What's For Supper, Mama?

I had a request to share our menu plans more often but I did not get to it as planned. Sorry! :) So here I am today to give a few ideas. Here is what we had this week.

MONDAY
Roasted chicken (from the grocery store deli)
rice with gravy
sliced cucumber
biscuits

TUESDAY
Mexican chicken casserole....made from the leftover chicken
(this was a new recipe I tried from the internet - we hated it, it was awful! LOL but I am going to use the sauce part of the recipe to make a whole new recipe - I'll let you know how that goes!)

WEDNESDAY
tater tot casserole (different from the Duggar version)
fresh peas
macaroni and cheese
sliced tomatoes

THURSDAY
Wasn't what I had planned but was by special request from The GuitarMan

fried chicken (1/2 buffalo wings 1/2 fried chicken legs)
french fries

FRIDAY
(Here again, not what I had planned but we need to eat them up and my girls are going to a special Girls Night for K-6th at a church in another town so no time to cook...they are so excited!)

leftovers from this week

SATURDAY
cottage prayer meeting so we will have fellowship there

SUNDAY
I have a ham thawing now!

Next week is VBS every night so soon I will share what we do for easy suppers. I think we all need ideas for those! It is so easy to think we don't have time to cook or sit down together to share a family meal. Sometimes that really is the case but often times it is just that we are too tired and distracted/overwhelmed to deal with it. It helps to have something planned especially if you have a headstart on it. So I will address that topic a little further when I share next week's menu. :)

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Why the Hurry?

We are indulging in an early lunch today after having a late breakfast. I would say it is due to growth spurts but I'm not sure. Unfortunately mine tend to be outward rather than upward so I am hoping that isn't the case for Mama! :P As I went towards the kitchen to fix lunch LadyBug frantically called, "Wait, wait! Mama look at my picture!" She had worked so hard to color a kitty in a coloring book. The head was royal blue and the body orange while it sported a jaunty red bow. (Just so you Auburn fans know it...there was some Crimson Tide thrown in there, ha!) I praised her for staying in the lines while in my head I thought of how an adult would have had to made it look more real. Have you noticed that about children? The majority of young children never color a picture to look real. They use different colors all over. FlowerChild used to color pictures of people and animals with a pattern of up to 8 colors at a time! Have you ever seen a plaid horse? How about a st...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...
