Busy, Busy, Busy

I feel so out of the loop. I have worked two days this week at Oak Hall (where my boys go to school) and taken Seth to Oklahoma City to get his hearing aid, so I feel like I haven't been at home hardly at all, just to sleep and run through the house cleaning up what I can as I go. I totally have respect for working Mothers with small children, after just a small taste of what that could be like, I realize how difficult it could be. I feel so fortunate to be a stay at home Mom, and I am very thankful for that.

On another note, I feel like I have neglected my blogs, and missed out on new information from my bloggy Mom friends. Of course this notion is kind of silly, as my husband always reminds me that I am not getting paid for any of my blogging (at least not in cash, not yet anyway) and that I need to plug-in to life, and turn off the computer, which is very true. So I have had a nice little unplugged couple of days, unless you count using my iPhone, which as great and wonderful as it is, it's still not the same as the real thing! I am signing off for now, we are watching a movie, and having some family time, but I will be back-Lord willing.

Menu plan thanks to Naturally Thin & Bethenny Frankel

I succumbed to my desires, and purchased the book Naturally Thin by Bethenny Frankel, who is one of the witty Real Housewives of NYC on the Bravo series. She is by far my favorite lady on the NYC series, (which is strange, considering I would have the very least in common with her) and when I heard about her book that contains recipes, menus, and plain old-fashioned tips on "freeing yourself from a lifetime of dieting" I just couldn't resist. Being a former "skinny girl" myself, I am on a track to find out a-how to get skinny again, and b-why I became overweight in the first place. So, this week our menu will be guided by my favorite reality housewife from NYC (Bethenny) and I hope to see some results, while still satisfying my ever-hungry palate!

Monday-Mexican Chili, with sides of baked tortilla chips, and reduced fat cheese
Tuesday-Goat Cheese/Sundried Tomato Chicken Breasts, asparagus, salad, and zucchini
Wednesday-Classic Bolognese Lasagna, light garlic toast, salad
Thursday-Comfort Turkey Meatloaf, healthy mashed cauliflower, whole grain rolls
Friday-Shrimp Scampi, Cous Cous, green beans
Saturday-Spinach Cannelloni, salad
Sunday-Leftovers

Wish me luck, cause my hubby might kill me after I make all of this "girly" food this week!
