Monday- Steaks, sweet potatoes fries, corn, and rolls.

Tuesday- Spaghetti & Garlic bread

Wednesday- Crock pot Cubed Steak, mashed potatoes & gravy, green beans, rolls.

Thursday- Tacos

Friday- Homemade pizza & breadsticks

It's just around the corner....

School starts in 6 days. EEK! I bought school supplies today...really....almost $100. WHAT?! What happened to the days where you brought crayons, glues, and scissors? Now it's a mixture of things. My kindergartner has to take highlighters...yup you read that right...HIGHLIGHTERS. WHY?! I understand that times have changed and things are advanced but I still don't understand highlighters for a kindergartner.

Happy August....

Where did summer go? My kids both start school in 9 days. I'm quite saddened this yr...With one in 3rd grade and one just starting kindergarten I feel a little uneasy. There will be no more preschool programs, no more play dates or trips to Pizza Hut after preschool for lunch, no more cute art projects, or sweet Christmas gifts made out of fingerprints.

Where does the time go? With summer ending I look back and realize there was alot I had planned and just never got to it. Makes me sad...could I have balanced my time better and made it happen or was there just not enough hours in the day?

I sit with my date book in front of me and start planning our late summer and fall already. Before you know it you'll start seeing the Christmas countdowns. UGH.
