Trying to be a little more light-hearted with my post...life does go on.
I put on a roast with mushroom gravy in my slo-cooker before heading to my sister's to do daily chores that she either can't or won't get to...leaving it alone right here...maybe.
Anyway, the roast turned out wonderful. Great with mashed potatoes.
We are missing our SloaneyGirl... Since she's now in daycare and I'm going out to take care of things at Ruth Ann's, we've missed seeing the grankids. Hopefully, Ruth Ann will get up and start moving...It's getting worrisome. She gets up alright but as she says to me,
"When I want to, now leave me alone"...
She's able now to do light housework but she's not doing it. Her Dr insist that she get up and start moving...to help her incision wound heal. It's been a month since surgery...long enough! The longer she puts off getting up, the longer before she'll start treatment! They started her on depression medication, but it'll take a while to kick in...hopefully it will help her attitude.
I've made her so mad at times... and she does get moving but stops when I leave. I'm mentally exhausted.
Hope you all are enjoying your week.
Stay warm or cool wherever you are.
Hugs
Donna

We just made pea soup in our slow cooker and it came out great. There is not much you can do when someone doesn't want to help themselves.
That plate of mashed potatoes and gravy looks SO good! And that sweet little one is so cute.
That roast and potatoes looks so good!
I'm sorry about the issues with your sister. It's not something you can make her do... :(
Sloan is just so cute!
Your roast and potatoes look delicious. I could go for a plate of that right now.
Sorry to hear about your sister. I know how difficult and frustrating it can be trying to help someone out and they do what they need to.
That meal looks scrumptious.
The meal looks lovely as always, as does that little cutie pie.
I am so sorry about the situation with your sister. Very difficult.

Girl I can smell that roast beef and gravy from here! Ugh that looks so delectable! I'm sorry about Ruth Ann ... sounds like she's depressed and I don't blame her. You have a lot going on. Deep breaths, my friend! xoxo
Oooh....the roast! YUM! I love "cold weather" foods....but we don't get that cold in TN...which is good....and bad. We don't crave cold weather foods as much. Or when we do, we are sweating after we eat it. Hahaha!
Oh, what to do about Miss Ruth Ann? On one hand, you want to see her succeed. But on the other...it's exhausting, physically and emotionally...for YOU. Can you talk to her dr and see if they can get her some counseling or someone to go in and assess her reluctance to take care of herself and her home? What a mess! I'm so sorry.
Hope things are going a little more smoothly today.

Do hope things improve, and so sorry. It must be very worrying. Your slow cooker meal looks wonderful, just the thing needed on a chilly day.
Happy Weekend,
Hugs
I'm sure you are missing your 'SloaneyGirl' so much, I do like the picture of her :)
Hoping things improve a little with Ruth Ann, not an easy situation.
Thinking of you.
God Bless.
All the best Jan
Hope things get better with your sister, that is a hard situation...maybe a few days by herself are in order:)
You have much on your plate...but among all that you're dealing with, please don't forget to take care of you. That is of most importance...breathe...relax...take time for you. :)
Oh my, your roast looks so good, Donna! Good for you in waiting for you in waiting on those pretty Christmas dishes
From your previous post, Thank heavens you went with Samantha to baby Sloane’s pediatrician visit. I’m with you!
I hope your sister does ok. You’re so great to help out.
P. S. I also agree with you on the jeans with the holes in them!
Looks delicious!
Your beef roast looks scrumptious, and lots of gravy to slather on those mashed potatoes....what could be more delicious.
Hopefully your sister will begin to realize that moving will help herself heal.

Oh Sloane, you look so warm and cozy in your hat all snuggled in your blanket. She is so precious. The mushroom gravy looks amazing. I think I could eat those mashed potatoes and gravy as a meal. I love mushrooms. I'm sorry things are so hard for your sister and you right now. I hope she heals nicely from her surgery and regains her strength. Everyone heals in their own time. Hang in there, my friend.

Yammie food …I do not know what is happened I think with your daughter but I hope it will recover soon love from me 🍀🙏🍀❤️
Please don't stress yourself out trying to get your sister to take care of herself more. You know you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink! You have to take care of yourself and make sure you're not stressing too much! Ok lecture over! The roast looks really good and little Sloane is absolutely adorable!
