Retreat House

WOW is all I can say that house was so awesome. Here are a few pics from the weekend.
Me, Betsy and Celeste.
Rebecca, Victoria and Jenefer. My mom, she sewed instead of scrapbooking.
This is the scrap room, it was so cool there was a tv in two corners so which ever side of the table you were sitting on you could see a tv. Visiting Seaside, OR

Getting excited!

We have a birthday party to go to on saturday. I work at the store one last time this Monday so hopefully time will fly by.

Menu Plan Monday

You have to try a recipe from last week the Buffalo chicken lasagna, all I can say is YUMMY. We all loved it, even my 'never likes anything' 3 yo. liked it.

So this week I have several appointments; an eye exam, WIC, dog to the groomer, set up school for 3 yo and then we have a bday party on Saturday. So this week shouldn't be to bad, but I do only have 11 days left till I leave on my retreat, YEA, so very excited so I need to take some time and go through all my stuff and get lots of pics developed.

The wedding yesterday we went to for our really good friends was great, Derek (hubby) got too drunk, but what else is new. I will post a few pics in my post tomorrow.

Tonight we are heading over to my sister's house so the husbands can watch the UFC fight, the guys get together every fight. Got lots of great food to eat and my hubby of course is so hung over he doesn't even want wings (now for all of you that know him know that is major).

Ok that was alot of rambling so here is my menu for the week. Some new recipes and some nice easy ones too.

~Easy and delicious chicken over pasta w/ broccoli

~Steak Stir fry (peppers and broccoli) w/ brown rice

~Country Chicken Casserole w/ grilled green beans

~Ground beef stew over garlic mashed potatoes

~Ravioli lasagna , garlic toast

~Monterrey Jack Chicken w/ garlic mashed potatoes

~Eat out night

~Leftover night

i hate being sick.

Ah I hate being sick. It just takes everything out of you. My 3 yo and I got sick Sunday morning, well we actually shared the flu. I had the bad stomach pains, runs, and was so weak tha i had a hard time walking around, and he had the vomiting. I couldn't get out of bed all day. Then yesterday I was still really weak so I would get up and do what I could around the house, then lay down, then do it all again just so the house wouldn't get to messy.
So this means that I didn't do my menu for the week or the usual Monday running errands and grocery shopping. I hate when things like that put you behind.
The rest of my week is so busy also. I have a root canal on Wednesday, my last day of work on Thursady, wedding on friday and the UFC fight on Saturday night. We are going to be busy busy. Plus the usual house stuff, cleaning and cooking.
After this week though it will be smooth sailing and i will be counting down till my scrap retreat on the 21st till the 24th of August. very very excited. It is by the ocean and 3 hours away from my house. YEA! no kids no hubby no cleaning or cooking. and lots of scrapbooking. sounds goog to me.
