This is my Epic Meatball Stew. I made it for dinner again yesterday since it was such a big hit. Everyone loves it except for my hubby( but he doesn't "count" since he's such a picky eater anyway). This time I doubled the recipe though to get more and so it will last longer, and the secret to it's yummy goodness is in the sauce and with the spices I use. My Epic Meatball Stew is legendary in our house, along with the 20 YR old's Famous Chili and the 18 YR old's Little Potatoes, and I also just love and go wild for the 25 YR old's Mashed Garlic Potatoes. I was also telling the 12 YR old to start on his schoolwork and my mother got mad an furiously screams in my face, You shut your face!! (and no matter how old you are, even when you're 53 and your mother is 78 it's just demoralizing to have your mother all up in your face and screeching at you like that) and I reminded her to stay out of it, that it didn't concern her and to mind her own business and stop interferring with my kids! The 12 YR old also had to help her with her taxes too because he's a little Einstein.
I also just noticed that half of my eyebrow hairs are gone now; they just somehow fell out on their own! It's the outer half, the thinner parts closest to the ears. So now it looks like I only have half eyebrows! WTF? I wonder if it's due to some skin condition maybe or some auto-immune thing, perhaps linked to my RA? I look freaky, like some sort of alien or something but when I go to church I can always pencil it in.My hubby is bugging about wanting to sell the house again too, to unload it before it completely falls apart and just ends up condemned and boarded up but we can't afford to move and then he gruffed that he'll just have to wait for both my mother and I to die off and that neither of us will be here in 10 years anyway. What an asshole! He won't be getting the house anyway since it belongs to her and I and then it gets passed on to the kids, to be divided equally among them. The Culligan Man was also here yesterday to put in our new water filtration system.
Sunday night one of my cousins' in Europe's father died as well (I didn't say my "Uncle" as he was actually her step-father who married my aunt when she and her brother were kids) while at his winter villa in Spain of a heart attack so now she's in Spain(luckily for her only something like a 2HR flight or so as she's already in Europe so everywhere is close-by) for the details and his funeral is tomorrow. It's so sad and my heart breaks for her but he was also really lonely and sad since my aunt died a couple of years ago so now they'd be reunited again( maybe he even died of a broken heart?) and she'd be there waiting for him, and a Facebook friend's dog died too; he was 17, and it's funny how we're opposites,too; he's pro-gun and pro-military( typical American!) and I'm not yet we really get along well, proving that you can still be friends with people who are different than you and have different beliefs, and yesterday I felt the worst I have in months too and felt like I reached a critical "turning point" too, only in a bad way( and today I still feel like shit) really dehydrated and hardly peeing(must be my failing kidneys again) really sore back, joint and muscle pain, headache, fever, abdomenal and stomach pain,completely washed-out and I'mpretty sure I had another seizure the other night in bed,too...
I also hope my kids will one day understand that with me growing up and thru my entire life never really feeling loved, wanted, or accepted that it also affected my ability to bond with them, as well as my Asperger's affecting my ability to inter-act with and relate to people in general, and that we are all victims of our circumstances and traumas.
