38 years ago …tonight at 10:30 pm I gave birth to my first child . I remember not feeling well the night before and the hospital was over an an hour away so off we went .

Ha, at least at that age I was young (not a cripple who could barely lift anything or walk around the corner) so I spent the day playing frisbee and laying in the sun . I don’t believe I was ever forgiven that. I was 22 years old ..

As I did not have a job and was on hiatus from pre-med studies…thank Heavens …it was my idea t be rather safe than sorry so off we headed to the hospital. After 13 hours they told me it may be false labor and I replied I am not leaving without a baby. I remember walking the halls for hours in a blue silk robe …Finally , after 20+ hours of hard labor I was induced .Being on welfare I did not have insurance my and went through three shifts of residents .

Your first bath was given to you by me . LOL , she was born in Iowa and had black curly hair but for the apgar test she never left my side

The one who delivered her was the best . They had to do the Apgar score . I sent her father to check ..he is a Dr after all and it was very rude of me to give birth during hid finals so I had to AMA out the next day, probably less than 12 hours after birth .

She had jaundice and I would sit outside with her in the carriage when we arrived home and she was fine. My then ex said to me z’ your are the strongest person I have ever known , but that child is your weak spot. In losing her I would lose myself . He was right in that comment.

She hates me now but I did my best . When your father tossed you in your crib … had enough Lnowing you, I am fairly certain you tossed the bambi blanket that I hand hooked for you, with much love I guess you learned from your father to turn towards the money and not love for your own children. Such is your choice. We all have them ..sometimes the best decisions are not made. I could not forget today ❤

BTW, best birth experience at University of Iowa and how appropriate that

tshe made her way into this world d

while the Rod Stewart song “hot Legs” was playing …Unforgettable

Igave birth to three children and one can can and cook very well . My daughter thinks she can but she can’t. I know good food . Testamanet as to hoe badly her MIL cooks  She once challenged me to a Christmas cook off and she lost …more reasons why she hates me. I worked two to three jobs a week . HER MIL , stay at home could not cook at all and could not find love for her children. HE desperately wanted her approval and went to great lengths to it . Hope it was worth it

While this virus is swiftly seeping the country a resident in my county ha conducted this virus or never washes his hands , like my husband or his mother .

I was a pre-med student and wa first in my class. I have always been held by wash your damn hands and understanding ryour nails . God help me but my MIL used to bake cookies for my children and place them on uncleaned styrofoam , which held raw raw meat ….GROSS ME OUT

People like these spread diseases ..a sneeze, a cough …prooduce has always been vulnerable to Ecoli …workers go the bathroom without hand washing. I DON;T EVEN WISH TO EAT ANYTHING MADE BY MY SPOUSE …..Maybe we should all be reading up on sterilization techniques . I aced that class ..No one has been ever been made ill by a meal I cooked

It is never wise to cripple to cook, shopper, refinisher , doer . What happens when you are wed to an individual who watches cooking shows frequently but can’t actually cook. So it is that or take out .

Fortunately as a child , I spent a plentitude of time with Godmother Nettie , who was in my opinion , the cook of all cooks …sorry Emiral, Rachel etc. My cousin , who passed several years ago, hasd a restaurant In Clearwater Florida , name DTradewinds ,  RIP TOMMY

Since beinag A  dv victim with limited arm or leg use I haven’t really been able to cook that much. I used to spend three days doing a family Christmas …at least three veggies, 15 pounds of mashed and 5 pounds of  baked potatoes with cinanimon and apples ….freash cranberry sauce , Ham Turkey , cornbread stuffing with apples , pears celery and raisins..at least 7 homemade deserts including Mississippi mud pies and cranberry pie ( to name a few ) I had a very demanding job but I too those day s off for the holidays asa I entertained 30-40 people and everything was made from scratch .

I would like to note that my son @Hungry and Fit has by far cooked and served the best meals that I have had in years .

A few years weeks ago he was cooing vegan ravioli cand  said oka..meke the ravioli and then we will salute it with spices, sautéed arugula and added spices and raw red onion.e said this is like a restaurant meal …no crap …NEVER CrIPPLE the one who can do it all…Family Favorite recipe …Lentils and franks …finger down throat . I never had it ..thank God …This was the metamorphasis of Tucci Meals…EEEEKKKKS GROSS
