Hello to everyone from the slowly melting Twin Cities of MN where just above freezing day time temps are making a dent in the snow pack (foot plus!) but refreezing every night. I think I need ice skates to get to my car safely. My parents keep asking when they can come visit and help paint the house- I keep deferring because they will loose their collective marbles at the state of my driveway- the dumpster and porta potty means all snow has to go to one side only- and the workers have the fancy big trucks so they just drive over everything.
Good news is the reno is progressing: cabinets went in this week and they are soooo pretty I was scared to touch them. Also super relieved I liked them- was a bit worried about color. Regretting life choice of “we can handle the priming and painting to save money” but what can we do at this point. I am considering it a low impact total body workout. We should be back home in less than 6 weeks! Freaking out about packing up the apartment to move. . . but so looking forwards to getting away from this *($Y(@ radiant electric stove top. Thanks for reading my venting!
Not as much cooking as I would like for 2 adults and 2 growing girls where we said we would have both upstairs bathrooms primed by Tuesday also the only functioning bathroom we have is the porta potty in the front yard:
Mon 9: Both girls skated. Leftover takeout pizza. Mr Autumm ate all of the extra salad. Grumpy!
Tues 10: Breakfast for dinner! Leftover sheet pan pancakes (Freezer) with scrambled eggs
Weds 11: Blue box for them, not much for me: We had from 2 on Weds afternoon till Thurs morning to get the kitchen sheet rock primed before cabinets went in. GAH! Mr Autumm’s first time in a long time solo on dinner and bedtime
Thurs 12: Lazy mommy’s shrimp tacos with black beans, guac, salad from a sack
Fri 13: Tonight! Drive through takeout after both girls skated back to back
Sat 14: Some prep of leftover prime rib from Christmas (freezer), hot crashed potatoes, salad, other veg possibly depending on how priming the bathroom drywall goes
Sun 15: Leaning towards take out pizza as much priming will be happening (also leftover pizza is a good thing)
Mon 16; No school day. I think both kiddos will skate back to back. I have frozen ravioli in the freezer. Big kiddo is doing vestibular training on the spinner to work on her spins/jumps so I really don’t want her eating before
I need to get a plan in place for later this week Big kiddo competes in Duluth but Mr Autumm and little kiddo won’t join us until Saturday so need a meal plan for them. Also need to plan for all the snacks and everything for us as its a 25 minute walk to the rink from our hotel and her practice ice is at 635 AM. . .
