Death in family
It started with H and her tragic suicide. Since then, I's houseguest 's mother died the day before Easter. Oh how I did not know how to handle it and I is not being his friend right now. He wants to live with me, but life in this house is changing. I need to do some teenage computer source on information for dilinquents. I am YELLING for the past coupled days. I am TIRED of doing everything here and everything is being taken away from them; tomorrow I need to move the toys into the garage behind the mattress. Time to see how the truly underprivledged live.
Margaret Thatcher passed--the woman listed as my favorite facebook when told she would not make much of herself in highshcool she replied "you are thwarting my ambition. She has her twins in Lawschool. She truly was the Iron lady--especially a lady.
On top of this bs with my girls, Dad has a heart attack. Mum called from CCH. He ended up needing surgery. Praise the Lord and prayers for his health. To much death.

I was asked to look at the numbers of calamities
since the death of my sister. I cannot come up with an exact number but they have been many:
J and J. I drove behind Publix where they were supposed to move and had a sense of melancholy. I am sorry to see them gone form my life. How I valued each as a friend it makes me want to cry. I seem to have this happen all my life and really want people to grow old with. I am finding problem after problem in the house: I lost the garbage disposal, microwave and dishwasher one after the other. I believe they were all broken when I got here. I try so hard and the issues just keep flowing. I am trying so hard to be available to each child and find that I need to just be militant. That and extreme coupons or supreme coupon as I said last night to the girls. They are very repentant considering how much less income there is right now from their actions an They are constantly being directed to chores they should be doing anyway. It is a real problem and I am going to have her evaluated.
Made dentist apt today, I still have to call in insurance info for three out of 8. Not to bad. Hmm I can not afford to pay for Gwen to go to the Dr this month or for her scripts. I wonder how I will mange. I am ebaying school clothes next since the boys have so many khakis.
My health is declining. I need to make an apt with my PCP and be referred to a GI or go to the hospital and get something for the pain gut is holding all my stress. I guess I am that one in six. The world is slowly starving.

Ginger Carrot Soup
Recipe courtesy Maxine Bonneau- Prep Time:
- 30 min
- Inactive Prep Time:
- 20 min
- Cook Time:
- 45 min
- Level:
- Easy
- Serves:
- 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sweet cream butter
- 2 onions, peeled and chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 cup whipping cream
- Salt and white pepper
- Sour cream
- Parsley sprigs, for garnish
Directions
In a 6-quart pan, over medium high heat, add butter and onions and cook, stirring often, until onions are limp. Add broth, carrots, and ginger. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until carrots are tender when pierced.
Remove from heat and transfer to a blender. Don't fill the blender more than half way, do it in batches if you have to. Cover the blender and then hold a kitchen towel over the top of the blender*. Be careful when blending hot liquids as the mixture can spurt out of the blender. Pulse the blender to start it and then puree until smooth. Return to the pan and add cream, stir over high heat until hot. For a smoother flavor bring soup to a boil, add salt and pepper, to taste.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with dollop sour cream and parsley sprigs.
*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
