December Determinators - Week 1
Good morning DDs.
What do I make in my crockpot...hmmmmm. Yesterday I layered chopped onion, celery, carrots, potatoes, topped with boneless skinless chicken breasts. I buy a crock pot packet (Italian Chicken Herb) at the store and mixed it with a big can of diced tomatoes, poured over the veggie chicken mix, and put on low for 10 hours. It was really nice to come home to a warm meal, and the men had second helpings. I recommend spraying the crockpot with oil for easy clean up.
Sped, Christmas shopping=stress to me. I had to go out at lunch (yes it is still snowing here) and buy mailing tape, wrap up a package last night, then stop at the post office this morning. Plus, I have not bought for the majority so it is not fun. I do like packages under the tree though. I am lucky, my husband will shop with me and he is a super wrapper, gift wrapper that is.
SD, you were honest in your communication and that is all you can do. I agree with Rusty, who said that not much can be expected emotionally from someone who is "quite a drinker." You have to do what your heart tells you, and protect yourself emotionally. But it is still hard, it would be easy if the people we love were totally bad, but I am sure your Dad and family have tons of good qualities too.
Chill, your roof is leaking? What a pain. In reading everyone's posts, I want you to know that the general consensus is, we believe in you. You will turn this situation around, you are already starting to plan, look at options, and move forward. You can and will do this, recreate your life. We all have to recreate ourselves over and over at different levels and seasons of our journey. It is never easy, we need support, and will have setbacks, but with perspective and determination it can and will be done. Whew, what a sermon. But I was just thinking about recreating our lives going AF. We are all doing this at some level. And if plan A doesn't work, we have to figure out plan B.
Guess what? It's still snowing, with a forecast of snow all day and a few more inches tonight. This weekend? More snow. That's what I get for moving to the snowbelt. It was so dry though through the summer and fall, we can really use the moisture.
So happy it is Thursday, closer to Friday. Have an AF day.
