It was just mid-week last week when I finally started feeling better... not 100%, but definitely better. Housecleaning essentials, grocery shopping, and some sewing were about all I could accomplish.
Then this week snuck up and took me by surprise -- Spring Break from school for Mr. B! And of course, his other babysitter doesn't babysit during school vacation. Sigh. So Mr. B. has been with me fulltime this week.
So now, I'm behind on everything. Housework, laundry, grocery shopping, baking, gardening, you name it. I'm feeling about 95% better - the cold/cough still tends to kick in in the middle of the night, which makes sleeping tough.
Today my husband took Mr. B. out for the day. Bless his heart. I needed a break, and I'm pretty sure Mr. B. did too. The first thing I did was make up a grocery list and get the grocery shopping done. This afternoon I'm emptying all the trash in the house, cleaning out the fridge, and trying to get caught up on laundry.
Since I'm just back from grocery shopping, I thought I'd sit down and make out my menus for the next 10 days, before I forget what I've bought and what I've put in the freezer. So here we go:
Thursday
Green salad
Friday
Corn bread
Saturday
Baked fish
Oven-fried potatoes
Sunday (Easter)
Baked bone-in Ham
Steamed green beans
Homemade rolls
Apple pie
Monday
Leftovers from Sunday
Tuesday
Leftover Rolls
Wednesday
Hot dogs w/crescent roll buns
Lentil soup from freezer
Thursday
Green salad
Friday
Take-Out Chinese
Saturday
Hamburgers on English Muffins
w/sliced tomatoes and lettuce
Oven-fried Sweet Potato Fries
Sunday
Pork Chops w/applesauce
Potatoes au gratin
Peas/Carrots
Homemade rolls
There, I feel better already just getting those menus figured out and written down. Now, it's on to making To Do Lists for the week to get the housework caught up!
Life is Good!
