Welcome back!

Wow! March, how’d you get here so fast?  I’m still using E-mealz.com but swapping some around due to our tastes.  Here’s this week’s menu and it may not look like the E-mealz one.

1)  Sweet & Sour Chicken , rice, veggies

2)  Chili Dogs

3) BBQ nachos

4)  Pimento and cheese sandwiches, chips, pickles

5)  White pork chili (with leftover meat from BBQ nachos)

6)  Good Gravy pork chops, mashed potatoes, baked beans

7)  Sloppy joes, fries

Again this week I’m using E-Mealz for part of my menu.  I am enjoying it, though I haven’t fully converted to using it entirely.  There have been a few of the meals that I knew my husband would not eat so I had to modify.  This week’s menu includes:

1) Hamburger steaks, macaroni & cheese, beans

2)  Crock pot Teriyaki Chuck Roast with potatoes and veggies

3)  Fresh Polynesian Pizza , Tossed salad

4)  Coca-Cola Pork Chops, Au gratin potatoes, green beans

5)  Garlic Shrimp & Grits, Steamed Asparagus

6)  Roast Beef Mini Sandwiches, Zesty Sweet potato fries

7)  Grilled Tilapia, loaded potatoes, grilled asparagus (My husband is cooking this meal.)

Motivation Monday

Every week we go through the same routine, we get a case of the Monday’s and wish it was Tuesday at least, but most likely we long for Friday.  Then it’s the weekend and it flys right by landing us back on Monday.  What a cycle huh?  How do you handle a case of the Monday’s?

For me staying in my routines is important.  No matter what day of the week it is if I can follow my routines, then I can rock and roll right through even the worst day, even a case of the Mondays.  My routines include: my quiet time, getting a shower first thing in the morning, cleaning up my kitchen, breakfast, dressing my children, scheduled work time, breaks, and chores.  Without doing those things my life will turn into chaos pretty quickly around here in a household where the children out number the adults.

This is how I cope.  What about you?

I share another tool I use to keep my sanity in my vlog, My Binder Obsession.  Check it out and let me know your thoughts.
