the week ahead

We're on the countdown to Spring Break!  whoo hooo!!!!   I think I'm as ready for it as my boys are!  So - I'm trying to get my lists taken care of so that I can take care of "business" before going out of town.  That way when we get back home from our trips, we won't be behind the 8-Ball.

So - here's what's on the menu for the next week:

Tonight - Sandwiches and Mac & Cheese (hubby out of town...)
Wednesday - Spaghetti (hubby out of town...)
Thursday - Oriental Chicken
Friday - Tuna and Quinoa
Saturday - Steaks
Sunday - Burgers & Hot Dogs
Monday - Ziti
Tuesday - Leftovers & Pizza
Wednesday-Saturday - vacation!!

**I'll add veggies and fruit to all the meals...depending on what looks good and what's on sale at the grocery.**

As for that To-Do list?  I've really enjoyed my "Fun Fridays" where I've kinda taken the day off from housework.  This week Wednesday will be a better day for taking off, so my Fun Friday will actually happen tomorrow.  Which should be good because there is a 100% chance of rain, which will be a perfect day for being lazy!

I love the idea of being so organized with your days! Putting in time to exercise is so key! I think I may have to start doing this.

I'm curious, do you take out enough cash for the entire month?

Sharon - It varies from month to month what we do (depending on how organized I am). I like best to get cash out for the entire month. I will keep some of it in the house and then carry in my purse what I need for the week.

I didn't get cash out this month until the middle of March and WOW...it made a huge difference. I WAY overspent in groceries this month b/c I wasn't using cash!
