This week’s plans and menu May 5, 2008
Good Monday all!! I hope you had a terrific weekend.
1. ~Even more laundry. Like it will ever end!
2. ~Grocery shopping. I shop every two weeks and today it the day. I will go right after my Dr’s appt today.
3. ~Gardening- the last of the succession planting will happen this week. That includes corn, beans, squash, lettuce and more. I picked up some herb plants this weekend that need to go in the rock garden.
4. ~Homeschooling. More work on their basic books and finishing up subjects. We will also be doing a lot of planet gazing this month and planning a field trip to Amicalola Falls. I will see if anyone wants to carpool to help with the price of the gas to get there.
5. ~Spiritual Health- I am reading Elizabeth George’s book A Woman After God’s Own Heart. It is such an awesome book. I also have the study guide with it. I like the way she guides you by asking you particular questions about what you read and what you thought. Very inspiring!
6. ~Projects- We will work on gathering rocks and building the walls of the rock garden. The garden is outlined but most of the walls have not yet been built. I am also going to finish the last of the t-posts. I couldn’t get to this last week because of a hand injury. I need to get a fresh bale of hay in the chicken house, ask my neighbor to backfill the retaining wall Mr. Muscles finished and build a second chicken run.
7. ~My cleaning zone this week will be the kids’ rooms. Our May assignment for Organizing Junkie’s Monthly Round Up is kid’s rooms. I am very excited about getting their rooms done!

On our yummy menu this week is:
*Herb breaded chicken with black eyed peas, asparagus, fresh sliced veggies.
*Roast with sweet potato casserole and green beans.
*Tuna Salad (nice cold meal on a warm day)
*Veggie pizzas
*BBQ Chicken stew
*Hamburgers with potato salad, corn and Greek salad.
*Saturday night is the night Mr. Muscles treats us all to dinner out. Woo hoo, no cleaning that night!
All meals are homemade and if you are interested in a recipe just let me know. I will post it with next week’s menu.
For more Meandering Mondays visit Tiany and for more Menu Monday visit Organizing Junkie.
Ya’ll have a very blessed week and don’t forget to leave me a comment. I love them and then I get to come visit you!
