Last week I took a look at the schedule for the upcoming week and realized just how insane it is going to be. My job at school requires me to help coordinate and attend a couple of special meetings every month, and both of this month's meetings fall next week. I will get home at 8PM Monday-Thursday. Add that on top of the online class I teach starting tomorrow, and I'm feeling a bit stressed.
Of course when my schedule is this busy it makes for a hard week for the whole family. Micah has a big deadline this week, and Charlotte has lots of playing to do. When I'm confronted with this type of week I find my best defense is to be really organized. So we've carefully planned who will watch Charlotte when, and I am planning and cooking meals today. I have to eat 8 meals away from home this week, and I'm determined to not eat out. Fast food makes me poor and fat.
So here's the menu plan for today through Saturday!
Breakfasts:
- Cheerios
- Oatmeal with yogurt
- Leftover pizza (We ordered pizza for a babysitter last night and she didn't eat much of it!)
- Wraps- turkey and monterey jack on whole grain pita
- Salads- mixed greens, tomatoes, Newman's light Honey Mustard
- Last of the Baba Ghanoush with bread
- Annie's mac and cheese
Dinners:
- More of the lunch stuff
- Burgundy Mushrooms with Lemon Herb Risotto cake
- Tacos (Micah and Charlotte)
- Mahi-Mahi with Butternut Squash Bake (For Friday and Saturday, to celebrate the end of this crazy week!)
- Jello
- String cheese
- Craisins
- Apples
