Last night TJ was at a work event (AKA, a Laker’s game) and I told myself I’d go to bed early (normal bedtime is around 9:30ish… so early is 9…)… but after I got the girls down, my surge of energy kicked in and I found myself getting lost in mindless things. I finally picked up a book I’d stopped and started a couple times (“The Death of Mrs. Westaway”) and actually started to get into it… and then before I knew it, it was past my “early” bedtime, regular bedtime, and encroaching on late. It happens every single time….
Now we’re halfway through the week (well actually today is our Thursday since school is out on Friday) and I’m already looking towards the weekend….
All of that aside, I put together an easy weekly menu, based on meals we had last week, in case you’re looking for some quick, healthy, delicious, and family favorite meals to have during the busy week. Hope it helps!
