Good early evening to you all.

Kids had school off today due to snow.  We only got about 2 or 3 inches but the weather people said travelling was terrible so all of the schools in my area closed.  Not sure if they will have it tomorrow or not.  

A car going down the road in front of our house slid and took out our mailbox.  It was a young man and he was going too fast for the road conditions, but, he stopped and came to the house.  I heard the crash and thought it was a car crashing.  He offered to pay for the damage but Dean said he would fix it and thanked him for coming to admit it.  He was shaking pretty badly, so Dean felt bad for him.  Hopefully, he learned to slow down in these road conditions. He was in a giant truck, of course.

I am making baked chicken and gravy and mashed potatoes for supper.  I was going to make it yesterday but the kids' mom picked them up early so I did not.  They were disappointed that they did not get to have dinner.  Gabriel loves mashed potatoes.  

I have a quilt top to finish, but have not been sewing for a while once again.  I do it is spurts.  

Take care all.

Happy Birthday Linda!  I hope you had a great day.

22 MEMBERS WERE AT THE CHURCH MEETING LAST NITE.  MR. SMITH AND MRS. DANVERS SANG A DUET, "THE LORD KNOWS WHY."

I CHECKED MY CALENDAR THIS MORNING.  NO MORE SPECIAL DAYS FOR OUR LADIES THIS MONTH.  
ITS COLD AND SUNNY AGAIN.  NO SNOW TODAY.

I MADE THE SAUCY GROUND BEEF AND NOODLE CASSY LAST NITE.  ITS A GOOD ONE.  I NEED TO ADD IT TO MY BLOG.  FUNNY THING ABOUT THAT BLOG.  I KEEP FORGETTING TO ADD TO IT.  MOSTLY BECAUSE I HAVE SO LITTLE TO POST BUT I KNOW THE RECIPES ARE SOMETHING OTHERS CAN ENJOY IF IT HAS PICTURES.  I HOPE TO REMEMBER TO TAKE PHOTOS AS I COOK.
I AM MAKING A NEW HAMBURGER SOUP TONITE WITH BOTH FRESH AND CANNED VEGGIES.  IT WILL ALSO USE THE SMALL SHELL PASTA MY SON BOUGHT ME IN ERROR.  I OFTEN USE THE MEDIUM SIZE IN MY DISHES.  THIS NEW ONE SOUNDS TASTY.
I GET MOST OF MY CASSEROLE RECIPES FROM 3 YOUTUBE SOURCES: THE HILLBILLY KITCHEN, CATHERINE'S PLATES, AND MEME'S RECIPES.  THEY FEATURE SOME TASTY AND EASY RECIPES IN CASSEROLE FORM.

MY DAY TODAY WILL MEAN COOKING THE NEW HAMBURGER SOUP, BROWNING MY SAUSAGE FOR MY TATER TOT CASSY TOMORROW, AND GRATING THE CHEESE FOR THAT CASSY.
I HOPE TO GET IN SOME JIGSAW TIME AND THERE'S ALSO MY LAPS THAT NEED DOING.
MY DAUGHTER IS COMING THIS WEEK TO SCRUB MY FLOORS AND MY OVEN.  ITS ONLY THE DOOR OF THE OVEN THAT NEEDS ATTENTION.  I USE LINERS IN MY OVEN TO KEEP IT CLEAN.  THEY ARE A MARVELOUS FEATURE.  I ALSO LINE MY ELECTRIC BURNERS WITH ALUMINUM FOIL FOR EASY CLEAN-UPS.
THESE DAYS I FIND LITTLE STRENGTH IN MY ARMS SO SCRUBBING MY FLOORS IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME.  I NEED TO GET SOMEONE YOUNGER.  I WAS GOING TO HIRE A SERVICE FOR THAT BUT MY DAU SAID SHE'D DO IT.  OF COURSE I WILL PAY HER.  SHE SAYS 'NO' BUT I SAY 'YES.'  I WON'T HAVE HER TOILING FOR NOTHNG.

THAT'S ABOUT IT LADIES.  I HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL TODAY.  HUGS QB S

Afternoon y'all! 

Monday the 6th was back and forth with the person that sent us the email to pick a rehab.  Asked if she had any idea as to when this would happen.  She said no.  So I went home at 3 something to eat lunch finally, and get a call that she is being moved, at 4:30.  I drop everything, ate junk, jumped in the car to rush back to the hospital to pack mom up.  I packed everything and headed to the rehab facility, get a call that they are delaying transport til 5 pm, 30 minutes, no big deal.  I got to her room and unpacked, set stuff up, such as it was, and got a list of stuff to bring to her.  I sat in a very uncomfortable chair for well over an hour, left at about 6:15 and they had not even picked mom up yet.  As I left I told staff I was going home, to be told they just got there to pick her up, and the nurse just got report, to which I said, I still have to make supper, I am a diabetic and can't wait for hours!  So over all of this.  Staples came out today so rehab should progress better.  

The last 3 days they put her in a wheelchair, she does better out of the bed, thankfully!  She is still very confused.  Nobody is telling me anything!  I ask for updates, get told, that this or that department will call me to get no call!  Today, I got a letter for a care-plan meeting on the 29th?!?  She will be close to discharge by then, why have the meeting, shouldn't it be now, with maybe a follow-up on the 29th?  

All I feel like I am doing is running in a circle and going nowhere!  

I did finally get mom's Canadian retirement changed to this address and the local bank!  I also found checks for the Canadian bank!  Very scary!  But a major accomplishment!  Not a lot of money, but she will need whatever I can get to pay off the hospital and doctors offices! 

I'm getting texts about the bills!  Then I can't find them in my email, because it was in a text! 

The kids are doing fine!  Luke, just got his Mississippi drivers license and registered to vote there!  Things are progressing for him.  

Sara is status quo, the countdown is on, done in 11 months!

Alex is updating his resume.  His salaried job was just made hourly, he saw the writing on the wall! 

Me, I took a mental health day, didn't visit mom or do anything I didn't want to do!  I started the curtains for Alex's condo bedroom.  One panel done, will make the other this weekend so he can hang those up.  The kitchen ones should be easier to make, not as big, barely 2 feet long!  

 Hubby is doing his best to keep me from throttling these people!  He understands my frustration!  Does his best to talk me down.  So far so good, I'm not in jail, so it must be successful!  

Later my Friends! 

Linda, happy birthday! Sorry you and Darrell both have Covid. Have you heard of Ozzie Rolls? The You Tube channel said they are popular in northern Virginia. I have the recipe to make them when I'm up to par. 

Cheryl, how nice of that young man to stop and admit his guilt. Nice of Dean to offer to fix it himself.

I made "copycat" Chickfila chicken noodle soup today. It is awesome and I can't tell the difference in theirs and mine! Got the recipe on You Tube. I did use the Mafalda noodles and they were expensive! Can't wait to see what Greg thinks tomorrow. We always get the soup as our side item.

Theresa, so sorry you are dealing with all this with your mom. On a positive note, your kids are all doing well!
