Not Me Monday

I'm getting on board with Not Me Monday, founded by the one & only MckMamaWelcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

So, here goes my first not Me Monday post!!! This week I surely did not take an afternoon nap on Saturday, no NOT ME ~ for 1 1/2 hours while my little princess slept and all of my boys were gone camping! No not me, that would be irresponsible, since I surely could have been doing something more constructive like cleaning my house!

And I truly did not go TWICE to the local pool for a swim last week, no NOT ME! That would have been pure lazy, especially while my husband was at work. No not me, I didn't do it!!!

I did not, I repeat did NOT get upset with my little princess when I discovered she had colored with marker on the mouse to our computer. No, not me! And I did not grab the magic eraser as quickly as possible to clean it before my dear husband came home! Nope, not me!

Hope you enjoy the No me Monday posts as much as I do. Enjoy and get on board with starting your own Not Me Monday posts, come on!!! We've all had days like this!

Menu Plan Monday

PHEW! We are in full swing here at our house this week! Ryan is turning 11 on Wednesday, and needless to say I have a very full week ahead! We had a great weekend.

Tuesday: Cheeseburger Pasta

Wednesday: Hamburger Cook out for Ryan's birthday

Thursday: Chicken Kabobs on the grill, corn on the cob

Friday: Bacon & Cheese topped BBQ Chicken, fresh yellow beans

Saturday: Homemade Pizza (Chicken Alfredo Pizza)

Menu Plan Mondays...

I've been doing menu planning for about a year now, and boy has it saved us some serious cash! With a grocery store literally a block from my house, I was spending too much money on impulse shopping. I would stop by the store for 2 items and return home with 22 items! YIKES!!!

So, a friend suggested menu planning. I usually plan out our menus 1 week at a time, but somedays I feel more ambitious and plan out more, not this week! So, here it is our one week menu plan!

Monday: Grilled Pork sirloin with corn on the cob

Tuesday: Spaghetti with garlic cheese rolls

Wednesday: Chicken braats with beans and a side salad

Thursday: Hamburgers, baked beans & fresh veggies w/ dip

Friday: BBQ Chicken on the grill, parmesan potatoes, side salad

Saturday: Pizza

Sunday: is our church picnic, so I get out of cooking! :)
