Meal Plan Monday

I want to share our weekly meal plan as a way to hold myself accountable. This week is a little different with the holiday weekend and visitors in and out of our house.

Today is Labor Day and my parents last day of their visit. We also have soccer practice tonight. We are eating turkey tacos. A meal that is always easy and satisfying.

Tuesday afternoon I have a staff meeting after school and then my best friend and her husband are stopping over on their drive from Alabama to New York. My parents also head back to Colorado early Tuesday morning, so just a bit of a chaotic day! We are making pasta with sausage, a salad, and garlic bread.

Wednesday after school I have a virtual test coordinators meeting. That night we'll be eating leftovers and just trying to catch back up on life. 

Thursday we're having leftovers again and working on cleaning out the fridge.

Friday we're making ravioli and salad before t-ball practice. 

Saturday night we've got tickets to the Wake Forest versus Virginia game! We will be enjoying the day soaking up a Wake Forest tailgate and game day experience. I'm not sure what that means food wise, other than we'll be eating out.

Sunday we'll be making grilled chicken and orzo pasta salad. A summertime favorite and a nice way to ease back into a normal pace of life.

What are you eating this week?

What's Up Wednesday

  What we're eating Monday: leftovers Tuesday: ground turkey tacos Wednesday: ground turkey lettuce wraps Thursday: pesto chicken pasta Friday: salmon, couscous, brussels sprouts Saturday: greek chicken and orzo salad Sunday: pasta and meatballs What I'm reminiscing about I'm reminiscing about falls in years past; every turn of the season brings a bit of nostalgia! What I'm loving I am loving feeling good at my job. I know most students' names. They feel confident in expectations in the library. I feel like I have a good plan for the month of October. It's feeling really good overall. I am also loving watching my son grow - trying new things athletically, finding new characters he loves, playing mario kart with his dad, singing songs he learned at school. I just love watching him become who he is. What we've been up to September flew by! My parents were visiting over Labor Day. We went to a Wake Forest football game. We celebrated my husband's birthday. ...

Wednesday Hodgepodge

  1. Something that's had you  'chuffed to bits'  recently?  I am feeling settled and cozy in the home we bought over the summer and it's bringing me such joy! I added some autumnal decorations on Sunday and it makes the house feel even more like ours. 2. Tell us about an instance recently where you were tempted to 'throw a wobbly' ( expression used to describe tantrums thrown, usually by adults or people who should know better)  Honestly, when doctors appointments that have been scheduled for 6+ months get cancelled and rescheduled without consent and then you have to scramble to reschedule knowing full well how far in advance the offices book out. Why make an appointment if it's going to change and then you'll be pushed out even farther? It drives me absolutely crazy, and even more so when the appointment in question isn't for me, but for my child. On a similar note, my insurance changed over the summer and the hoops we had to jump through to get m...

Wednesday Hodgepodge

  1. When the Hodgepodge lands on September 11th I want to acknowledge that. Will you purposely pause to remember, pray, or attend any sort of ceremony on 9/11? Share any thoughts or memories you'd like to share about this day.  I vividly remember both September 11 and the one year anniversary. I've shared often about my memories of the day itself, but rarely about the one year anniversary.  We moved from Washington D.C., where my dad was stationed at the pentagon, to Minot, North Dakota in July 2001. While the towers were devastating and are the most vivid image in my memory, its the fear I felt around the Pentagon and the area we had just left behind that appear every year in memory.  On the one year anniversary, we were in our second year in Minot. I had switched from going to school off base to the on base school that year as a result of how the world on military bases changed post-9/11. Our little middle school choir sang at the base memorial for all the command...
