Home Cooking! & My Life!!

My Father who is 81 years old going on 82 in May, is such a pain in the butt at times;    Last Wed or Thursday he started having really bad pains in his lower back, I tried to get him to go see the chiropractor, but no he didn’t want too;

Then by the Weekend he could barely walk again and again I’ve tried to convince him he needs to go see his docotor or the chiropractor, SOMEBODY ANYBODY, now he’s so bad he can barely hobble across the floor we’ve had snow and sleet and now he’s so bad he can’t get into the truck, nor would he be able to get down into my car or get up out of the car you know?

***GROWL***

The man just makes me Mental at times I swear he does;   This is what he does he waits until he is so stinking “bad off” with any of his health problems then he winds up going to the Emergency Room or will have to be taken there by Ambulance, and I’m guessing its going to be by Ambulance this time around, but once again this morning I had to run to town and get him more pain patches he is using them up like eating M & M’s , its just crazy!!

But what do you do huh??   I guess I’ll see what things are like in the morning with him, I’ve no idea what he has done to himself, he says he has not fallen any recently but then he never does tell me the truth so I’ve no idea I’m guessing he has done something to his hip or lower back one or the other, the Crazy Man!!

Do you have a digital Camera?  Does yours eat the batteries??

I love my camera but I swear that thing just “eats batteries”, if I don’t take the batteries out of the camera when I am finished using it and if I leave them in the camera , the next time I get ready to use my nice little machine, the batteries are dead as a doornail!

Very very aggravating!   I use my camera a lot now, well more than I used too as I like to take photo’s of my recipes I fix, create, bake or whatever it is I am cooking so that I can use the photo’s along with the recipe I am posting here or on other sites I use;

I was fixing meatloaf today and wanted to take pics of it and wouldn’t you know it?  Darn stupid camera had ate my batteries cause dumb old me had forgotten to take them out once again;

They are so stinking high too these days ( the batteries) GEEZZ!

So I won’t be posting my meat loaf recipe today I’m just burnt out from the whole ordeal, (winter weather) blues and it just leaves me drained I swear it does;

I really need to practice more of what I say or preach you know? 

I just finished watching one of my favorite shows,

Joyce Meyer’s  I just love her, and afterwards I went down the hall to change my laundry around and I had the sudden thought  of Yes I need to be more thankful for the things I have, like my own washer and dryer, Be Thankful that I don’t have to drag and haul my laundry around to laundry mats to do it each week, Yes thank you Jesus & Father God that I have in my home a great washing machine and great dryer;  Thank you God so that I don’t have to do this outside of my home;

You know I have a really bad back and bad neck injuries, thank you Father even though I do on occasion gripe and complain while doing this weekly task I am grateful to have these here at my disposal to use as I need;

I think we all should say many thank you’s throughout the day

for all the many things we do have, things that help us out

with our daily chores even when we may not feel up to doing them;

So I shall try once again to be more grateful and say thank you!

Thank you , Thank you , Thank you I really am grateful for what I do have, and will try not to whine so much about the things I do not have;

It’s hard I know, but I will try to do better and try my best to be more grateful each day;

My cat Minx has been pining away for her two friends my two black labs out at the farm, so since the weather was strangely warm today I took her out to the farm so she could see that the dogs were fine;  LOL!

I swear I could make a movie out of those three, she just loves those dogs to death;   She was quite happy and content to be out at the farm this morning;   She is getting older and after she got sick back in November she’s been staying here with me in town in my home, which she loves to do too, and her daughter Screamer is here with me,  and wouldn’t you know it, she has been missing her Mother all day today, good grief!!

Once again she is sitting here beside me at the computer in her chair right off to my left, I have to keep petting her in between  sentences here otherwise I get a nice little “nip” on the underside of my arm while typing…  Bad Cat!  she is something else!

what would we do without our pets huh??  For me personally
I might as well be six feet under because I just cannot imagine a life without my babies or pets of any kind;

Every day when I get ready to log into my blog here I always get distracted by reading on other today.com blogs; 

Do you have this same problem?  

I don’t mean that in a bad way its a great thing really; 

There are  many many great Blogs on here with such a wide variety of things to read and enjoy; 

I’ve spent a couple of hours just going through blog after blog and I must say I find many of them so fascinating;

You’d be surprised at what you can learn by reading someone else’s life stories or personal interests or how or what they are doing to earn extra income daily;

So next time you are logging onto today.com, take a few minutes or a couple of hours and just start reading and searching out other blogs of interest;   Have fun!!  I know I am!!

I swear my cat Screamer can be the world’s best cat at times and yet on other days like today she is driving me “mad” at a very fast pace;

Every time I come in here in my room ( my computer room) she can be in the deepest sleep either on my bed or on my couch, and here she comes lickety-split and starts to “bug me” wanting attention;  She will stand up on her hind legs nudging my arms and nipping me on the soft underside of my arms while I try to type,  she will meow that sound she makes when she is wanting me to pet her, pick her up and hold her, she has specific sounds she makes and if you are a cat person you know what I mean (G)!

Like I said she has done this repeatadly today and I’ve no idea why she is like this I’ve fed her, I’ve held her and played with her like I do every morning but today is just one of those days when she absolutely will not leave me alone in here and since I stayed in here earlier today she got into my trash in the kitchen which she knows is a big NO NO NO, and her little butt got into trouble big time!!  LOL!   She knew she was in trouble too as she dashed under the bed and she started doing this “scream meow” she does when she’s in trouble like she’s saying I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY, MOMMA, I’M SO SORRY, while I’m trying to call her out from under the bed and telling her in my stern voice, SCREAMER

you are in trouble no matter how long you sit under there LOL!!!

Bad cat!!!    Lordy me you’d think it was a full moon again but we just had a full moon , little beast!!!

do you have cats that do this too???

Hey leave me a comment and tell me your story!!

Love her to death but not when she gets into the trash in my kitchen!!   GGGRRRR!!   yeah I know she was wanting more

“attention” from me while for heavens sakes I can’t pet her 24/7 the crazy cat, aka my black furry ding dong!!!

My Cats are so darn funny at times!!  

They play with the silliest toys like Q-tips, Yes Q-Tips my cat Screamer loves them every morning when I shower afterwards she knows her Momma is gonna be opening the drawer for her morning Q-tip, and she can’t hardly wait for me to finish using it, she flips a nut over them and my other Cat Minx who is staying here with me during the cold winter months since she got sick back in November, anyway both of them are just playing and being so silly this evening while I am “trying” to do my business there in the bathroom these two crazy cats are playing with the stupid q-tips Minx is outside the bathroom door and Screamer has her Q-tip in my tub and both of them are just going Nutso with the stupid things I can hardly do what I’m wanting to do in the bathroom because I’m laughing so hard at these two cats…LOLOL!!!!    So then I throw the empty toilet paper roll to Minx and of course she starts batting that thing up and down the hall and then Screamer gets in on the fun of it, and she jumps back into the tub and I know she is wanting me to throw the stupid toilet roll into the tub so like a good Mommie I bend over pick it up and toss it into the tub, she loves to play in the tub with well anything and she is knocking that stupid thing up and down the tub so loudly I start to wonder if my next door neighbor can hear this crazy camotion???   And Yes I’m still laughing at my cats and “snorting” LOL!  Good Grief!

And Now they are both being quiet while I sit here and type about them, I guess they are re-charging their cat batteries for later on tonight.

Do you have cats that play with crazy toys??

Tell me about it in the comments section I’d love to hear your story!

I realize that even though I live in Missouri, that there are many many other states with way worse temperatures than where I live, but I’m telling you what it’s been freakin cold out today!!!!   I am not a cold weather person, no thank you!!!  

Wind chills here this morning was a (-21-23) degree’s below zero!!! 

BBBRRRRR!!!!!!! Tonight is going to be another really cold one about a     -5 degree’s hopefully the wind will die down, that will help out a lot;  I honestly don’t know how those of you up north and North East stand the bitter cold I’d have to move I just could not stand it!  I feel so sorry for you all I really do!!!

What worries me more are all the animals outside, all the homeless people everywhere, all day today on the TV they’ve talked about how the shelters are open and are trying to get peopleinside;  It’s just sad no matter how bad we all think we have it, there is always someone out there with worse problems;  My utility bill runs high but I am thankful for a place to have , and to have heat;

I don’t like where I live but again I am warm and dry and on cold nights like tonight I’m very grateful to have what I do have!!!

I pray everyone survives these nasty bitter cold nights!!!

Pray for Spring!!  And Warmer days ahead!

Another great show tonight on Superstars of Dance

On NBC, and {{MICHAEL FLATLEY}}  you are doing an

AWESOME JOB as host as I knew you would be (G)!

Bernadette & Damien, I thought you two danced as beautifully and as powerfully as you always do, I’ve no idea what some of those “snarky judges” are thinking please don’t listen to them, both of you have won more awards and more Championships than they could ever imagine winning themselves!!   How dare they??

No matter the outcome of this show when its all over with,  Ireland there are many of us pulling for you,  I just myself cannot get into all that hiphop crap, I’d much rather be watching you “Irish Dance”

any day  of the week, Month, Year, LOVE YOU ALL!!!

I keep looking in the audience hoping to catch a glimpse of some of the “fans” of Michael Flatley & the troupes, any FLATHEADS OUT THERE IN THE AUDIENCE????  I’m sure there is (G)!  You lucky devils you!  I sure hear a lot of screaming going on, aahhh that brings back such good memories of my live shows I got to see!!

Wishing you all the very best Ireland!!!

AAahhh!!  There is nothing like a good home cooked meal right?  

I always feel that way , that’s how we grew up too, today I baked a nice sized Chicken, and made my homemade dressing ( stuffing) which I dearly love but now mind you , as good as it is I could’ve done without the three hour nap I had to take  LOL!!   I’m sitting here and I still feel “stuffed” like the breaded dressing and I didn’t really over stuff myself I don’t think so but I sure am full, no need for supper for me tonight unless its a bowl of cereal later (G).

Something “Light” mabye??

But don’t you just hate that “stuffed up feeling”  I do but it sure was good I meant to take some photo’s darn it but never remember to buy new batteries for that blasted camera of mine that just

“eats them” ( batteries) is what I’m referring too;

But I will someday I will put up here our family recipe on this great dish I know there are many various family versions on all recipes and that’s great but I love this one and I don’t ever see me changing it for another you know?

So that’s it for today?    My meal was great but I sure am stuffed!!
