good idea to have them take away the biscuits at red lobster. or better yet when they first seat you, tell them "no biscuits please". then you won't even have to look at them!
how was my weekend? cold! and we're also dealing with ds having some virus (maybe even the flu). whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be hitting him too hard. he's just got a cough and fever. most of the time, his energy levels are great -- he's playing a lot! -- and his appetite is good. so i think that whatever it is, it isn't too serious. that said, we're just monitoring his temperature and keeping it down with ibuprofen, and making sure he gets plenty of fluids. he will have to stay home tomorrow because his temp was 101.2 at 12:30 today and we will need him to be fever free for 24 hours without medicine before sending him to school. luckily, hubby is off work anyway for fall break so i won't have to take the day off.
challenges this week? probably the biggest challenge will be making sure we don't eat out too often. i don't feel like cooking much lately. i know - that's not like me - but it is like a very pregnant me! :-) i'm already worn out when i get home from work, so i don't feel like being on my feet more.
but to make dinners easier, i've gotten some "convenience foods" for this week -- like heat-n-eat roast from the deli section, tyson frozen grilled chicken breast, that sort of thing. i can pair a quick protein like that with a pkg of ready rice and a frozen vegetable. should make dinner a snap! also got a couple of new pasta sauces, so that will make a quick supper, too. boil pasta, toss in sauce, nuke some frozen veggies. and dinner is served!
