today has been hectic. last night my sil came over and helped with the invitations for the wedding shower. we're having that march 22 at OUR house. that means the house has to be clean. lol! today i picked up some chicken from fareway and had to package it and stick in the freezer. we are 2 people and we have 2 freezers that are stuffed. we have to start eating what we have. i put up 40# of chicken today; 20# of boneless chicken breast and 20# of chicken hindquarters. bruce likes those and i like them to make chicken and dumplings or something for him. they make a richer broth. kelly and mark are coming home march 17th-23 and i don't know if we'll be able to see them or not. bruce has the petroluem marketers' convention in nebraska the 16th and 17th and the next 3 days i have to get ready for the bridal shower. so it might be tight scheduling. mom really wants to see them but she really needs alot of prayers. she's been hurting so much in her back and such. she actually let the doctor put 2 shots in her back tuesday. she has to be really hurting if she let him do that. she's been taking those strong pain pills and they're alot of times not touching the pain. so please keep her in all of your prayers.
