I can’t believe I have my weekly menu and my grocery list done before noon today. Not to mention folded and put away 3 loads of laundry, washed another, distracted Emery away from playing in the toilet by wrestling him to the ground for tickle torture, made 3/4 of the beds, prepared breakfast and a snack, helped Savannah clean a boo-boo, filled sippy cups, read books to Emery, had a modesty talk with Savannah, disposed of a “sceery” bug, scrubbed the kitchen table and chairs, posted a recipe, and moved the furniture in preparation for deep cleaning the hardwoods when the kids go down for their naps after lunch. Whew!!! And it’s only 10:45!!!
I need a nap! Or at the very least, some breakfast.
But before I do that and possibly loose my momentum, here is the plan for the week:
Today: We have family coming over so we will be having a Honey Baked Ham*, potato salad (my mom’s…YUM!), and maybe some cole slaw or green bean casserole. Whatever I have the ingredients for.
Tuesday: Lasagna with salads and garlic bread.
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Sausage Brunch, toast, fresh fruit.
Friday: More leftovers!!! Got a lot this week!
Saturday: Our niece’s 17th birthday party.
Sunday: Please eat up all those leftovers!!!
*Note of thanks to Uncle Jonathan for waiting in line for 3 hours Saturday during Honey Baked Ham’s 50th anniversary sale and getting us a ham for 1/2 price. I would have said it wasn’t worth it, but the story he got out of the experience was definitely worthwhile. Ha!!!*
More menu’s and recipes can be found at Laura’s site.

Girl, you’re on fire this morning! Why don’t you swing by here (since you’re done with all of your work!*wink*) and kindly put away MY laundry?
Have a great day!
Holy Cow!!! You guys must have gotten up before the clock was on the “7”… Can you send some of that energy my way?!?!
OR I know, my house is on the way to Christi’s, so you can stop and do MY floors before you go to put away Christi’s laundry, Yeah, that’ll work… :)
you have a very well planned out week. YUM
WOW WOW WOW! You made me so tired just reading your post!
WAY TO GO!
I’ll be over for Sausage Brunch. YUM AND YUM!
You sound like a woman “possessed”…but I wouldn’t recommend an Exorcism. :) Twice in recent posts you’ve mentioned my potato salad. Thanks for the nod. Maybe your readers would like to know the secret to good potato salad, so here it is: The secret is in the sauce. After you dice the cooked and peeled potatoes, and added some copped onion, you dice the hard boiled eggs…but ONLY the whites. The yolks you put into a small bowl. Then you mash up the yolks with oil and venegar and a little mustard, then add the mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip) to that and THEN toss it into the potatoes, etc. Add a little more mayonnaise if it needs it. Some salt and pepper and refrigeration and you’re done!
