It’s been a while. Two weekends ago I went to Charleston – I have a draft post on that weekend trip that I only ever get tiny snippets of time to write and apparently I will never finish. Last weekend, family came to town and we went camping-ish – we weren’t far from home and I brought the boys back for naps/laundry/cleaning/nighttime sleep, but Jack and the Professor stayed in the tent and we ate camp meals. The weeks between were slam packed with work – billable and nonbillable work, so much. I’ve had a cold and cough that keeps me from sleeping for approximately forever. The children were also sick in various heinous and high-fevered ways over the last month.
The days are gray and chill. I kept a fire going all day yesterday, which was nice, but the baby keeps trying desperately to crawl right into it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve washed soot off his tiny baby hands.
This is the week’s meals. I tried to get up the energy today to pre-make some of it, but just couldn’t do it. This cough has me wrecked. So instead I’ll leave work in time to make it all each day. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA sorry I just had to live in that pipe dream for a second. No, more likely I’ll wake up early and prep the day’s dinner before I go to work. I also make lunches and breakfasts for everyone at that time – what’s one more meal?
The baby is crying, so I will go and rescue him from his bed, where he just had a nice long nap. Hope to write again soon – maybe daydream about Charleston and try to finish up that draft of a post.
DINNERTIME
Monday: 1 pan chicken with broccoli, carrots, and potatoes
Tuesday: Thai turkey meatballs with rice
Wednesday: Fall super salad plus carrot soup from a container
Thursday: Crock pot gyros with flatbread and tzatziki
Friday: Tortelloni and sauce
The crock-pot gyros sound AMAZING! Can you do a review?
The crock pot gyros were indeed AMAZING. And so super easy. I cheated and bought dill yogurt sauce that was already prepared, and I did the “fast heat on high” option – very simple flavors but very good. I also made rice with cinnamon and raisins which went well with it. It was actually kind of hard to find pita pockets/flat bread, but I did finally find some.
I’m totally trying the crock pot gyros tonight!
