My leukemia's back.

YEA! The acceptance on your offer on the new house came through!
How is Echo?? (This isn't medical advice but on a scale of 1-10 for migraines, my dd had 8-9 migraine for weeks on end. She hated meds as they totally knocked her out. She went to having an occasional glass of regular Coke. She says it regularly helped her out especially if she could feel it coming on. God finally healed her totally! She still gets headaches but not migraines.)
Everyone staying warm?? Breathing ok? Rachel, could you ask for help packing from your church? And would someone in your church have a loaner truck for a few weeks? The God who owns the cattle on the hills definitely knows where a truck could be borrowed or given or bought!

Yes, I really like my new job! And yes, my family is figuring out how to work things without mom the taxi driver, mom the cook, mom the receptionist and appointment maker, mom the College advisor and copier, maid, etc. You can pray for DH though! LOL. The rules have changed and he isn't so sure about me working 30+ hours and being gone from 8 am to 7 p.m. Last night he said I needed to make sure that I made plans to have crock pot dinners, casseroles, etc for me to cook when I got home about 7:00 p.m. because he doesn't like doing the cooking, not to mention fitting everything else in during his time working from home. I said that everyone needs to pitch in more. He also said he really doesn't want me working 2 jobs, to drop one of my jobs and for me to work only 20 or so hours a week.

Well, then my spunky 17 y/o dd said it was good that he started to cook and that she, and her brother, could also cook. Dh was not thrilled about that statement. He is really having a bit of a hard time adjusting!

Meanwhile he just confessed that we are going to be 1500 short this month. Just about the amount I should make this month... hmmm... let's do the math... nope, don't think I'll be quitting 1 of my 2 jobs any time soon.

So if it's -44, just how do you keep chickens warm??? Just the thought of it is enough to make me shiver (so says she as I cuddle up with a heating pad and my computer...)
You guys made me hungry at the mention of french toast and bacon! Now wish I had bought some from Sam's club today.... Maybe waffles in the morning, well, in 5 hours when everyone else gets up???
Any action with ice fishing , Phil?
Stay warm, you guys!

Too bad about husband not liking doing the cooking ! I retired first, and have been cooking for the Princess ever since. Glad that things are 'working' out for you. Sounds like the kids 'get it'.
 
Good for you Sour. Princess is blessed to have a hubby who does not assign gender roles.

Other than our core values, the Princess and I are VERY different people - think the hermit and the Rockette. "We accept one another and have always provided one another a safe place from which to live our lives. She is the one person who has always had my back even if it means an appropriate attitude adjustment at times. Trust me when I tell you that I am the one who is blessed.
 
You and the Princess are lucky people to have found each other Sour.

The way I describe our relationship is to say that without her I would be mired to my knees in quicksand, and without me she would be floating somewhere in the stratosphere. Together we float about six inches above reality. It works - in spite of those who said it never would.

hb, so good to hear from you!

I'm glad you're liking your job(s). Having that purpose is a great thing, even when it tends to make life crazy.

You know, a man can use the crockpot just as easy as a woman can......just sayin'

. Crockpots are wonderful things, for sure!

Kids can cook just fine also. Meals don't have to be gourmet all the time. Lots of quick and easy things, and still healthy, can be done by novices. We all have the internet, so many ideas out there!


sourland, you honestly make me tear up when you talk about your marriage. We as a culture need more role models like you. I know, you probably don't think you do anything special, but when you look around, you're pretty unusual. Thank you.
