Hello to everyone from the Warm Twin Cities of MN where it is above 50F today and I have a window open just the tiniest bit. Where last week it was so cold school was canceled. Keeping a nervous eye on the growing marsh of snow melt in the neighbor’s yard as if we get any rain we will have flooding problems. Silly water running down hill.
I haven’t posted for awhile as things have been crazy (sewer line out repair, skating, work, life) but with Theater week in progress I need to have a plan to manage rehearsals and the constant need to the statement “Mom I need a Food!” Actuals and plans for 2 adults and 2 growing girls. (also, does anyone know where the hand me down size 10 jammies and pants are? Asking for a friend. . .)
Weds 19" Leftover white chicken chili after skating. Spinach salads on the side
Thurs 20: My 2nd time ever supervising a student. So stressful as I have to think about why I do things that have been a habit for over 20 years but she was asking lots of good questions. Lazy mommy’s fish tacos with a few onion rings I found in the freezer too.
Fri 21: Got done with work early and was feeling lazy. Meatballs from freezer, quick red sauce, pasta. Spinach side salads
Sat 22: I was having a rough time “girl wise” Did not want to cook/no interest in food related decisions. So Mr Autumm got take out for the 3 of them. Nothing for me. Not a goo evening
Sun 23: My committee meeting ran late. Leftover meatballs for them and a drive thru spicy chicken sandwich with cheese curds for me.
Mon 24: Tonight! Big kiddo dress rehearsal and skating. Leftover Monday. Shepard’s pie (freezer), frozen waffles with fruit, avocado toast
Tues 25: Grilling some burgers to celebrate we can get the grill blankie off the grill to use it. Maybe some pasta salad, spinach salad on the side for sure
Weds 26: Both kiddos skate but dress rehearsal overlaps with skating time. And teacher conferences right after. Not sure at the moment.
Thurs 27: Performance #1. Probably some soup for big kiddo first and little one’s request for the rest of us
Fri 28: Performance #2: Call is at 6 and she gets done at 930. Maybe a pot pie for big kiddo, Mr Autumm will fend for himself as he is going to that show. Ladies night for me and little one. Hoping I can talk her into a bubble bath after dinner so I can glass of wine and chill
Sat 1: Last day of theater performance. Little one and I will go to the afternoon matinee which just happens to overlap with FIL’s birthday thing. Such a bummer. Probably takeout of some form for everyone as there is only a 90 minute dinner gap between performances. Half the kids walk to the Arby’s/McDonalds down the street but she needs a sensory break. Cast party after. A long day
Sun 2: Something with lots of vegetables and an early bed time. There are scallops in the freezer but they aren’t a kid favorite
Mon 3: Big kiddo gets her braces tightened and first day of skate show practices. . .
There will also be at least one batch of baked apples aka Apple crisp for breakfasts and i think Sally’s pumpkin bread with chocolate chips for snacks. Thanks for reading my very not planned plans and finding peace within ourselves
