2015 April Fools Day

Well we started our day with Chex cereal

(Frozen the night before)

Took a normal snack to school

& had some fruit punch in the afternoon

(Jello)

My 6 year old liked the eyes even though they scared a classmate but he wasn't too amused with the other stuff.

Menu Plan Monday for the week of May 18th

Sometimes I don't get to add my meme posts to Mr. Linky because I pre-post, but I like doing them anyway :-)

what we ate last week:
Sunday - Mother's Day; my mom came over & I made brunch - scrambled eggs, sausage, home fries, English muffins, waffles, Ambrosia
For dinner hubby had leftover pizza & I had leftover waffles.

Wednesday - pork chops, stuffing. peas
Thursday - we had a crazy day so I had cereal, hubby had fishsticks

I make a big salad a couple of times a week so it's always ready to eat. I don't add dressing so it stays crisper.

what we ate last week:
Sunday - Easter dinner was pretty simple since I hadn't done too much shopping; roast beef, mashed potaotes, sauteed onions, gravy, corn? I really don't remember the veggie LOL
Dessert was fruits & cupcakes.
I tried to make egg shaped cake pops on Saturday but 1. I couldn't get the egg shape right, 2. most of them fell off the stick, 3. hubby & I both thought the were too sweet so I just threw them out without decorating them.
Monday - baked ziti with meatballs
Tuesday - my day got a little crazy so we had leftovers
Wednesday - chicken, stuffing, peas & carrots
Thursday - breaded pork chops, butternut squash, coleslaw, sliced apples
Friday - shish kebobs, rice, kidney beans
Saturday - I made banana bread in the afternoon. Dinner was pizza

Happy New Year!!

Yesterday I worked the longest shift I've worked since I got pregnant. Boy was I tired, even with 2 breaks. It was only about 2 hours more than usual but it made some difference in how I felt. The roads were bad when I went in so I called hubby to pick me up at the end of the night.
Everyone keeps telling me I need to get an SUV or a mini van for the baby but I'm standing by my little car, even though it's has been giving me trouble lately. Hubby is going to do some work on it this weekend & he keeps telling me it's time for new tires so we'll probably have that done later this month.

Merry Christmas!!!
I'm working today (don't forget to bring the cookies & fudge like Sunday). Before work I have to do some last minute food preps & lists so hubby can just throw stuff in the oven. By the time I get home my mom should be here so we'll eat & open presents.
Hope whoever drops by has a wonderful day :-)

Did you see the lady who ran out at 10:30 this morning to do a few quick errands?
Did you see her get caught behind the slowest driver ever on the first main road?
Did you see her get stuck behind the twin to the slowest driver on the second main road? (good thing she left early)
Did you see her get to her appointment 10 minutes early only to have them be running 15 minutes late?
Did you see her get stuck in traffic for about 20 minutes? (good thing she had a water & some snacks in the car since it was close to 1 PM by now & this SHOULD have been the time she was getting back home)
Did you see her in 2 different stores with the millions of people who seemed to be just starting their Christmas shopping?
Did you see her tire go flat in the parking lot?
Did you see her fixing her flat tire in the parking lot? ( a few years ago her husband gave her this little air thing that plugs into the lighter just in case she ever needed it. She made fun of it & tried to give it back. Luckily her husband insisted she keep it in her trunk)
Did you see her run into another store just to buy her husband his favorite special & expensive coffee?
Did you see her waiting on line to get it for 15 minutes? (but he definitely deserved it today!)
Did you see her almost fall down because the gas station didn't do such a good job cleaning the snow which turned to ice?
Did you see her finally get home at 4 o'clock???
On the plus side...she had a good hair day, the last of her mail packages arrived today, no one hit her car,& she only called one person an idiot.

Thursday Thirteen 10th edition

13 things I am thankful for:
1. my husband - for all that he is & does I am very lucky to have him as mine :-)
2. my best friend - we are so alike it's not even funny; what is funny is we hated each other when we were first introduced by mutual friends
3. my mom - I wouldn't be the woman I am today if not for my mom who I am also lucky enough to consider a friend
4. my dad - who unfortunately is no longer with me but he also helped to make me (literally LOL) the person I am today
5. my uncle - my friend, my godfather, my older brother...who was taken from me way too soon, words cannot express just how much he means to me & what having him in my life has done.
6. my grandma - who I also lost too soon but I am glad for the years we had together.
7. our house
8. my education
9. that we had no trouble conceiving - considering how long we waited I was a little afraid it would be harder & take longer
10. living in the USA - 99% of the time at least LOL
11. my extended family
12. my friends, who are really an extra extended family
13. my stuff - even though I complain about what I don't have

Today's Thanksgiving preps -
Run to the store for last minute stuff that I forgot to pick up last week, grrr.
Change sheets & towels, throw them in the wash.
Vacuum while laundry is going.
Dust & wipe down windows.
Decorate windows.

I'm going to try something new & start pre-posting. I've already done one for tomorrow & after this post will make a post for Thursday & maybe even more, who knows. I'm just tired of being such a bad blogger.

Today is hubby's birthday. We spent the morning together & I gave him his gifts. I'm making spaghetti for dinner since it's his favorite plus it's Sunday anyway LOL Right now he's napping while I tidy up, watch tv & goof around online.

A lot of the blogs I regularly read are posting Thanksgiving preparations so I will too.
Today I cleaned hubby's bathroom, straightened up the guest room, vacuumed the stairs & took the turkey out of the freezer. While my sauce is cooking later I will fold & put away laundry. I also need to make a mini shopping list for tomorrow. I forgot to buy red onions when I shopped Friday & I only bought 1 loaf of bread which is like 3 slices from being finished.

I'm at work right now, be here later to post.
