Yes, it's hard to believe it's time for another installment on Menu Monday. And, of course, it's posted on Tuesday. This was because I actually didn't have my menus planned until today. Barring any changes, the next week will consist of:
Monday - BBQ pork sandwiches, tater tots, baby carrots (Audrey hated it)
Tuesday - tacos (Audrey hates them)
Wednesday - spaghetti (Audrey *usually* likes it - SHOCKER!!)
Thursday - grilled chicken breasts (grilled a while back and stored in the freezer), baked potatoes, and salad (Audrey will hate it)
Friday - creamed chicken, salad (Audrey will probably hate it) - this was supposed to be on the menu last week, but things got shuffled around.
On to life at our house - this whole past week has been a blur. Last week I was desperately trying to finish my 100 page scrapbook of our Hawaii trip. Winkflash was having a sale (that ends today) on their 10x8 books - 100 pages for $19.95. Considering that would usually be a $59 book, we decided I should take advantage of it. Of course, I'm too obsessive-compulsive to use unedited pictures, and I didn't regularly edit them 4 years ago, so I had a lot of work cut out for me. I did it, though!
Nathan started his vision therapy yesterday. Our insurance won't cover in-office therapy, so we're doing it at home with a computer program. It's not hard, it's just setting aside 20 minutes every day for it (along with homework, his reading proficiency paper, spelling words, and guitar practice). Well, it's time to go make the tacos. Bye!

The one where I introduce a new feature...
Well, I have succumbed again to the agonizing condition known as "blogger's block". Well, maybe it's not really known as that and I just made it up...anyway, it is real and I have it. So, as I've been lurking around other people's blogs I've noticed a couple of regular features. One is Favorite Friday, the other is Menu Monday. Seeing that I have a serious deficiency of originality, I've decided to try the Menu Monday. Of course, it is aptly fitting with the chaos in my life that I begin this feature on a Tuesday...
Monday - Cajun Stroganoff with salad (which ended up, due to time constraints, being green beans instead) - Audrey hated it
Tuesday - Chicken Parmesan, Rice, Salad - Dwayne and Audrey will hate it, possibly Nathan as well
Wednesday - Baked Tilapia with adobo seasoning, mac and cheese, green beans - Audrey will hate it
Thursday - BBQ Pork Sandwiches, tater tots, carrot sticks - Audrey will hate it, Nathan might
Friday - Creamed chicken over rice and salad - Audrey will probably hate it
I'm sure you can see the pattern. I love my children, but it gives me immense satisfaction that, after 6 years, someone ELSE gets to deal with my daughter for at least 1 meal a day.
On a totally random and unrelated note - I'm feeling relieved this afternoon. Nathan had an eye appointment today. It turns out he has convergence insufficiency, which is a tracking disorder. Now, usually finding out something is wrong with your child is not relieving, however I was worried that we wouldn't find any answers for some of the problems he's been having, so this is a good thing. (Was that a run-on sentence?) We're looking at eye therapy, but we may be able to avoid the nice and pricey dyslexia testing if this starts to help him. We're just waiting on insurance to let us know what they will and will not cover.
Well, that's all folks. Well, not really, but you don't really need to read all about the guitar lessons, gymnastics class, Awana, football, worship team, PTO, birthday, moving my grandmother to a retirement center, putting up a basketball goal, my kitchen is a total wreck schedule. I should probably go start the dishwasher so I have dishes for dinner...
