Meal Planning Monday

This week is shaping up to be as crazy as the rest of the month, so I've got a flexible plan for the week. We'll see how it goes though :)

Monday: Chicken Enchiladas with rice and beans
Tuesday: Soy sausage and spaghetti squash with feta
Wednesday: Chili
Thursday: Chicken with zucchini and quinoa
Friday: Ahi tuna steaks and bean salad with broccoli

Meal Planning Monday

Well, it's Monday again. And needless to say, we're broke again :) Added to the brokeness, we had to take Chas to the ER yesterday for another allergic reaction like the one he had in June. Not as severe this time, but still enough for a shot of nasty steroids to combat the problem. Needless to say, his new insurance through Chatham is terrible, so the copay was steep. So all this aside (he is okay), we do much better financially when I plan out the meals for the week. Plus I am less likely to be scratching my head at dinner time and asking the question "What's for dinner?" and getting starred at blankly. So here's a go on our very plebian menu for the week...

Monday: Hamburger gravy and mashed potatoes with peas
Tuesday: Corned beef and cabbage, boiled potatoes
Wednesday: Potato soup and sandwiches
Thursday: Beef and barley veggie soup
Friday: Fish Fry Friday

Of fangs and such things...

After a terrible, miserable, no-good night, we awoke this morning to a diva as decided cranky as she was the night before. I was worried that we could have a cold or an allergy issue since she was at a new sitter's house last night...but as I was talking on the phone to Mom about her disquiet, I commented that it wasn't teeth. And at the same time, like every day, I swipe my finger over her gums to check, just in case, and lo-and-behold! Teeth! In multiples! Both bottom baby fangs are coming in simultaneously. No wonder the poor thing hates the world today :) So she's sleeping it off right now and I'm wishing I could do the same. But...nothing says "ring off the hook, telephone" like a momma that desperately needs a nap. So here I sit, in the silence of a sleeping diva and the glare of the screen, looking for diaper deals.

Yup, I know. I'm hooked. Who would have thought this would become such an obsession!
