Menu Plan for February 28-March 6

Menu Plan Monday by Orgjunkie.com

You gotta believe the week isn’t starting off in the most organized fashion when the menu plan post comes at 11:00pm Monday night! I had a plan done yesterday afternoon but had to make adjustments when Brooke wasn’t up to stopping at the grocery store after dinner. Cie la vie with a spirited toddler!

Monday – Spaghetti, peas & garlic bread
TuesdayTaco Pasta from Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures, I made the meat mixture tonight and doubled it and froze half. So now when its time to eat I just need to boil pasta and shred some cheese!
Wednesday – Hot Dogs, I got some leftovers from the company’s Annual Chili Cook-Off on Friday and don’t want them to go to waste
ThursdayBusy Mom’s Chicken Fajitas
Friday – Sunday – Family in town!! Mom, Jacqie & Jake fly in Friday so I have meal ideas but we’ll play it by ear. Ideas include Taco Burgers, Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti (it makes a lot!) and Happy Housewife’s Chicken Pot Pie on the Fly

Do you tend to have more of a plan for meals when you’re expecting guests or do you like to play it by ear?

The Wrong End

Brooke LOVES helping me open packages that come in the mail. One day this summer, I got a prize pack from Johnson & Johnson with a tote bag full of their products, including a tube of Desitin. She was having fun putting the bottles in the bag and taking them back out so I left her to have fun while I got dinner started.

Then I realized it had been quiet for too long. You know what that means with a toddler in the house….

She had somehow busted through the factory seal on the tube of diaper rash cream and smeared it all over her face.

And clearly felt tremendous guilt over it.

Why Put Off Until Tomorrow…

…when you can keep putting it off…

When I saw this prompt for Working Mommy Wednesday, I was actually brave enough to ask Keith for his input and he was brave enough to give me an honest answer. Silly man!!

I procrastnate. So much so that its 10:24pm Wednesday night and I’m writing my post for Working Mommy Wednesday.

And you know what happens when you wait until the last minute? You end up with blog posts like this.
