Last night

I went to bed at 8:45.  It was so lovely. As I laid there, about to drift into dreamland, I thought of some great things to blog about.  10 1/2 hours of sleep later, I cannot remember what they were. Maybe they'll come to me later.

On another note, I have the best husband in the world.  This week he has been a MAJOR help to me.  When Kman was sick this week, he stayed home with him so I could go to work (I only work 2 days a week). It was nice to have to worry with subs, plans, etc.  He did not have much of a productive day but it sure helped me out.  I am so thankful for that.  Last night, we tag teamed dinner and it was yummy.  We had pork tacos, beans, rice, and chips & queso.  We had family movie night, it was very relaxing.  Levi cleaned the kitchen up for me and let me go to bed early. That was AWESOME!!!

Guess that's it unless I can remember what my GREAT blogs were going to be.  Have a fabulous Saturday!!

April & I had lots of laughs at each other and at Levi...we enjoyed some Wii Fit..oh my.  In honor of my hubs humoring us, he's my picture of the day:)

ATTENTION ROWLETTIANS!!!

Okay so Whitney called me this morning to tell me about the City of Rowlett Stimulus deal. All you do is collect $250 worth of receipts from ANY business in Rowlett...ANY (gas, grocery, car, food, Walmart, Target, Burger King, seriously ANYWHERE as long as it is in Rowlett). Take your receipts into the City of Rowlett office. They stamp them and hand you a $25 gift card and a list of places that you can use it. There are a variety of businesses in Rowlett that take it, including Walmart.  I found almost $250 in my purse from receipts that I hadn't cleaned out or filed.  Go get your $25!!!

Menu Monday

So, this week we are going to start eating clean. We are going to take baby steps but basically it is cutting out refined sugars and flour.  This week, we are going to focus on dinners and try to implement it during the day when we can.  We're taking baby steps.  We've done weight watchers and this really goes hand in hand with that so hopefully it will be easy enough.  I did not go over my grocery budget...I was afraid I would BUT I also needed some staples (olive oil, honey, laundry detergent) that are a little more expensive.  

Monday - One pot Chicken, rice, & beans (was VERY good)

Tuesday- balsalmic marinated porkchops and grilled peaches with couscous

Wednesday- roast with carrots, onions, and potatoes

Thursday- Crispy chicken bites with sweet potatoes and salad

Friday- Smothered cheeseburgers salad and veggies
