Today was out of control! I don't even want to type it all out, but it involves my debit card being declined at a weird grocery story in front of a loooooong line of strangers (total mystery because I called my bank and they said there were no attempts...I got back in line and it worked? I. Was. Mortified.), thrown eggs, whiney baby, and exhaustion because my 21 month old has decided she doesn't know how to sleep through the night anymore..? There was one point where I honestly said to myself, "Is this real life?"
K could tell it had been a day as soon as he walked through the door. I'm grateful for a husband that leaves is career job and comes right home to his dad job. I gave him a few minutes to unwind before handing over J and going in the back bedrooms to hide. I fell asleep for a good hour or so and am glad I made that choice. I woke up loving my family again, which I'm pretty sure is a good sign :).
Here's this week's menu, as always, feel free to share what you're having because I need some more ideas :):
Vegetable Mac and cheese
We aren't spicy people, so this recipe sans spicy ingredients + more vegetables and still debating the crust...because the picture of it in the skillet looks pretty dang good to me!
Grilled Bruschetta Chicken
We ended up having several people over for dinner last Sunday. This got pushed to this week and I made a lasagna in its place on Sunday. Thank goodness for lasagna leftovers because my family probably wouldn't have eaten today without them!
Shrimp Tacos
Corn Chowder + BLTs
Ham (or lamb or something cool for Easter) + Potatoes and other cool Easter stuff
The whole reason I went to the weird grocery store today was because they had a good deal on ham, but once I got there all the ham they had was HUUUUUUUGE! I knew I'd regret it, so I let the reasonable side win out over the cheapskate side and I left without a ham! I'll be on a meat search tomorrow.
Oh my gosh, so sorry about the grocery store experience! I would have been sooo mad! Your menu looks yummy. We're having people over for Easter dinner and I've never made ham before, but I've already told everyone I'm making ham and rolls...lets hope it turns out....
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will! I've never done it by myself : / I'm sure I'll be calling my mom several times during the process!
