I liked the salmon for the most part, but not sure if I personally would make it for myself again - Matt said the spices were a little strong for him - like really strong on top and bland at the bottom. So, this recipe will not qualify as a fish recipe that the family likes :(
On Tuesday, I took my mom to the social security office - she has applied for 3 different types of SS. I am now working with her case worker at job and family services to help her with medicaid, foodstamps etc. I also got her hooked up with a free cell phone through http://www.safelink.com/ - they give her a phone and free minutes monthly. I hope this helps me stay in contact with her while we get through all of these application processes. I then took here to get breakfast and get a few basic things that she needed grocery wise - she thought I was going to restock her place. I wish I could but I too have bills and food to put onto the table. I hate telling her no, but I just can not support her. Then she wanted ciggerettes - knowing that I had to take Grace to preschool I told that I just did not have the time to run store to store. Everytime she comes to the house she acts as if she is starving - maybe she is, and she is in dire need for that 'drag'. I do not smoke and from what I recall I have no addictions (except to chipotle - but being that I work from home now it is not readily available to me) so I do not know what it is like to 'need' something nor do I ever want to experience that. But, I also feel that if you can't afford it you just shouldn't do it. She basically puts the little money she gets monthly towards prepaid cell phone minutes and ciggerettes - not rent or electric or even FOOD. I can only do so much - but in my book ciggerettes are not a need its a want. Anyway - I hope this journey with my mom helps my relationship with her, but its truely hard at times. I feel that I can not bond with her because its like talking to my 4 year old.
I finally posted on my other blog - http://www.stampingwithbettyboop.blogspot.com/ check it out. I have decided that because I am behind on posting there I will need to complete posting to the blog 143 in 1001 days for me feel that I 'techincally' completed that task. Hopefully with all of the goals that I want to complete I should have plenty to choose from.
I really appreciate all of the support I am getting through this process. At least at this point I do not feel overwhelmed with this large 'to do' list and am starting to feel accomplished with things in my life - rather than just feeling like all I do is chase 4 kids around and work. I really don't have a lot of time for the things I want to do - rather I, at times just do not make the time. In any case - I am just glad this personal challenge is going well as it makes me feel good about myself.
