It’s Monday again!  Busy week ahead as my husband works a ton and we settle back into a somewhat normal routine after a week of camp, a week of cousins, and a week of VBS. It’s been super busy around here!  Time to get serious!  Here’s what I’m making this week:

Monday:  Low Carb Jalapeno Popper Chicken

Tuesday: Black Bean burritos

Wednesday: Spaghetti and Meatballs

Thursday: Steak, broccoli

Friday: Eggs, Gluten-Free Sausage Balls

Saturday: Skillet Kielbasa and Brussels with Mustard Butter Sauce

Sunday: Leftovers or sandwiches or cereal

Well, it should be Meal Plan Monday, but it’s Tuesday already!  And honestly we’ve already eaten dinner tonight, but I need to make a plan for the rest of the week.  It’s been so busy around here since our baby was born almost 5 weeks ago.  We’ve been so blessed to have meals from friends that I’m just now starting to cook again.  On top of that, we had to evict tenants and our tenant in our other house is moving out since he was transferred.  We are trying to sell both houses and get away from renting so it’s just been insane.  Know anyone that wants to buy a cute house in Winder or Danielsville? 🙂

Anyways, I need to make a meal plan so my family doesn’t end up eating out every night!  Here goes:

Tuesday: Crockpot Chicken Alfredo with broccoli

Wednesday: Breakfast for dinner – eggs, biscuits, sausage

Thursday: Whole chicken and carrots in the crock pot

Friday: Pizza!

Saturday: Black bean quesadillas

Sunday: Leftovers

What are you making this week?

As you may have noticed in my Meal Plan Monday post, there are a ton of boxes around here!  That’s because we finally have found a house!  We have been searching for a home in Athens in a specific area and our fantastic realtor, Laura Flanders, finally found one for us!  We have been looking for almost 2 years!  Crazy!  I definitely recommend Laura if you are buying or selling.  She sold 2 rental houses for us and helped us find our dream home!  If you contact her, tell her Mommy Octopus sent you.  She’s a good friend and would love to know that you heard about her from me.

The next few weeks, I will likely not be on too much as we are trying to get the new house painted and fixed up, just the way we want it for our family.

I cannot wait to move in for a little more breathing room, and my favorite part, a SCHOOLROOM!  This will make homeschooling so much better!  I plan to have a chalkboard wall in our homeschool room, which will be awesome!  I’ll definitely share photos once we have the new schoolroom set up!

Have a great weekend!

I got a couple emails today wondering about Meal Plan Monday and other normal blog posts.  And why the heck am I so behind?  The answer?  I’m losing my mind!  Okay, not quite, but we’re preparing for a cross country road trip, leaving at 3am Friday morning!  I’ve been scrambling to pack for 6 people, make sure we’ve got our house and pet sitter ready with instructions, moving everything back in from storage (house didn’t sell, so staying put right now), and everything else.

So the answer?  There is no meal plan!  Eating leftovers, stuff from our bountiful basket, and anything else that may go bad while we’re gone.  Although, I suppose I could leave some of that for our house sitter….

Anyways, we’re gearing up to spend 2 days in Hershey and Lancaster, PA.  Then on to Buffalo New York!  Any readers out that way?

Never fear though, I have a great assistant who is going to be doing some blogging for me and I’ll try to blog some as well when I’m not trapped in the van with 4 kids and a hubby.  Pray for my sanity on our adventure… and that I don’t freeze going from the warmth of the south (70s here today!) to the north.  I shiver just thinking about it.  I will be back in a week or 2 to defrost and then we’ll be back to business as usual.  Or not so usual since it will be crazy until after Christmas.  Nevertheless, I shall return!
