I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m quite that happy today but I&#8217;m happy enough. What does that mean exactly? Well, I don&#8217;t know precisely other than any day that I&#8217;m willing to hop out of bed with a smile on my face is happy enough for me. Now, I know I promised all of you a picture post update today and I do promise that it will be coming, but not until later today. You see, I need to get this happy post done so I can write up a quick shopping list and head out to the IGA. Now, y&#8217;all ought to know that something desperate has happened if I&#8217;m willing to shop at the IGA.<\/p>\n<p>The IGA well&#8230;.how do I put this politely?  They suck. I&#8217;m sorry to say it, but it&#8217;s the truth. I think they have all of two employees and their produce looks like stuff that was pulled off other store shelves when it was too bad to sell at that store. I think their products in general have a once a year turn over. So why am I shopping there this week? Well, because my poor van is in need of a new tie rod. Now, while this isn&#8217;t a horribly expensive fix, it&#8217;s expensive enough that it&#8217;s going to have to wait. So, Peter has very nicely agreed to bring the boys over here on Thursday and I&#8217;m making due with a run to the IGA. Thank goodness for ex-husband&#8217;s and crappy stores, eh? I bet not many people say that very often.<\/p>\n<p>Now, since I&#8217;m going to have the boys from Thursday night until Monday night, my menu has to be slightly more thought out. Luckily, I&#8217;ve raised the boys (with their Dad&#8217;s help, of course) to not be picky eaters and they&#8217;re often willing to try new things. I think though, since it&#8217;s Valentine&#8217;s weekend, we&#8217;ll go with some favorites instead..favorites that don&#8217;t require produce&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Monday- Taco Chicken<br \/>Tuesday- Steak w\/ Tatos and veggies<br \/>Wednesday- Pesto Chicken<br \/>Thursday- Homemade Pizza<br \/>Friday- Lasagna<br \/>Saturday- Mac n Cheese w\/ hamburger<br \/>Sunday- Cheeseburgers<\/p>\n<p>There we go. One weekend of favorites. Now, since I&#8217;m starving, I&#8217;m going to grab a bowl of cereal and make my shopping list before popping down to the store.<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doesn&#8217;t that guy\/gal over there look happy?
