Today is my dad’s birthday. If I were making this week’s menu in his honor, we’d be having ribs on Monday, ribs on Tuesday, scallops on Wednesday, ribs on Thursday and scallops and ribs on Friday. I couldn’t make the menu plan in his honor, though, because I can’t afford to eat ribs and scallops every day.
Pete tried to get me to save a piece of cake for his Papa until Christmas, but I think I’ll just eat it on his behalf instead.
Sorry, Dad, and happy birthday! We all love you tremendously.
I didn’t leave the house at all yesterday (nor did I take any pictures), so I don’t have all that much to report.
I got up and got ready for church in the morning, then decided to just keep my cold at home. Rockford took the kids to church, and I did a little laundry, watched several “Good Eats” re-runs and napped until they came home.
After church Poppy spent a good part of the afternoon out with Rockford’s mom, and Pete took a super long nap — I’m hoping that isn’t a sign that he’s going to be coming down with my cold — while Rockford worked on a presentation he has to do tomorrow. Meanwhile, I napped some more, watched “Thor” and started dinner.
The kids had been invited to some friends’ house to decorate Halloween cookies, so Rockford took them over there after dinner. If I were to wager a guess, I’d say he watched football while the kids decorated cookies. Surprisingly, I did not take a nap while they were gone.
Rockford has a lot of dinners out this week, and our menu plan for the week reflects that. In that it’s mostly kid-friendly standby meals.
