This Thursday Autumn begins. And I saw on social media that we have 14 weeks until Christmas. I swear the older I get, time flies faster than a rocket ship.
And we have another week of meal planning. Saturday night I planned for pizza since we finally celebrated M's birthday with his friends. Unfortunately for him, his actual birthday was August 14. That meant we were only back from vacation for 2 weeks, and I was trying to get two boys off to college. I just could not add in another thing. So, I promised him a 10th birthday party, but it would have to wait. Saturday was the day and I think the boys had a fun. I had Game Truck come for the party and the boys had a blast. I've used them in the past for the older boys, and they have always done a good job. But just like everything else, the price increased SIGNIFICANTLY. I was really surprised.
We still have football going on and now this week starts basketball tryouts. I feel like sports just never end and I know I've said it before, but I don't like it. I would put my foot down and say no basketball, but the therapist says that keeping him in sports, helps with his anxiety. How do I argue against sports with that logic? I guess I can't, and I just have to put my head down and plow through. But right now, I'm sports-fatigued.
The puppy and I spent the morning watching the Queen's funeral. Such a historic event. I'm sad it's the end of an era, but she lived such an amazing life of service. Rest In Peace. Job well done.
This week's menu plan. I shopped at Aldi this week and supplemented at Giant Eagle for drinks and cake for the party (the $20 ice-cream cake is up to $27...oy)
Saturday: Sheet pizza for the party
Sunday: Baked Chicken Thighs, pan fried potatoes, and tomato and mozzarella salad (tomatoes from the garden)
Tuesday: Turkey tacos
Wednesday: Turkey burgers and hot dogs on the grill, baked potato, and corn
Thursday: Clean-up Day
Have a blessed week ahead!!
