Thank Goodness I'm not Mother Hubbard

Yay! I have actually made a Two Week Menu Plan :) My first in a VERY long time. Turns out, my cupboard was not as empty as Mother Hubbard's. Actually organizing and checking to see what I already had...my grocery list kinda looks pathetic. Hmmm...makes a difference to keep our wants off of it and only list the needs. And the kids already know the restaurant has been shut down and the kitchen only features "The Special of the Evening"

Week 1

Monday: Meat Loaf

Mashed Potatoes

Candied Carrots

Tues: Spinach Tortellini

Chicken

Wed: Church Dinner

Thurs: Dinner at My Mom's

Fri: Hot Dog and Fries

Sat: Chili

Cornbread

Sun: Stew

Corn Muffin

My grocery bill was only 25$ WOW :D

Henny Penny Moment

I woke up this morning and had this over whelming feeling. The sky is falling! No, not the sky just my house. You see, I do have this habbit of making a mountain out of a mole hill.


OMGosh! After a long rain yesterday I found a small puddle like on my front porch. Well it was no where near a drainspout, so I followed it to is source. Arrh, the corner of my front door and some drips I noticed hanging on a piece of siding. It must be a leak in the roof line!!! OMGosh Im gonna have to replace the roof!!! I wont mention the SINK HOLE in my front yard. So the roof is going to cave in, we will die from mold or get swallowed by the black hole that looms under the house.

Gee Wiz! After paying for that, now there is gonna be NO : Wedding (yes, I'll still get married), Honeymoon, Scottland, John Campbell. Booohhhhoooooohhooooo. Ok, so now I am ROFC. (rolling on floor crying, people, ok that's what that acronym stands for)

OK, scene 1 = in walks my most wonderful fiance and comforts me. " sweetie, everything will be just fine. All that can still happen" Hugs wimpering, soon to be wife - Kisses her passionately

Scene2 = in walks Foxy Loxy and eats all of Henny Penny's friends. Henny Penny runs away SCREAMING "THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!"

For all of those sadly mistaken Chicken Little Fans, Henny Penny was the original chicken to claim "The sky is falling!" Her friends were Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky (not so lucky, he was eaten by Foxy Loxy), Goosey Loosey, Turkey Lurkey and a poser named Foxy Loxy. No wonder why I had nightmares when I was little. Old nursery rhymes, bedtime story, and lullabyes were AWEFUL!

Ring! Ring! It's a New Year!

Ok, NO i didn't stay up to ring in the New Year. Thats predictable about me. I am not an owl. After the 2 hr ride from picking up my BG I was pretty much done for the eve. Of course I planned to stay up! I did..... but my insides were painfully kicking my butt again, and was having no part of it.:( I informed the kids what the expectations were. *Everyone get along *No whining *No complaining *No being selfish * Talk nice * Lift each other up * and lastly * No blowing up the house! Of course, I am available to be woken up every 30 min or so (Right) to be asked a question to verify that they were allowed to this or that. Last ? at 2:30am Punkin asked "ya want the boys to go to bed, cause I'm going to sleep and SD (stepduaghter) is already asleep?" "Yes" I respond. I think that was my response to all questions asked. Hmmm...I am just glad they dont ask me some wild question that I agree too. Like "Can I take the car to get some Velda milk" Come to think of it, they did ask something about fireworks. So the kids entertained themselves and each other and I woke up to a house fully entacted. Whew.."Thank you Lord for your protection" :D

My fiance came over at 8am with PCOC (Perfect Cup of Coffee) and we had a nice discussion about the upcoming year. Resolutions, concerns, goals and such. We had devotional time as well. 90%of married couples that pray together stay together.

I am my father's daughter. I am a list maker. (ooh, maybe I'll put that in my profile:) Umm.....works well for me...but others ..... well, seem less than thrilled for me to make lists for them...hehe

So here are some of my resolutions, goals, things to do, call it what ya like. I am entering it on my blog to help me with accountability. LOL, only 2 peeps follow but maybe that will change.

2010 my perpetual list begins:
#1 Conquer my biggest fear.....my fear of failing. It is quite shameful really, how bad that fear immobilizes me and to the magnitude the fear is. It is bit scarry to say that out loud. From using crafting material, (I might mess it up and I would of wasted my money) to hanging pictures (arrangment not being right and having holes that need to be patched and can't match the paint, ending up with a wall w/patch marks all over) ok moving on :)
*read the TRUTH - the Bible not books about it but IT
*loose weight - I have wedding pictures in 3months that I have to look good for.
*excersice - I want to be an active parent and eventually grandparent and enjoy my old age :)
*Free myself of clutter
*Actively plan for finacial security
*nurture relationships
*improve and developing this Blog - ooo, maybe have some more followers hehe
*allow God to mold me all over again :)

I did say this was perpetual so I am going to stop for now. More on planning on how to accomplish these said....whatever ya want to call them...goals, resolutions, etc.....later.
I look forward to the years to come and documenting them so when memories fade they can be refreshed again. :)

*cultivate and improve property
