But...I aspire to be better organized with dinners. But, mostly, I've given up.<br /><br />Well, okay, that's not totally true.<br /><br />I refuse to stress myself out. And planning does keep me from stressing daily. It takes a lot of energy to get started but once I do, it really helps.<br /><br />If we have time, I plan some meals for the week on Sunday (I make CG talk them through with me so I can be sure when he'll be home.), then I buy the needed groceries on Monday. Then I schedule in days for take-out, left-overs and eating at CG's workplace (they have a cheap restaurant/pub in house that ROCKS). <br /><br />(Most importantly, I LOVE the title to this post.

With meals I've gotten better the last few months. We have a dry erase refrigerator thing. I create an idea of a menu plan really, and I also list other ingredients that might be a good meal sometime when needed. I don't schedule every day, and I do write in leftover days. It's helped.Mommy Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272248293460562006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-26687887018516372262011-04-05T20:05:38.988-07:002011-04-05T20:05:38.988-07:00Or there's the zillion times we're running...Or there's the zillion times we're running late and I'm snapping at the kids to hurry HURRY HURRY! even as my inner voice whispers that it is way more my fault than theirs that we're behind schedule.<br /> --- Totally me.d e v a nhttp://www.all-d.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-40855566733595632112011-04-05T17:59:44.813-07:002011-04-05T17:59:44.813-07:00About once every two months, I swear I will do bet...About once every two months, I swear I will do better with dinners. I spend Sunday cooking two or three different things that we can eat throughout the week with minimal prep time. It never lasts long. I don't understand people who can do this regularly.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208693126891771898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-83563829327073685212011-04-05T16:38:38.761-07:002011-04-05T16:38:38.761-07:00Ugh...dinnertime is a constant battle at our house...Ugh...dinnertime is a constant battle at our house too. I always wish to do some awesome home cooked meal but we usually end up with spaghetti or stir fry or sandwiches.
