It was a busy weekend, and I procrastinated. It was a difficult week because I was sick along with both of the kids. Now I know WHY I menu plan. It makes things so much easier. Being sick and trying to figure out what to eat was not fun. My hubby kept saying, "What's are we having for dinner tonight.....I thought you usually have it planned out!". I learned my lesson, so here we go -----<br /><br />Monday - tortellini bake, salad<br /><br />Tuesday - pork chops, potatoes and corn<br /><br />Wednesday - soft tacos, rice and ?veggie<br /><br />Thursday - homemade waffles and bacon<br /><br />Friday - hubby is taking me for my birthday dinner at the Prospector Steak House - the kids will be eating at my parents<br /><br />Saturday - breaded chicken breasts, noodles and salad<br /><br />Sunday - chicken broccoli casserole, rice and salad<br /><br /><br />For more menu ideas, visit <a href="http://orgjunkie.com/">www.orgjunkie.com</a>.<br /></span>Mrse123http://www.blogger.com/profile/07953190123207106541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677091487162843666.post-44375980154107913022010-02-15T14:10:00.000-08:002010-02-15T20:04:55.546-08:00Menu Plan Monday - February 15, 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVDpwVQnC6s9CBwcfd0b7WJzDPxHzYm4y2Y-r61YH7cJM2xN0WxaktBpl7TvvmBQ9KnpX9gXMHPsLbj0jI-W6zTrv9CJzah_YajMejDJoTQ6FTGfv86wzQIOFrwT927gHnVn-iz3Xroyw/s1600-h/menubutton.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 131px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVDpwVQnC6s9CBwcfd0b7WJzDPxHzYm4y2Y-r61YH7cJM2xN0WxaktBpl7TvvmBQ9KnpX9gXMHPsLbj0jI-W6zTrv9CJzah_YajMejDJoTQ6FTGfv86wzQIOFrwT927gHnVn-iz3Xroyw/s200/menubutton.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438598558854563154" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Last week's menu plan only had a few changes - we switched up Saturday and Sunday.

She only had a few bites and within 5 minutes she started getting hives on her face.....it progressed to her eye being swollen shut. We cleaned off her highchair and washed her hands and face and thought we would just watch.....make sure she didn't get worse. All of a sudden she started scratching and pulling at her tongue. I packed her up and off to emergency we went.<br /><br />We were brought in right away. The nurse said she was doing fine, there doesn't seem to be any swelling in her throat. They were going to give her medication by IV but I overhead the doctor and nurse taking about possibly giving it to her orally.....I piped up then and said ORALLY please! So, they gave her some Benadryl and steroids. We had to stay for a few hours so they can observe her.<br /><br />My darling little girl was an angel. She played, flirted with the doctor and male nurses and was just content. I had packed a bag quickly for her (toys, diapers, bottle) but because I was so panicked, I forgot it at home. The nurse gave me a bottle of Enfamil but Kayla would not take it because she is now used to 1/2 formula and 1/2 milk. She was tired and hungry. At about 9:45 pm (2 hours past her bedtime) she had a meltdown. She started screaming. She just wanted to sleep.<br /><br />Finally the doctor came in again at 10:30 and said Kayla was looking good, her vitals are great and because she wouldn't eat, we were able to go home. They normally observe for about 6 hours, but he would let us go.<br /><br />This was the scariest thing ever! Thank God my little munchkin is okay!<br /><br />So.....NO FISH FOR YOU!<br /></span><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div>Mrse123http://www.blogger.com/profile/07953190123207106541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677091487162843666.post-27536171474936889952010-02-09T06:10:00.001-08:002010-02-09T06:22:28.733-08:00Menu Plan Monday - February 8th<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3t03bZQNcn-ljn06tMnqRcpkFe3LU0cZhJUxKOzHzY2sy3YpeLsV_GZCbPgtVp2xI71cgRQb87Eqiqsd5FG4o-C0fLF7E-B6y6a9D-lORCmOXMte1fSsuQqh1CBF_sKqrGNNwilMYF_U/s1600-h/menu.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 137px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3t03bZQNcn-ljn06tMnqRcpkFe3LU0cZhJUxKOzHzY2sy3YpeLsV_GZCbPgtVp2xI71cgRQb87Eqiqsd5FG4o-C0fLF7E-B6y6a9D-lORCmOXMte1fSsuQqh1CBF_sKqrGNNwilMYF_U/s320/menu.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436247269763206226" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">Last week's menu plan went pretty well.

So, Thursday we had chicken, perogies and broccoli. We ordered pizza Friday night and Saturday we had pork chops instead. Hubby made them on the George Forman and I do not recommend that. They didn't have much taste and they were a little dry.<br /><br />So, this week my hubby is going to be out of town on an ice fishing trip through work so it's just me and the kids from Monday - Wednesday.<br /><br />Monday - leftovers from b-day party- had beef on a bun and Scooby Doo kraft dinner (LOL!)<br /><br />Tuesday - breakfast for dinner - pancake and sausage<br /><br />Wednesday - fast fry porkchops, noodles and veggies/dip<br /><br />Thursday - whole chicken in crockpot, mashed potatoes, broccoli<br /><br />Friday - cook's night off --- take out<br /><br />Saturday - chicken & cheese stuffed shells, salad<br /><br />Sunday - steak, potatoes, mushrooms<br /><br />For more meal plan ideas go to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Orgjunkie.com!</span><br /></span>Mrse123http://www.blogger.com/profile/07953190123207106541noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677091487162843666.post-24657125795691125182010-01-24T08:45:00.000-08:002010-01-24T08:54:20.769-08:00Happy 1st Birthday to My Little Princess!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2gC96DQrgfYGX3bMnXzLpnW-6nxC3SGoGOXzHBxtpeS70jxoXkHgFPpK5NU11Kv0vWSBcEDPHmsRMAVqORZNp_6sHZYS2KUNO5yizl-lY9YY94Fd3GoKDLnq5bvttlEUDp1B-jswNIeU/s1600-h/IMG_1654.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2gC96DQrgfYGX3bMnXzLpnW-6nxC3SGoGOXzHBxtpeS70jxoXkHgFPpK5NU11Kv0vWSBcEDPHmsRMAVqORZNp_6sHZYS2KUNO5yizl-lY9YY94Fd3GoKDLnq5bvttlEUDp1B-jswNIeU/s320/IMG_1654.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430350353840590338" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Kayla turned one on January 21st.

Day Back at Work<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><br />Well, I survived. It was quite overwhelming going back to work, although everyone was very welcoming! There were so many changes this past year, that I feel "brand new".<br /><br />I think what made today successful was being organized. Everything was ready to go this morning. It made it less stressful. Devin went to the neighbour's with no problems and Kayla was a bit shy when I dropped her off at daycare, but they said she did well. <br /><br />When I got home from work, Kayla squealed when she saw me, came crawling over and hugged me (patting my back too!). It was wonderful! <br /><br />It really feels weird only spending a total of 3 hours with the kids.....which included making supper, cleaning up and getting things ready for tomorrow. So how much actual time did I get with them? Devin and I did play in his room for a while. We had to close the door because Kayla kept coming in and grabbing the cars we were playing with! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">LOL</span>!<br /><br /><br /></span>Mrse123http://www.blogger.com/profile/07953190123207106541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677091487162843666.post-60663609730133582452010-01-11T18:17:00.000-08:002010-01-11T18:31:53.555-08:00Menu Plan Monday - January 11, 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJI4atfrXR-MAbM82770j2qwm8mby4L5T51b2IMSNWbzL4QnvM8ah-zXmYVMLG-i41FyiqWu9Fb6baUL6VdVBAo1U8AWIiNvrhyWjCRTKJkou0Nkdtec-VL2rqvnWIx20h6VhmScm7fQg/s1600-h/greenmpm.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 139px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJI4atfrXR-MAbM82770j2qwm8mby4L5T51b2IMSNWbzL4QnvM8ah-zXmYVMLG-i41FyiqWu9Fb6baUL6VdVBAo1U8AWIiNvrhyWjCRTKJkou0Nkdtec-VL2rqvnWIx20h6VhmScm7fQg/s320/greenmpm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425671985711488242" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Last week's menu plan went pretty well.

I have so many different emotions about it. I do want to get back into the adult world, but I'm going to miss my kids so much. I really wish that I didn't HAVE to work. <br /><br />I'm going to miss going to playgroups, swimming, Chapters, just being with my kids all the time. I'm going to miss the time to myself....when Devin was in school and Kayla was sleeping. <br /><br />I'm going to miss the fact that I had time to keep the house cleaned (well...most of the time), make dinner, keep up with laundry and just being organized.<br /><br />I do think that I can do this. Being organized is the key. I have to have the kids bags ready, lunches made and clothes laid out for the next day. <br /><br />Wish me luck.<br /><br /><br /></span>Mrse123http://www.blogger.com/profile/07953190123207106541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677091487162843666.post-89647258058570184142010-01-10T12:57:00.000-08:002010-01-10T13:01:37.703-08:00Goals Update<span style="font-family: verdana;">I am so very happy with the progress I have made with my goals. I have decluttered so much in my home.....I amazed myself. I put a lot of things on freecycle and donated a bunch to Diabetes Association.<br /><br />I have been to the gym three times this week and I have been able to drink more water. I just need to STOP snacking at night. <br /><br />Did great with $$ - only went grocery shopping 2x this week and that was only for fruits/veggies and milk. <br /><br />Just gotta keep this up! :)<br /></span>Mrse123http://www.blogger.com/profile/07953190123207106541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677091487162843666.post-79904440263191432092010-01-04T11:49:00.000-08:002010-01-04T12:15:25.341-08:001st Meal Plan of 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1lu__XdgPpOAB5kJe7h3iud45sf_OVggnsTR7MvbYV3ZOvIfso7CwYIzhO2BwiUWsPnfzZnyUjeIv0TEnlqkP1j1ZBrzy65zLPAmg2cN9eywGD0lNCYS3FcFJgJZ_SMyt-5SmiPA5_i4/s1600-h/greenmpm.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 139px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1lu__XdgPpOAB5kJe7h3iud45sf_OVggnsTR7MvbYV3ZOvIfso7CwYIzhO2BwiUWsPnfzZnyUjeIv0TEnlqkP1j1ZBrzy65zLPAmg2cN9eywGD0lNCYS3FcFJgJZ_SMyt-5SmiPA5_i4/s320/greenmpm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422974916690686338" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />I </span>am starting my meal planning again in order to be more organized once I start back to work.

Will she be fair like Devin and Chris or will she be dark with dark hair like me??? Will she even have hair? LOL!<br /><br />This will be the last time I will carry a child, feel a baby moving in my belly. I am going to miss this. <br /><br />I won't miss not being able to bend, being out of breath and having back pain or sciatic pain.<br /><br />I'm proud of myself for continuing with my exercise classes and going right until the end. Today was my last class.Mrse123http://www.blogger.com/profile/07953190123207106541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677091487162843666.post-91473947227643081872009-01-12T18:06:00.000-08:002009-01-12T18:16:03.201-08:00Menu Plan Monday - January 12, 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNqzRTkHXUw-uTXsTxm-_yr586XuYCuXPxMi8qAQIiYmoRlUmEshQl_Lo1yTfoBcm4n8TQ8lMTkWFdcL8ke1_moVe071bxxiHStL_LVRG-tug_eDEWi9KJn8J6i8eyZQNIa4-lfwzTDJ4/s1600-h/mpm2-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 317px; height: 145px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNqzRTkHXUw-uTXsTxm-_yr586XuYCuXPxMi8qAQIiYmoRlUmEshQl_Lo1yTfoBcm4n8TQ8lMTkWFdcL8ke1_moVe071bxxiHStL_LVRG-tug_eDEWi9KJn8J6i8eyZQNIa4-lfwzTDJ4/s320/mpm2-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290594222589794610" border="0" /></a><br />I followed last week's menu, except for Saturday my husband made his chicken wraps. We haven't had them for so long...and ummmm they were yummy! He sautes chicken, red pepper, broccoli and mushrooms, adds cream of broccoli soup and then wraps it in whole wheat wraps with shredded cheese and bakes them in the oven. We had rice and salad with it.<br /><br />Anyway, on to this week:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Monday</span> - soft tacos, salad<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tuesday</span> - breaded chicken breasts, fries and corn<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wednesday - </span>fast fry pork chops, potatoes and broccoli<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thursday -</span> dinner at mom's<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday</span> - pork roast (in slow cooker), hashbrown casserole, salad<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday</span> - hot pork sandwiches, fries and gravy, veggie?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sunday</span> - Order Pizza<br /><br /><br />I won't be doing a menu plan for next week as I will be having our little girl on Monday and in the hosptial for a few days. I'm sure people will be bringing stuff over after....and if not, I've got some stuff in the freezer!Mrse123http://www.blogger.com/profile/07953190123207106541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677091487162843666.post-18068808449619961442009-01-09T20:06:00.000-08:002009-01-09T20:17:28.830-08:00Trying So Hard to Get Ready for this BabyI have been trying to organize my house, my life and my work to get ready for this baby. I knew she was coming....for 9 months now, but I am such a procrastinator. Some things that we (hubby and I) have actually been able to accomplish is:<br /><br />- Setting up Devin's new room.<br />(This was our spare room AKA - my junk room. I moved all my junk from that room and now have spread it out throughout the house, including Devin's old room, which will be Kayla's room.)<br /><br />- putting up the crib and making it with the new bedding set (Thanks Chris and Amanda!)<br /><br />- I have managed to get some sleepers and clothes washed and ready for her.<br /><br />- I have prepared some freezer meals ~ lasagnas, rotini beef bakes, and taco seasoned beef.<br /><br />Here are some of the yummy meals I made!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioqMv615WNGhJHqTG1SLDyE8q6yclJJ0M4kxTPlA67SB955d90kh6RUwWodLvqmLm3lcMKazoJpaY8rRz6dO-tmDKrdsNXhO4e5xxXcq-NWOC9OiCDxvxZi_3Nlci5AVMDF-32yzLDm4A/s1600-h/IMG_8927.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioqMv615WNGhJHqTG1SLDyE8q6yclJJ0M4kxTPlA67SB955d90kh6RUwWodLvqmLm3lcMKazoJpaY8rRz6dO-tmDKrdsNXhO4e5xxXcq-NWOC9OiCDxvxZi_3Nlci5AVMDF-32yzLDm4A/s320/IMG_8927.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289513298936771538" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br />I really really wanted to have time off before this baby, but I'm just not organized enough at work!
