Menu for Last Week

Yep, running a week behind. That's me! Last weeks menu was as follows:

-   Chicken casserole, mashed potatoes, hominy, cole slaw, rolls
-   Pigs-in-a-blanket, mashed potatoes, corn, greenbeans
-   Chicken Noodle Soup, crackers
-   Hamburgers, french fries
-   Taco Salad, doritos

My Menu

Due to some health reasons I had to quit one of my part-time jobs, so now I only work one.  Which means that I will be short quite a bit of money a month so I am on a new quest to spend as less as possible at the grocery store and use everything up instead of throwing it out. 

Eating out is something that we are not able to do now and I have to say that has been the hardest adjustment but I'm doing pretty well. I just tell myself that he is fatting anyway. (lol) I love being able to stay home more.  I not only am able to care for my husband better but have more time to do the crafts that I so love to do.

Below is my menu for this week.  I am using meat that I have bought on sale either last week or in previous weeks.  What food is left over is either eaten at another meal another day or my husband takes it to work with him for his lunch.  Working less means I have more time to cook so that is another plus!

Monday (tonight) Vegetable soup*, cornbread (I had 1 bowl of soup leftover so it will be hubby's lunch tomorrow)
Tuesday - Onion chopped steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, bread and vegetables
Wednesday - Grilled boneless pork chops, baked potato, rolls, salad
Thursday - Fried chicken legs, french fries, cole slaw, rolls
Friday - Pork in crock pot, fried potatoes, cooked cabbage, cornbread

*I got three meals out of the pork roast that I made the vegetable soup with. How's that for stretching? lol

I Think...

I need a new picture of myself. I hate having my picture took. Those darn pictures always make me much more overweight than I know I am. lol Maybe soon.....

Here I Go Again!!

Yep, me and Weight Watchers are seeing each other again on a weekly basis. Doctor wants me to exercise to increase my lung capacity since I am unable to breath in as much as I should and to get some weight off at the same time.  Last week was my first weigh in and I will have to admit I was very disappointed. I lost 1.2 lbs. I was looking for at least 5. It went on quickly so I thought sure it would leave that way too. lol Oh well, better than gaining 1.2 lbs.

Anyone else doing weight watchers?

It's a boy! Baby weighs 8 oz. now and both baby and mommy are healthy and that is all that matters!

Trying Again

Now that I'm ready to start blogging again, I keep losing internet connection. Windstream has been to my house every week for the past month. He really has! As if that isn't enough, I find out yesterday during his weekly visit that they have finally found the problem and it will be two more weeks before they can fix it! I am trying so hard to keep my patience, but it is starting to run really thin!

Get to find out today what Sweet Pea will be. A boy or a girl!! So excited. I vote girl, but we will see.

I had a great Thanksgiving. It is always good when my family is around me. Then I got to go shopping with my favorite sister Saturday! We drew names after Thanksgiving dinner. I got my sisters name and she got mine. lol

All joking aside, I am very thankful for my sister. The Lord has brought her threw a lot and blesses her more everyday. I can't help but think of the song "Where Would I Go". How true the words are to this song. I just asked my sister this weekend what in the world would we do if it wasn't for the Lord?! How do people who are not saved make it without him in this world? I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that.

Have to get off of here and head to work. Hope everyone has a blessed day. May God bless you!

Blessings,
Tammi

Hello To All!

Thought it was about time I posted on here. Been gone longer than I had planned on being. So much has happened since March 2011 since my last post. Let's see...where to start.

Well, we moved from the backwoods to the outskirts of a neighboring city and we love it! I am only minutes from work now instead of 30 minutes. I had been wanting to move for over 20 years and I finally go to! I am happy, happy, happy!

Then my car died and had to buy another vehicle, which I did not want to do. I had my car paid for and was enjoying no bank payment. I always drive my vehicles until they can't go no more. I want my money's worth! lol

We then added a brand spanking new son-n-law to the family and now Matt and my daughter Kelli are expecting their first child (which I have nick named Sweet Pea) and our first grandchild. We are all so excited! It will be the first grandchild for us and for Matt's family also, and the first great granchild for my parents and Matt's grandparents. We will get to find out whether we have a boy or a girl on November 28th. Next Christmas at this time we will have a beautiful grandbaby to spoil and share it with.

I guess that is the major changes that have went on in my life. Oh yeah, I broke down and done something I said I would never do. I bought a dog. Her name is Bella and she is a Bischon Frise. She is four months old and hyper, hyper, hyper! But can turn around and be the sweetest thing. She is great company for me. I will try and post pictures as soon as I can.

Hope everyone is doing fine. Have a great evening!
