What's For Supper, Mama?

This week's plans have been undergoing some rearranging already. I'll show you what I mean. Here is what I originally planned.

MONDAY

grilled cheeseburgers

home fries

baked beans

TUESDAY

mexican casserole

WEDNESDAY

fresh peas

fried eggplant

fried okra

new potatoes

cornbread

THURSDAY

BBQ chicken

leftover baked beans

mashed potatoes

FRIDAY

fried catfish

potatoes and onions

squash casserole

hushpuppies

SATURDAY

Going to a Bible Study

so I'm taking fingerfoods

SUNDAY

Grilled sausage dogs

baked potato

any leftovers

Well, the casserole was for The GuitarMan but he went to a friend's. So I told him no worries we would just flip flop Tues and Thurs. Then we had the whole fiasco trying to get waited on and got home late so it changed again to soup! So we will try again for chicken tonight. We have a meeting at 3 in another town though so who knows! It all sounds good though so I don't mind how it works out. I'll probably just wing it and go with whatever I am in the mood to cook for the rest of the week!

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, ...

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!

Power Bills

We lucked out last month on our power bill. We received a credit on our bill which helped tremendously. A lot of folks were shocked at how high their bills were, however. I can't blame them! Some of the figures I heard were outrageous! $500-600, one even $1200! One thing that got me was that many of these people work outside the home and their children are in school or daycare so the house stands empty all day. Not only that, but their families are much smaller so things like the washer, dryer, or stove would not be used as frequently. Shouldn't their bill be lower than ours? I think it has everyone trying to come up with ways to save on power. There are some things that are a given. Good insulation and windows go a long way towards helping lower a bill. When we first moved into our home the windows were very old. Some were cracked or even broken. The church eventually replaced them which was a huge blessing! But what were we to do in the meantime? Well, one way is to buy th...
