Last week I felt like I had oh-so-many things to post about. And this week it’s quite the opposite. I feel boring and just generally tired. I haven’t made it to the gym once this week (VERY VERY unlike me) but I’m giving myself a break because I’ve been going pretty hard. It’s OK to not be superwoman this week, really.
- We did clean out the “media closet,” as we refer to it, last night. Once upon a time, it was a coat closet, but we added shelves to house our ridiculous DVD collection. Then when Tabby came along, I moved our ridiculous DVD collection to a bunch of binders and moved her toys and DVDs into the closet. Last night we got rid of the remaining toys and now it houses all the DVDs (ours in binders, the kids where they can see them), a bunch of video game paraphernalia and the kid activities that can’t be in the playroom, namely anything with tiny pieces or the potential to destroy the house. It’s actually got a mostly empty shelf. Weird.
- We made IGE’s Chicken Parmesan Meatball Subs last night. They were very tasty. Ben’s having some of the meatballs for lunch today. I’m having a meatball sub for lunch today. Clearly, it is a good day.
- On the side, I steamed some green beans and mixed them with a little butter, some garlic salt and pepper and then tossed them with just a little panko and parmesan. Excellent side dish.
- I also fully intend to keep photographing and cataloging our family’s favorite recipes, but I hit a snag this week when I made Broccoli Cheese Soup and used the 2% cheddar I had in the fridge instead of the regular stuff. It got all separated and weird looking. It still tasted great, but would not have photographed well.
- We scoped out the site for T’s party last night and now I need to spend my lunch hour making up some clues for the kids to do a scavenger hunt.
- I also need to do a dry-run on making the cake. Luckily, my parents are taking the kids Friday night. That means we can have a super sexy baking date. Yep. We know how to party.
- Ben continues to be pretty freaked out by floating on his back in the water. Funny thing is, he is pretty OK with having his face in the water … I feel bad for him though and I hope we can resolve this soon, both for his sake and my wallet’s!
- Tomorrow is our company ski trip. I know it will be fun, but I’m not particularly excited at the prospect of leaving town. Again.
Woof you have been busy. Busier than normal that is. All that food sounds delicious!!!
The food looks very good.
Have fun at the companies retreat:)
