A Day in the Life Vlog #1

So, just to hold you over until I decide what all I am going to post on this blog, I thought I would share this.

 
I uploaded this on my youtube last week.

So hi there,

Today, I bit the bullet and set this blog up. I'm  a little scared.  No kidding.

You see, I wanted a place to talk about all the things that go along with getting a divorce.  Which, if Im being honest with you…sucks.

Im thinking this blog will have a lot of “Going through divorce” stuff on it.  Personal posts about how I am adjusting to being newly single at nearly 40.  Posts about how me and my kids are getting through this.  Lots of MOM type posts (SINGLE MOM and SAHM), because above everything else that goes down during this divorce – my kids remain my priority. Ya know?  Parenting, cooking, family life, etc…

Anyway…

This is the first post, of many to come.  Thank you for stopping by, I mean that.  I look forward to getting to know you and you, me.  Please look over on the right and either follow my blog using bloglovin’ or subscribe by email.  That way you wont miss a post!

Meal Plan Monday: Sept 16–22, 2013

I can’t believe I forgot to post this again, haha.  Here is my meal plan for this week.

MONDAY	Lasagna Homemade Garlic toast and Homemade Cheesy Mozzarella Toast *No left overs this time! How’d that happen?!
TUESDAY	Frugal Chili (recipe is HERE)
WEDNESDAY (Left Over Night)	Chili Dogs
THURSDAY (GRILL NIGHT)	Steak Baked Potatoes Rice Steamed Veggies – (MY STEAMER is like this one, just older model– LOVE IT!)
FRIDAY	It’s the weekend and everyone is busy!  So this is our “FEND FO’ YO’SELF NIGHT!”
SATURDAY	TBA:  The kids will be with their Dad, so not sure what I’ll do for myself. Probably just throw a pizza in the oven.  Remember when I bought all these to last us through the summer? Don’t laugh, I got 80 Pizzas & Pizza Rolls for $40 Well summer is about over, and I still have about half a deep freeze of pizzas.  Am wanting to clear those out so I can stock up on meat for the winter. Plus, I usually do them little suckers up right! I add EVERYTHING.  Green and red bells, olives, baby spinach, tomatoes, and either mozzarella or provolone!
SUNDAY	Probably, Breakfast For Dinner.   There is just something about a big breakfast on Sunday that reminds me of being a kid, and since the kids wont be here when I get up, I imagine, I’ll end up cooking Breakfast for dinner.   I usually do up: Scrambled Eggs Honey Butter Biscuits Homemade Sausage Gravy Maple Bacon

So, not such a bad week for me, overall.  Grocery wise: I spent $177 and some change – BUT I still need to buy fresh veggies for THURSDAY, and more milk and bread.  So I would say my food budget for this week hit around $250 which seems about normal.  I am desperately trying to figure out how to get that weekly total DOWN.  So if you have any tips, please share them! LOL
