It's Monday! You know what that means....

Menu Plan Monday!!!!!!!!!!!
Monday: lasagna
Tuesday-leftovers
Wednesday- pork n sour kraut in crock pot and mashed potatoes
Thursday-Chicken tacos, black beans and rice
Friday- spinach Pizza and pepperoni pizza
Saturday- split pea soup and grilled cheese sandwiches
Sunday-chicken teriyaki

I may have to change Sunday's menu to spaghetti because Mikey needs to prepare a meal for us for his Tech Ed class (or what we knew as Home Ec back in the old days) and that is what he wants to make.


no title

I have no idea what to title this post so I just figured no title works. Yesterday was Mikes birthday. We celebrated with a little seafood. Steamed clams and shrimp and crab bisque. Then friends stopped over for cake and ice cream. It was great. After cake, we had a lot of guitar hero going on. We are starting to get pretty good and Brooks is becomming quite a little rocker. So cute. Mike predicts all of the rock songs on there will make a come back. I have to say I agree after watching the kids who have rarely if ever heard the music on guitar hero 3 all singing their little hearts out. Cute stuff.


SO today we are going to my parents for dinner and then back to school for the kids tomorrow. Poor dears. They actually have a full week of school. How ever will they cope?

Stuff

So tell me, what makes Iowa and New Hampshire and I don't know, whoever else does this whole caucus thing such an important or relevant part of the whole election thing? I mean really, do you think there is something in the water in Iowa that makes them better able to say who should run for president? I just don't get it. Personally, I am praying that Clinton doesn't win. For one thing, she is not NOT the candidate with the most experience. Despite the fact that she SAYS she is. Also, she is a liar. OK, that probably makes her a better politician. But how many time did she says he wasn't going to run for president? I mean, really. She said it like 9,240,450,000 times. I know, because I counted! She was so devoted to New York. Yea right. Liar! And Obama. Now there is a man with a lot to say. Sorry. I am not buying it. I do not think he is prepared to run the country and frankly, it scares the piss out of me to think that a Dem, any Dem, may get elected and will want to 1. pull out of Iraq immediately. OK now I admit I would love for this war to be over. I don't like it any more than anyone else but pulling out before the job is done is just dumb. DUMB! and 2. Universal health care. Really dumb idea. DUMB. Just talk to a Canadian. Nuf said.

On to lighter stuff. Head over to my pal Leeanns site. She is running a contest and the prize is awesome, great, fantastic!!! SO go on, do it. You wont regret it. Promise!

Day two and not doing so well

This is only day two of the blog 365 challenge and I just barely am getting this little post in. I don't have a lot to say. Nothing particularly interesting or witty. Sorry! I will try to do better tomorrow.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully, you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve like I did. Surrounded by friends and family and lots of seafood and alcohol. What more could a girl ask for? Oh yea, and chocolate too!

Today is the first day of the Blog 365 challenge. We shall see if I can actually do it. You know, post every day in 2008. If I was a betting gal, I would bet that I will not be able to post every day but ya just never know.

So today we got up really late and decided to go to the movies. We saw Wil Smiths new movie "I am Legand" and it was pretty good. My 14 year old thought it was a little boring. My husband thought that they should have spent more time showing how the virus spread. I agree. It was good but it could have been better.

Then we all came home and played a little guitar hero and made some leftovers for dinner. Overall a very lazy and relaxing day. I needed that as I am nursing a hangover from last night.

Tomorrow the kiddos head back to school and the husband goes back to work. I am looking forward to them all being out of the house and me getting a little peace and quiet. I feel like I am getting a cold so not sure how well I will be feeling but hopefully, I will be up for taking down the tree and putting the Christmas stuff away. I really feel that this season went sooo fast. It seems we just started shopping and decorating and now it is all over. It is kind of anti-climatic ya know? I also want to put my pictures on the computer and post some of them here. So check back tomorrow and see if I can do it...Post every day. Place your bets on how long I last. haha!
