High School Reading

I have gotten back into reading lately. I love reading, I love books, but sometimes I go through a spell where I just don't get to do it. If I don't have the time to commit to finishing a book within a week or so, I just don't even bother. 

I have gotten through a few books this past month, (YAY!). One of them was one I "read" in high school. To Kill A Mockingbird.  I don't remember how much I actually read back then, probably not much because I was BLOWN AWAY with how good it was reading it now. Either I didn't really read it, or just didn't appreciate it as a teen. Either is entirely possible. I was a horrible student and if was required of me, I didn't want any part of it. I have a list of books that I pretended to read in school that I am going to reread. Next up is Cold Sassy Tree. I have ZERO clue what this book is about, so I guess I will be surprised. Although, I did write a paper on it......... 



Meal Planning

I envision this being some wonderful blog, just like some of the ones I follow. However, it won't be and that's OK. What you will find here is a cluster of ramblings coming from inside my crazy brain. I'm really trying to get organized and cook most nights, so there will be recipes and menu planning, I hope. If I happen to stumble upon some wonderful organization or cleaning tip or product or something, I will share it. There will most likely be things I am currently aggravated with or people I am praying for. My hope is seeing things on here, I will be able to remember and stay focused on things I really want to do! 

First up is my menu plan for NEXT week. Since it's Wednesday, I feel like this week is already a wash, BUT, I am planning next week so I can hit the ground running come Monday. Monday's will most likely always be a crockpot meal. We have 2 hours of soccer practice that night and by the time we get home, it's bed time. I like to have it ready so we can eat and leave. 

I'm also thinking of maybe designating a certain type of meal to a certain day, like Mexican Tuesdays, or Italian Wednesdays, but I feel like we may get tired of that. Thursday is almost ALWAYS Chick-Fil-A day. We have been doing that for around 2 years. I don't really remember how or why that started but around Tuesday, Hubby is always saying "It's almost Chick-Fil-A day." I would really like us to not eat out other than that, but it doesn't always work that way. That is why I am going to try menu planning (again).
