The taste was so bad that they added the cinnamon and ococa to kill the taste. They believed me.

Whew! I am almost through the weekend from hell. My sisters, spouses and I moved my elderly parents up here from FL. Of course, my mother does not want to move and her life has been in upheaval since my father got really ill in June. My dad was not excited but understood it was this or a nursing home in FL. This is the best solution PERIOD but my mom is just not happy and she is taking it out on my one sister. I try to buffer her as much as possible.

We put them on a plane and the things we thought were worth keeping in their junker car and my saintly BIL drove it up here with the agreement that we junk the car up here. Of course, it broke down THREE times on the way up from FL. So it took four days for him to make the trip. This upset my mother to no end and she is just a raving B. Her insulin is messed up, her sleep is messed up, she is legally blind, the move took four days instead of two to get her stuff here and she hates change.

Then it is more expensive up in Chicago than FL. I really really really cant help it that can goods are a nickel more here or that chuck roast is 75 cents a pound higher. My middle sister just took 12 weeks unpaid leave to nurse my father, my youngest sister and I were flying down there every couple weeks at a cost of 500 a trip plus the loss in pay so a few pennies a can for peas is pretty irrelevant when compared to nursing home costs.

We set them up here in a nice apartment decked out with everything either new or like new. I have spent the entire week in either Target, Walmart or Bed Bath and Beyond. I am exhausted.

Maybe next week, I can get back on track with eating properly. For now, since I got this out, maybe I will go with the Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich instead.....thanks.

We will buy 4 cases each and that is all we could eat until all the cans are gone. No other food just the chili. Who's in?????????
