Another week down...

Wow! Another week has flown by. It's hard to believe I'll be beginning my 5th week at my new job tomorrow, but it's true.

I found out last week that the only other job I'd been holding out for was in the process of being filled...and I didn't get a letter for an interview for it. It would have been awesome, too. It was a state job that paid DOUBLE what I make now. But, obviously, that's not where God wanted me. I believe I'm in the spot He prepared for me for this season. I don't know how long this season will last, but while I'm at this job I'll be doing the best I can.

Last week's meals kind of got all out of whack. The main reason???...my husband bought a new gas BBQ grill. While it's great that he does all the grilling, it messed up my meal plan because it's kinda difficult to prepare sloppy joes or kettle beef on a grill! =)

He grilled again yesterday, so we had leftovers today, and will probably have them tomorrow, too. I still planned for each day as though I were cooking, so that means some of this week's meals will get pushed back, too.

So, here's what's on the menu:
Mon: canned beef, mashed potatoes, salad
Tue: boston butt roast, stuffing, green beans
Wed: leftovers
Thu: sloppy joes, mac and cheese, green beans
Fri: leftovers
Sat: eating out
Sun: beef stroganoff, green beans, salad
Mon: leftovers
Tue: hot dogs, broccoli, french fries
Wed: marinated chicken breasts, baked potatoes, broccoli
Thu: grilled porksteaks, stuffing, salad, green beans
Fri: salisbury steaks, mashed potatoes, broccoli
Sat: breakfast (eggs, hashbrowns, sausage gravy, biscuits:
Sun: lunch - leftovers, supper - turkey pot pie

Having the grill also means that if I've had a hard or tiring day and don't want to be in the kitchen, then I can have Jim pick up some meat on his way home and throw it on the grill. I like this!
