Didn't do too much around the house today. Dominic came in and said what the heck is going on? It looks like a tornado came thru the kitchen. Actually, it was because I spent most of the day making a pot of chicken and dumplings. That is an all day affair! I started at 2:30 and we sat down to eat at 6:30. by the time I cooked and pulled apart the chicken then peeled potatoes and celery and in the end made the dumplings, its takes a long time. I am eating my second bowl here at the puter.
I have been reading Journals from JLand. I read Sugar's and Dana's.....and now I have been spending time on "My Country Life." What a way to live. On a farm with horses and animals. uh-oh, Romo just got sacked!! Oops, trying to watch football and type at the same time. Oh well, its too late in life to change it now. Actually, I wouldn't change my life. Its not the most exciting but we have it pretty good.
Phew, we went through rough years back in the beginning with money. We were just not making enough and there was never enough to pay the bills. And you know, when the kids needed or wanted something, that came first....with me anyway. And I have always been the one to handle the bills and money. Catholic school tuition was always a big chunk of money. But I don't regret it. (Well, maybe a little).
But now that the kids are grown and have families of their own, things are easier. Now I worry about Melody and Dominic and their finances. I knowit is hard when you are young. And I thank God that we never lived beyond our means. We still live in the little house that we bought when we were first married. We put on a small addition and now tht it is just the two of us and it is adequit.
