Sick and sick of it.

I have been sick so much even I am disgusted with me. This cold weather makes my hands draw up like a claw and my feet scream like razor blades are cutting them. I have been sick so much not many even notice any more and so I a depressed even taking my anti depressant. How on earth do I get off of this not so Merry-go-round and I do I make myself feel better when others act like they don't believe I am really ill? My feet hurt so much sometimes I almost want to always stay in bed and that is something I am really tired of. I miss everyone so much. I know I am so blessed with so much already but just pleasing health for a long while would be nice, not perfect health just pleasing would be good. I have been looking for that store but I can't find it you know: the "body" shop.

    Most of you know what has happened. I have a giant egg on my jaw that is black and blue. I also have one on my left foot. My right hand is swollen and starting to show bruising up towards the elbow and down from the shoulder. I have a large bruise on my right hip and feel basically like I have been through a bad car wreck. I also had more spinal shots today do I am basically sore all over, finding it hard to do much of anything but sleep. David needs prayers and contact so that he knows what real Christians do. Vanessa needs help understanding she must insist he gets treatment and complete it, for violence and medications.

Green bean casserole

Several have asked for my green bean casserole so I thought I would put it here.

I usually use Green Giant Kitchen sliced beans, it doesn't work well with French and this recipe is enough for 2 adults and 2 children. This recipe can have so many variations it is wonderful: you can put in fresh or dried onions, bacon bits, tiny cubes of ham, whatever is to your taste. You can also drain both cans and add back the equivelent amount of chicken broth as water in one can. I really like Velveeta better because you don't stir in in and the kids used to love getting a little bit of the cheese on a crouton. There are also so many types of seasoned crutons that you can make yours to your own taste or even make your own croutons. Enjoy!
Rachael's Green Bean Casserole

2 cans of green beans (1 drained) 1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup of seasoned croutons
1 13/4" block of Velveeta or 1/2 jar of cheeze whiz

combine all in a casserole dish and cook at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly. Then sprinkle top with whatever you want below is what I have used:

French Fried onion rings
slivered almonds or pecan bits
crushed potato chips or Ritz crackers
bacon bits

Hard times.

Well it seems like it is happening again, so many times Berk has been laid off, the company closed down, etc. I am happy it brought us here but now I am scared it could take us away. I keep thinking we have had it happen so many times, surely it won't happen again but it has. There are only 3 people left at the company and Berk will be last because he has to clean the computers of any info. and sell as many of the assets as he can. There are absolutely NO jobs on the horizon in the Atlanta area, so he is looking anywhere. I covet everyone's prayers that he finds a good job here. The Lord has always been good to us so whatever is His will. Still it is scary not knowing, wondering and Berk is under so much stress, it is really getting to him.

Today 11/20/08

I spent all day yesterday with Nicki at the hospital. Late in the day they decided she needed blood and I did not want to leave her alone, not knowing if she might react, (meds were already making her itch), so I waited for Ricardo to get there. It took a lot longer than we thought for them to finally bring the blood, Ricardo had gotten there and I had left. I had been very aprehensive because the last time I saw blood flowing I passed out, (1972,lol), though I hated to miss church. I am so glad she got so much better from it and is home. Today I fixed them a meal and Graceyn and I took it over. I am as tired as I can be and my feet are telling me about it but, NEWS FLASH, I do have a life, I am not glued to this house, Thank you so much, Lord.

On the other hand it is so disheartening Graceyn still won't call me a name of any kind and parents don't make it mandatory. I am grateful she is here and that she loves me. We found some cheap foam crafts at Michael's and we do them together and we love it. Can't get her to sing Bible songs but working on it. Any and all with advice sound off.
