Sunday, January 13, 2008 - Chore and Menu List Progress
My last 2 entries have been about getting our chores and our meals a little better organized. We've been at it a week and I thought an update was in order.
First of all, the chores have definitely caused us to have a cleaner house. Of course, having company last night helped also. I've found that having company is a wonderful motivator for house work. I need to have another pow wow with the boys and let them know some areas that need improvement, but all in all, I'd consider it a successful week.
The menu list has been a little harder to get in to. I need to buy ahead so I'll the food (especially meat) on hand when it comes up in the list. The meals I had planned this week weren't necessarily on sale, so I didn't do them. Steak was on sale and I bought enough for 1 meal. I would normally cook it up right away, but I put it in the freezer so we could have it when it is scheduled. On the upside of the menu list. We didn't eat out at all and had food for the whole week with only additional trip to the grocery store.
W'er going try to have everything on week 2 this week. We had pizza for the company last night and stew instead of chili this week. I don't know if we'll have these again (to keep on schedule) or have the chili and spaghetti we had planned for last week.
What does your family like to eat on a regular basis?
Even if I don't do just what you do - it's always a great thing to know what other ladies are doing. Great encouragement to keep on track with the daily stuff, just knowing that someone else is going through it too! Thanks for all the details below!

Eighteen years after sitting my 5 year old down for his first day of school, we're still at it. We've graduated 2 and have one ready to graduate this year. Three more are working slow and steady at learning what they need to know to be the kind of adults God wants them to be.
