So one of my 3 in 30 goals for the month is to do a weekly Menu Plan. :)
So here we go -
Monday - chicken adobo
Tuesday - steaks, french fries, corn and beans.
Wednesday- tater topped casserole
Thursday- salsa chicken, mexican rice, and beans.
Friday- turkey burgers
Saturday - eat out
Sunday- chicken tortilla soup
Monday - crockpot beef pot roast.
Decided to change up my days. My pasta night has to change to crock pot night since I'm usually busy on Mondays doing Girl Scouts stuff.
Mondays - crockpot night
Tuesdays- pasta night
Wednesday - chicken night
Thursday - one pot dinner night
Friday - steaks
Saturday - eat out
Sunday -grill out or soups
So far so good :)

My One Litte Word and January's 3 in 30
Last night I took some time to myself to check out my favorite blogs and websites. That's when I remembered I needed to choose my one little word. I took the class on BPC last year but....sadly I didn't participate fully. I am on the fence about taking it this year.
To recap - my word of 2009 (or was it 2010?? oops) was "Finish". I found the perfect picture with a finish line. My idea was to finish things that I had started or will start. Little did I realize that meant my marriage was finished.
My word of 2011 was tenacity - meaning I wouldn't let the bad stuff keep me down. That worked for me really well because I really did bounced back. It took me awhile but I fought off depression and sadness and focused on doing fun stuff with my kids.
This year, I've been trying a couple of words that "feels" right. Some words did jump out at me but one stuck out - "Prosper"
I really LOVE the definition. Now to get me a necklace this year....gotta make that happen.
I decided to take on my 3 in 30 goals this year in blog form. Here's what I decided
1- make a weekly menu and POST IT on my weekly board
2- spend 15 minutes of decluttering SOMETHING
3- write down my to-do lists. Keeping track of them in my head is driving me crazy.
I also plan in restarting my Finish it Fridays goals. I have to figure out what else is needed to be done. That's it for now :) Ending this post with the definition of Prosper.

informal LOAD for October
So I dropped the ball in September -the day after I was nausous and after my basement flooded. I had to get caught up on school somehow, and then next thing I knew it was a week later and there was no way I could get caught up. Maybe I can finish in October where I left off.
So I'm doing LOAD through my flickr site. I'm super excited. I haven't scrapbooked in like forever and ever. This time around I plan on catching up on my yearly albums. I did a to do list last night and here's the albums I plan on working on the next 2 months with the idea of doing one a day.
In the month of October I plan to be caught up in these albums.
Also in December I'm going to do a December Daily using this tag book I made awhile back with the ABC's of Christmas. With 26 tags,it'll only go from 1-26. Maybe since each tag is a different theme, I can either move them out of ABC order to go chronological, or I can just go by ABC order and pick a different theme to do each day. Either way I intend to have fun fun fun.
In 2012 I intend to kick off the year with my Finish it Fridays projects. Off the top of my head I can think of some projects that need to be done next year. Yes I'm already thinking of next year.
I was so excited about LOAD, and my goals that I needed to write them down - wish me luck!!!!

They didnt want to leave my youngest son behind so htey didnt go to the neighbor's house/
#18 - Help comes from unexpected places

LSN day 10 & Day 11
Day 10 - things go smoother when they're on track.
Did marathon cleaning via Flylady way with my kids. They were troopers. We discussed a lot of stuff all morning, going over new rules, new consequences, and rewards! But it didn't start until Monday. What made me decide on this lesson for the day is fixing my kids dresser drawers. Some drawers just fell off the track and was acting up. So I took the time, adjusting some things, and found out how much smoother things go when they are track.
I need to take this to heart because one of my 30 in 30 is to make to do lists. Being on track with my schedule makes me feel more productive and really things go more smoother.
Day 11- Just because something horrible happened today, doesn't mean we should stop celebrating the good stuff.
Today is September 11. Yes, a memory forever sealed in our hearts and minds as one of the worse days in American history. It's also both of my sisters' birthdays = well one of them was yesterday. Still - we need to remember today had good moments. Such as the brave men and women who helped, people who donated time and money, the babies born on that day. It's a good lesson to remember :)

LSN Day 9
Day 9 - Time needs to be managed, otherwise you find yourself wasting time.
I have a lot on my plate. With 4 college courses and being a full time mom, I've had way too much time on my hands pass me by. I've spent a lot of time on FB when I shouldn't. Sleep is very important and so I should be able to funcion at 8 if I just slept earlier I saw a blog post on how to manager your time, sort of like the envelope system with cash. I think I'm going to try this tomorrow. That and Flylady ways. Wish me luk!!!
