Well yea people are the source of lots of stress. Usually i can handle it. Right now the hormones are playing merry heck with me though too. Some days I swear i am not sure if I will survive this stage in my life. Just not sure how to handle everything. I feel like my sanity is slipping away at...

Well I typed a rant but I took it down. Just some hormonal venting I guess.

Family meeting went AWFUL yesterday. Everyone is so busy saying they are busy nothing is getting completed or planned out. So half the stuff they are doing will have to be redone AGAIN. I wanted them to sit down for 30 minutes and just plan out on paper what we need to do. Prioritize. Set some...

I had my doubts about the whole Dave Ramsey thing. In fact I had a financial adviser who advised me to stay away from him. Its crap and the man doesn't know what he is talking about. In following the financial adviser we ended up in bankruptcy. We invested money we didn't really have and lost...

So, its been 2 months since we put the hams up to cure. Our first hams ever. Chris says there is no bad smell or anything. We are thinking it of going out and pulling them down for a closer look. I am praying they come out well. We have a very old family friend who talked us through the...

I wonder how long you can go on abbreviated sleep. Sigh. I have too many battles on too many fronts. Not sure which one to hit next. I am still dealing with this hormone stuff on top of everything else. I really feel most of these physical things we face is dietary I swear. No meds just...

I worry about mom. Getting older and everything being in chaos is a bit hard on her. She lived in occupied Austria and grew up on stories about war and hard times over there. It was not a pretty time. The older she gets the more she seems to remember what her mother and grandmother talked about...

Anyone mind if I act like an insane person for a bit. Ok well check the news online and I see this nuclear threat. Blah blah blah same as usual but then I got to thinking. it could happen. We never thought 9/11 could. Now I am not about to start digging a hole to stick the family in or anything...

We have of course DE that we use for the chickens and such. Anywho last year my mom was so sick of picking bugs and finding wormy veggies that she had me treat all her plants with it. We even put some in the soil on a few plants where we had issues before. Of course when it rains its all over...

I just really am looking forward to the fresh beets and carrots. oh and zuccinni bread, and zuccinni pancakes, and cornbread and squash. I really can't wait till the fruit is ripe. I love eating blueberries right off the bush and well i just love blueberries but I WILL NOT pay those prices in...

I was so excited today. Until the garden is ready I cannot can my own veggies and some are just not in season so out of the can we eat. stuff like beets and tomato cause. Well today i found beats in a glass jar and they were no more expensive than what I had been buying in the can. i am trying...

Dad is mostly healed up. He looks a bit rough but no infection, just lots of pink skin and blotchy places where the hair won't grow back. He does have a unique look now but I am so thankful he was not more seriously hurt. It still haunts me a bit. I feel very responsible for my parents and they...

I have not tried any kraut. I struggle with cabbage at times. We don't always get along and I am not sure if the fermentation will help that. I tried to eat out again and paid for it. thankfully the activated charcoal does help. The effects were minimal this time. I took the charcoal with my...

My plan was withdrawl method. Honestly I prevent pregnancy this way for 5 years pretty successfully. BUT then I started early premenopause. Now the plan is for it to hurry the heck up so I don't have to have a plan. I agree abstinence would not go well with the hubbies and since mine does the...

Prayers get answered every day and mine has been. Dad went to the doctor today. Despite huge blisters over his entire face and neck. Despite them breaking open and him having raw flesh exposed. He is healing fast and no infection. They gave him silverdine today. HUGE container of it and a refill...

Well dad is feeling well enough to push the boundaries of common sense. He went out with my nephew to give the tractor a bit of maintenance. Trying me up the wall. Hubby got 3 ricks of wood cut yesterday and has probably 3 more waiting to be split and hauled in. All of it nice oak. It went down...

My Aunt in Austria made one similar but hers had pickles in there too. Not sure where that came from but I ate it and it was pretty yummy. It was just different than the American version.

Deb, they know they just don't care. I am the baby of the group. Everyone else was almost grown when I came along. Everyone just considers this my duty. I was born to take care of them so my siblings would not have to. My only irritation is when they call and fuss. I know its just us on this...
