They had a half day of school on Friday and today off so we&#8217;ve had extra time. It&#8217;s so hard for me to watch them go back to their Dad&#8217;s every week but I know that for now, it&#8217;s what needs to happen. I know that Roger has talked about living with me so who knows, they might end up living here at some point. Until then though, I&#8217;ll enjoy every moment I get to share with them and I&#8217;ll keep working on turning our house into our home.<\/p>\n<p>Now, one of the things that for me makes a house a home is the delicious smell of yummy things cooking. There&#8217;s not much nicer than walking into a house and smelling baking or a soup that&#8217;s been bubbling away. Yum, Yum, Yummy!  I&#8217;m finding out just how much I love to cook and since I got my kitchen cleaned up, it&#8217;s been even more of a pleasure. I made homemade lasagna last night and oh my gosh it was delicious. So good that Ben thinks I should give Donna the recipe..hehe. I know it&#8217;s kind of petty but it makes me grin to hear that I&#8217;m a better cook than her.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ll be here alone this week but that&#8217;s no excuse not to eat delicious food, right? I didn&#8217;t do a great shopping trip on Friday so I may end up having to be a bit creative next week. Thank goodness for the IGA here in town. Their prices are high, their selection minimal but I&#8217;m thankful they&#8217;re there for emergency oops I&#8217;m out of milk trips.<\/p>\n<p>Monday- French Toast<br \/>Tuesday- Leftover Lasagna<br \/>Wednesday- Taco Chicken Packets<br \/>Thursday- Steak w\/ broccoli<br \/>Friday- BBQ Chicken Wraps (HG*, pg. 71)<br \/>Saturday- Chicken Quesdillas (HG, pg. 121)<br \/>Sunday- Chili<\/p>\n<p>Ok, this looks like one super yummy week of food! I&#8217;ll just need to run into the IGA to get some more milk and some tortillas for the wraps\/quesadillas.<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><br \/>* HG &#8211; Hungry Girl Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Monday and I&#8217;m finishing up a wonderful weekend with my boys.
