I return back to work on Monday after my 5 weeks as a SAHM. That means that after 5 weeks of "abnormal", life will get back to normal. Is there such a thing? Maybe it's just that we are getting back into our routine. Is there such a thing? Whatever. I think we are all ready for Monday. Well, everyone except for me. What was I doing at work when I was told to take the next 5 weeks off? Ugg. Whatever. I can't be blamed for the lack of consistency because the 5 week break wasn't my idea.
Anyway, I LOVED the time at home with the girls. I got to know them even better that I already did. They are growing and developing a lot. They surprised me in a lot of ways. I got a lot done around the house (including cleaning the kitchen, 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms more than they have been cleaned in months. Years?). I made a lot of meals and learned that I can be (and am) somewhat domesticated. I can work, be a mom and get dinner on the table. It takes planning. And having ideas (thanks ZipList and Pinterest)!
So here goes...next week's menu.
Sunday: Dinner at That's Amore for Baka's birthday
Monday: Something from the freezer (I have been doing so well at making fresh meals that the pre-made frozen stuff is taking up all the room in the freezer so nothing else fits.
Tuesday: Stuffed Shells (to be made on Monday)
Wednesday: Bruschetta Chicken
Thursday: Beef Stroganoff
Friday: Leftovers/O.Y.O.
Saturday: Dinner at the Miller's
Here's to happy returns. Make it a great week!
