Monday in all it's glory

Today was a Monday for sure.  I am worn out. 

Last night the wind and rain kept us up most of the night.  It was so bad, Layla woke up terrified and got in bed with us.  She isn't the calmest sleeper, between her and the rest of the storm it was a long night.  I'm sure I have never heard the wind blowing that hard my entire life.  I was just as scared as Layla.  Isn't it funny when you are scared you lay as still as possible?  As if that is going to make the wind stop blowing 70 mph.

It was just a weird day for me.  I was in a blah mood.  Have you ever had a blah day?  Not a bad day, and not a good day, just a blah day. 

I was starving all day long.  Weight Watchers is making me mad and irritable.  I think not, I think I just wanted to eat everything in site today.  I like to make excuses and blame WW for my grumpiness.

I went through all of Hayden's clothes.  I was hoping it would take 20-30 minutes and it took me all morning long.  That boy has TONS of clothes, but I managed to get rid of his old stuff and move the winter stuff out of his room for now.  Bring on spring and summer weather and a wardrobe to match!

I went to Target and shopped for the necessities and it was still over $100.00.  Every time I go to the store it is $100.  Gary and I just laugh when the clerk tells us the total.  Diapers are going to be the death of our checking account.  I need to start clipping coupons like the ladies I have seen on Extreme Couponing.  Have you seen that show?  Those people go to the grocery store and buy $500 worth of stuff for $5.00.  That is NUTS!  I am jealous, but I don't want to stock pile stuff like they do.

I picked the kids up from school and headed to Layla's gymnastics class.  We were sitting in the waiting/viewing area and Hayden pooped his pants. Uggh!  I changed him in the car and went to the bathroom to wash my hands.  Hayden and I went into the unisex bathroom behind a little boy.  He pee peed on the seat.  That is so disgusting.  I am really a clean freak and I have a very hard time with dirty bathrooms.  I hope I can stress to Hayden how gross being nasty is.  That little boy left a mess for a little gymnast to sit on.  Had I not been in the bathroom, someone else may have sat in that.  YUCK!!!! 

Tonight dinner and baths and bedtime = brutal!!

Hayden never eats.  I am quite sure he will shrivel up and float away.  He makes a mess and puts his food into his drink and plays.  I just took him away from the table tonight, bathed him and put him to bed.  He is such a mess right now.  He is trying to become an independent 2 1/2 year old, but doesn't know how.

I know, taking pictures of him really helps the behavior right?!

Anyway I am so happy to have both munchkins tucked into bed.  I love my kids and this stay at home mom gig, but whew!  This evening wore.me.out.  I know all of you can relate to wild and crazy days of some sort or another.

Our menu for the week... 

~Monday~

Veggie pasta bake & cheddar garlic biscuits

This was so delicious!  I pretty much just threw a ton of veggies into a saute pan and then added pasta sauce and penne pasta.  I topped it with cheese and threw it in the oven.  It was mighty tasty for a veggie casserole.  Maybe I'll post the recipe soon.

~Tuesday~

Egg pie & pancakes

~Wednesday~

Red top Rounds{mini meatloaves} and baked potatoes...kids hate potatoes, so they will  have carrots.

~Thursday~

Honey mustard chicken, baked bean and a veggie  **new recipe


Tomorrow is one of Hayden's last few swimming lessons.  I hope it goes well.  We will decide in the next few lessons if we should move forward.

So, that is all I have tonight.  I am heading to bed to get some much needed rest!
