I survived the weekend and there was no drama with the step kids here. The kids themselves are not so much the issues as it is the drama with their mother. Some of their issues are just simply from being around her and her craziness.
Since it is Monday it is time for me to get [...]

Wow it has been 4 weeks since I started the reduction of eating out. I had my first war wound last night (I had pasta sauce burn my finger!). I am enjoying the whole learning to cook.
Hubby really like the chicken salad that I made for the Young Life meeting at the house on Tuesday [...]

Yes I am still watching whatt I eat. I am still cooking. The weekends are usually a break time but I woke up early and cooked on Sunday for breakfast and we only ate out for lunch.
I made extra biscuits and bacon for us to have for breakfast today. I made Cincinnatti style chili in [...]

Have you tried Planters trail mix? I am enjoying the Daybreak Blend. It is with berries, almonds, raisins and granola clusters. It is better than a candy bar. Yes they are pricey I am sure (there is 5 in a box – one for every day of the week).
It is a nice guilt free snack.

Here is a baby step that keeps me going. We spent $93 last week eating out. This was Saturday breakfast at Cracker Barrel which is hubby’s absolute favorite.

Hubby and I went to dinner with just Ann and Joe on Saturday. Oh they brought their 3 year old granddaughter who didn’t know how to sit still (most 3 year old don’t). So dinner was short and not much conversation going on.
I went grocery shopping on Sunday. From out the door to back home [...]

Okay let me run this past you and see what you think.
Hubby has hight school friend (lets call them Joe and Ann – names changed to protect the innocent). Hubby has reconnected with them via Facebook. I sorta know J & A from seeing them around town, at the grocery store, etc. And A was [...]

I am on the downhill slide of week #2 of not eating out. Do you realize that some days I ate all 3 meals on the go?! That can in no way shape or form be good for me.
I am growing tired of eating left overs but I will press on. Last night on my [...]
