I called my regular gynocologist (she is semi-retired, so she gave up her hospital privilidges long ago) talked to the nurse & vented... nicely.  I have known the staff fo over 9 years.  I asked if my doc referred anyone else & she said yes... faxed all of my records to the other doc's office & I have an appoinment next Monday.

Long story short..... HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

Life will get better, after these appointments!!!!  But, my PCP nicely called me in some xanax too.  that is helping... I take one in the evening when I get home.

I am here, just been BUSY with work & frustrating LIFE!!!!
DH & Hunter are doing good & Halloween was a Blast!!!!!!



Michelle & Court
Thank YOU!!!!!     STILL NO SNOW!!!!!!  It is in the forcast for tomorrow, though.

Sorry you're having a tough time Jamie.   I totally understand you not being here...was just hoping you're ok.   Hopefully the new Dr will get you in and take care of things right away.  We have no snow on the ground yet...we've had it snow a few times but nothing sticking yet.  It's supposed to be up in the 50's this weekend though.   Weird...I'm hoping for no snow til just before Christmas...yeah right!!
