Uh San Antonio on lock down along with surrounding county's. We live barely in Bexar county so we are on lock down as of tonight. Dh says since he in the trucking industry he should be fine to keep working. But I am nervous about that one i don't need him arrested. Lock down last all the way to April 9th. No birthday parties for us. My friend who also in Bexar county was moving hopefully she can still do that as they due to sign on the house April 3rd. It will be over a month and a half since me and the kids left the house at that point. I might go crazy some. Anyways life goes on we got feed yesterday. Plan to finish the field fencing in front of us. Also plan to keep working on the garden i probably just had some rabbit manure and plant and call it done since we won't be able to get dirt. But oh well. Atleast we have saving if he isn't able to work however there is a bright side that means it postpones my parents moving in with us. They keep talking about my dad working with Dh and my mom thinks she going to lose her job and she then wants to come take over my house and I am about to draw a line . She wants to clean, cook and tend the kids for me and that my job as much has i hate cleaning still my job. Just saying And she isn't talking about just helping but making that her job... plus i really dont want to live in the same house i don't think it's a good idea.

Salt? Salt!
How the heck do you sell out of salt? Had a friend come over yesterday. She was stopping by the store and asked if I needed anything. I haven't been to a grocery store since early Feb. Since she was there, typical list:milk, bread, tp, ap flour, &salt (bought my current box mid-summer. She scored everything but tp, bread, and SALT. Tp, I've got about 7 rolls left. I make bread. But SALT? 3 stores she stopped at. All out of Salt. Other stuff I can kinda see the hoarders getting. But SALT? Shaking my head at that one.
BTW. Zero cases of Covid 19 in my county still. 7 counties in the state still clear.

See that my thoughts but what ever. The plan would be to move the all the kids back in the front room and have the middle room for my parents. But honestly there isnt room enough for us. I mean seriously. That has me more stressed then anything add into the fact me and my mother parent differently. And there gonna be some fights probably about everything. But if they both lose their jobs they can't afford their bills and they are about 70,000 dollars in debt with a truck, the roof, and irs. That not including dads medical bills with his bladdrr cancer treatments his physical therapy for his back. And possible surgery. 4 discs are his back are inflamed ad have spurs growing between them. It's just craziness on top of craziness and lack of sleep i am just trying not to think of it all ego hiding. Lol

That's a difficult spot to be in for sure with your parents. I'm sorry they are using your family as a safety net. Did you make the suggestion of them staying with you, or did they make this plan up on their own?

No, I have never tried it fresh, but one of these times I think I'll try it roasted on the grill. We love the cornbread it makes.

Dh talked about dad working with him and mom talked about him stay with us then her job got in trouble so now it's both they are talking about. And I am not sure how to tell then no if they in that much trouble. My dh has been planning on this because it's been off and on for years now. But he ok at with it but he never home i am here 24/7 and that a long time to be with my parents as an adult. There alot of past issue with them and down issues we had so makes me very concerned. Probably stressing to much over it.
