Sunday Funday
Wow – this weekend felt like “one of those days”… know what I mean? I think I am just having “one of those” LIVES… now do you

know what I mean? LOL – Well, as usual the chaos ensued. My oldest – Bubba Joe Joe (he loves when I call him that) went on a Klondike Camp with Boy Scouts. Luckily it was the nicest winter weekend we could have asked for, but even still – 40 degrees is still too cold to think of my baby sleeping out in the cold hard world – in a tent, on the ground, for the weekend. AGHHHHHH – When did he grow up?? And why won’t it stop???
Saturday I shopped for FREE cereal, then I spent some time with a couple friends who are my “bloggy-encourage-ors”… I debate OFTEN whether I should continue to blog and what I want my focus to be… HELLO- is anybody out there?? Do you read my nonsense? What do you enjoy? What would you like to read more of?
Today both my older kid’s started cool camps… Kerry took J to a baseball camp – which we are super psyched about! Our whole family LOVES baseball season and it is J’s favorite thing to do – and anything that get’s him off that darned iPod is okay by me!! Lulu and I had a cheer session to help out with and it was great because lots of girls came and were so excited and refreshing!! My girls’ ages (10-14) are having their session in 2 weeks, so I am trying to be in the habit of saying all nice things – LOL I mean, seriously it is a large group of 10-14 year old girls… need I say more?!!!
I hit the cool sales at Rite-aid (check them out HERE) and then hit the kitchen to try to get ahead for the week… Here is our MEAL PLAN for the week:
Sunday: The Pioneer Woman’s Meatloaf (click it for link, it was totally Amaze-balls) with mashed ‘taters and green beans – even with a busy day, I made this and Chili – why YES, I also, am amaze-balls!!
Monday: “Pulled” Pork (from Roast last week – I always make larger roasts or more chicken or turkey than I need so I have extra frozen for future meals) with Gravy over Egg Noodles, Large Salad
Tuesday: “Breakfast for Dinner” (like toaster waffles and micro waved Sausage links) cuz we are BUSY and I can only be “suzy homemaker” on some days!!
~Snowmobile Class 7-10 for kids, Boy Scout Committee Meeting
Wednesday: Grandma’s coming, Daddy’s in charge… C.O.R.N (Clean out refridg. Night) My family has to fend for themselves because I have to work – but Daddy (and Grandma) is the better cook anyhow, so they will be fine!
~Work night
Thursday: Chili (made ahead on Sunday) with Meatloaf Sliders (Of course I made a 2#+ meatloaf on Sunday for just this purpose) I’ll slice the leftovers thin and place them on toast and broil some mozzarella on top, serving them open faced… yummy!!
~Girl Scout Planning Meeting
Friday: Pizza Night – Boboli Cheeseburger Pizza or Order Out…??? Depends on how the week goes – and whether I can get any Boboli at the Bread Store….??
Saturday: Ham Dinner – Big ‘Ole Ham so I can make a few extra meals out of it.
~Snowmobile Class 9-3 for older kids, Circus for CK#1!
Sunday: “Sauce” Day – extra to freeze and a Lasagna or two….
~Baseball Camp 2-4
So – what do you have up for the week? What are you cooking? Let’s Chat – AND – “hey – Jack” – answer my bloggy questions and make me “happy, happy, happy”!!!

Why are you awake? Why am I awake? Maybe you aren’t awake and you have this post scheduled but why on Earth would someone schedule a post at 2am? I don’t know and I am sitting here typing/talking to myself so I should get to bed.
What did you ask again? I don’t know, I will answer you later when I am more alert. Just wanted you to know that I am here and reading
PS – no, I am not drunk. Couldn’t be even if I wanted to since I have liver issues now, I get like this in the wee hours. Ha!
Michelle your outta control!! Wouldn’t have it any other way!! ♥
Amanda, why are you up at 2AM girl?? ♥
I always read your blog. I love your sense of humor, and your way of being real. I struggle with the issues re: blogging you do. I’m like is “anyone reading”? I can’t even compare to other food bloggers, heck I’ve had a few actually email me and tell me in “nice ways” to just stop while I”m ahead, I know!!
Then I’ve had a few of my readers privately contact me to tell me how much they love my blog and how much I help them because I keep it real. Yeah, sometimes I use pancake mix, and sometimes I use a canned item. Does that make me weird? Yeah, I can go on and on…
I love your banter and my favorite part of your blog is when you tell/show us what you did with the deals to make it work for your family! You have inspired me too many times to mention!! ♥
AWWW – I knew i could count on the 2 of you!! You are the best and I also LOVE to read both of your blogs!!! Mandy Lu is the best deal finder and Didi you are the best “writer”… I love to read about your REAL life too!!!
LOVE the Pioneer Woman! We just tried her meatloaf this week as well and it was a big hit. Try the oven baked country meatballs and her Chicken Spaghetti…two family favorites! Always look forward to your posts…
Hi EEEEVVVVAAAAAAAA…. Thank you for the KIND words! Have you been watching the Pioneer Woman on TV? I love her “live” – she is amazing!!! I have had both the meatballs (uyum) and the Chicken spaghetti (unoooo) but our real favorite of hers is the Marlboro man Sandwich!!! Have you tried that??
I am here girl and reading!
Love the meal plans and the 4 hr. lunches.
I knew I could count on you Girl!! And thank Goodness sakes for this blogging business which allowed us to meet… and 4 hour lunches ensued!! LOL – You are the BEST!!!!
