Wise choice

First, sorry its taken me so long to post.  I am not sure why it happened.  Anyway, here I am.  And I am going to reply to Missy's recent posts.

1) My reply to the plan to go vegetarian:  WHAT?!?!  You're nuts.  But if that's what you want to do, go for it!

2) My reply to the decision not to go vegetarian: Wise choice.  I admire your desire to make your meals healthier.  You are WAY ahead of me.  I consider having a vegetable on our plates healthy ;-)

Jon left early this morning for a week of training in Houston.  My goals for the week: 1) Not lose patience with the girls. 2) Eat real food (the girls can get by with mac and cheese, but this pregnant lady can't). 3) Keep the house straight (or at least have it cleaned by Friday).  4) Not go into labor (this was a goal Jon set for me).  So with those goals in mind, I will share with you my schedule for the week, even if it doesn't include a menu.  Maybe meal ideas will come to me as I type?

Sunday: We are at home.  I have already put the dishes away, cleaned off the counter top, started the laundry, gone through the mail, eaten breakfast...  Football is on later.  Maybe we will go for a walk.  We should go to the dog store to get dog food.  Who knows.  We got home late last night and I am OK with just being home.  Lunch - Me: leftover chili, Girls: ? Dinner - Me: Chicken Parm. Risotto, Girls: ? (in other words the girls either get what I get or I will improvise).

Monday: Breakfast boxes are already packed and ready for school.  Daycare, work, dinner...

Tuesday: Girls to Mimi and Bapa's, me to work.  After work I will go to my parents and stay for dinner.  Thank God I don't have to think about for that day!

Wednesday: Girls to daycare and me to daycare!  I am chaperoning their field trip to the Apple Barn Orchard and Winery.  I need to pack lunches.  Dinner?

Thursday: Girls to Mimi and Bapa's, me to work.  After work OB appointment.  Then bowling.  Maybe the girls will sleep over at Mimi and Bapa's?  Or maybe Grandma Patti will watch them here.

Friday: Girls at Mimi and Bapa's, me to work.  I think Mimi and Bapa may come over for pizza?

So I am getting a little taste again of what you go through all the time.  You're amazing!  I just hope I make it ;-)
