Menu for the week

This is the menu for the week for those of you worrying about us dying of malnourishment. Feel free to offer advice or a yummy diabetic recipe. I'm all ears, especially for breakfast and lunch. For Breakfast and lunch, I list the menu and how many days we have it. Not in a row of course. It's spread through the week. And on days where it says "sandwich" (for example) it might say sandwiches for 3 days but have different sandwiches. Like tuna, bologna and grilled cheese. If you want vivid details I could post that later.

 

Breakfast:

1 day: cereal. (Usually Sunday)

2 days: eggs, bacon, toast.

2 days: oatmeal and a meat. 

1 day: pancakes with jelly or sugar free "syrup".

1 day: Pick your own/ left overs.

 

Lunches:

2 days: Sandwich and soup

2 days: Salads!

1 day: open face pizza sandwiches with salad

1 day: Hotdogs with a veggie

1 day: McDonald's Happy Meals (usually on Sunday... my week starts on Monday)

 

Dinners are sorted by meal. I cook what I have time for. I plan for 1 protein, 1 veggie and 1 carb. Sometimes more than that.

 

Pork chops

Brussel Sprouts

Cooked apples

 

Roast with carrots

Mashed Potatoes

Mac and cheese

Salad

 

Chicken

Black beans and rice

Omelets

Sausage patties/ bacon

Buttermilk biscuits (1 each)

SNACKS: we wing it. Crackers and cheese, PB&J, popcorn or whatever we are having at the time.

I am not talking to myself, I am having a parent-teacher conference

I guess it just takes a while to post from my email now. I changed a few setting s and my email posted (albeit very funkified) I think I will continue to work on it from emails for now. How does my new template look?

House Cleaning

Well, now that the stomach virus is done with us, I can get back to
cleaning out the house. We have our "schedule" set up and I think it
should work okay. We're going to tweak it as needed. I had to add a few
things to the routine so I wouldn't forget. I added "Shot time" for Mendel
and I to take our Byetta injection (we're diabetic) and pill time during
meal. Miles build his own volcano on the back porch (yea) complete with
vents and glowing lava. He even told me the baking powder in the bottom
will be the magma until it explodes. :)

I am going to work on reading with Mendel since he wants to read RIGHT NOW
but is frustrated that he has to learn all the sounds (what a bummer).
I'll keep working with him on the Teach Your Child To Read book and show
him words outside the book. We're going to do Family math along with
Math-U-See since it has great ideas for hands on math. And science will
have words that Mendel can sound out typed in BOLD in the instructions. He
read two sentences out of a book today without any prompting! He was so
proud of himself. And claims he can't read.

Miles tried that with me today, but I know better. He can't read fast out
loud and has some trouble with larger words, but he can to read! We found
a finger test to help him find books he can read. You flip to a page in a
book and start reading... hold up one finger for every word you do not
know or can not pronounce.

1 Finger: This book is o.k. for you.
2 Fingers: Still good.
3 Fingers: Could be a bit hard for you to understand.
4 Fingers: Will be too difficult to read and understand.
5 Fingers: Choose another book.

I figure this will help him gain some confidence b/c when he is reading
"just to read" and not reading b/c he thinks he is trying to read, he does
a lot better.

Anyway, I need to get to bed.

Good-Night

I'm not talking to myself, I'm having a Parent-Teacher Conference.

Well, I guess I can't email my blog anymore. That stinks! Oh well. So to fill you in on the emailed posted that never made it.

1) I'm organizing house

2) We've all been sick. It was quite graphic.

3) HI MOM!

Okay, We are going to the homeschool group tomorrow and I need to get to bed. I guess I'll figure out why it won't post my emails anymore. I'll keep posting from the site until then.

TATA!

Well, that is weird. I know I emailed my blog twice since being back. Sorry about that Donna and Robin! We made it to Decatur just fine. Got here about 3:30AM. I emailed the blog and then again this AM. I just hopped on to show Jetamio my blog and it doesn't show any new posts since I was in Illinois. DANG!

Sorry to worry you if I did.

We're looking up runes right now. Monday we are going to be making our own sets of runes and I am also making an amulet to quit smoking. Tomorrow we are running to the house and see what food we have and unpack some. Tomorrow night we'll stay at my mother in laws house and then we'll come back to Jetamio's house until our power is turned on. Should be a week.

I am going for now... I see deviled eggs!!! MMMMMMM!
