The menu plan is a little messed up this week a few days will be whatever we can throw together. Tally and Devlin were both up and down all Friday night and Saturday morning Tally wouldn't stop crying that her ear hurt again. After an urgent care visit (diagnosed double ear infection) it was apparent that we weren't going to get to the state fair like planned, so no turkey leg and fair food for dinner. She is on antibiotics and feeling a little better, no fever so she's at school today.
- Roasted Chicken (Samsclub) and Red Potato Salad
- Brown Bag Burritos ( dinner plus more for Matts lunch this week)
- Stuffed Pizza Rolls
- Chicken pasta (Just ww pasta, Tomato Basil sauce, chicken breast, with some spinach and mushrooms thrown in)
- Baked Tomato Basil Fish (recipe later this week) no clue what sides possibly salad or spinach along with brown rice or ww couscous
- The rest is whatever...breakfast, sandwiches. whatever we can throw together out of the cabinets/fridge/freezer

New goodies at Peppermint Creative! Few pages with the new Hocus Pocus halloween kit and the new freebie kit Momitude
I have a little bit of me time while Tally is at school and Devlin is napping. I'm slowly getting things organized around here and getting things to run a little smoother. Who knows when I'll actually get the whole house decluttered and organized but at least I'm working on it! I've also been taking my exercise seriously this week and I'm determined to make it a habit this month!!
Tally is loving school. They take afternoon naps before they come home and she's always been cranky when woke up from naps at home, apparently things have not changed just because she's in school. The teacher says she's fine all day until they wake her from her nap, we've picked her up teary eyed several days last week and once so far this week. I'm not to concerned about it since she's fine up until after the nap. The teacher will start sending behavior charts home on Friday and I'm hoping we never have any issues with this.
I have a few book sitting in front of me, none of which I've started reading. I wanted to show the books but vox books area doesn't seem to be working today so I'll just name them.
"The Pretend Wife" by Bridget Asher
"Breakfast at Stephanies" Sue Margolis
"Women of the edge of a Nervous Breakthrough" by Isabel Sharpe
"Death by Chick Lit" by Lynn Harris
Now for a little bit of scrappy goodness that is way over due to be posted.
First goodies from Gina Cabrera at Digital Design Essentials. Let 'Em Eat Cake Mega Kit on the first one and Wheels On The Bus Mega Kit for the second page!
And now a few Peppermint Creative goodies. Daditude Kit (which is free right now) and the Funky Free-The Whole Shebang
I scrapped! Digital and traditional but I haven't totally finished those yet so I'll be back later this weekend with the paper ones.
Here is my digital... Sketch is from the Got Sketch? blog and products are from PeppermintCreative
Little post of how the week went.
Devlin had his evaluation for Sooner Start yesterday because of his not saying much. They test for Adaptive, Personal-Social, Communication, Motor and Cognitive. He has to be 50% behind in one area or 25% in 2 areas for them to help. He passed all but Communication which they put at 12m level, not surprising since he only says Mama, Dada, Night Night and Dog at 19 months. This program is free and they come to our house to work with him. The Speech Pathologist that gets assigned to us next week will go over how often we want his/her help (how often we want them to come by) and what we want Devlin to learn. For as long as we would like their help or until he is 3 yrs old. He has his hearing screening on Wed the 22nd to determine if he has any fluid in his ears that is causing him to not hear certain sounds. Will keep you posted on how it goes.
Few pictures from yesterday just for some cuteness...
I finally started on Scarpetta which is 500 pg book and taking me a few days when I can fit it in, most likely will finish it tonight.
Then I have these on my nightstand.
I think that's all for today. I've been menu planning, just forget to post it on here at the beginning of the week. I'm going to work on keeping that up!
and I missed Menu Plan Monday again. I am such a scatterbrain lately!
We are having Devlin speech evaluated and our coordinator just left after setting up his evaluation for next week, we're also having his hearing checked even though I think he is fine in that area. I really think he's ok with his speech also but it's better to have it checked now if something is wrong.
So onto my menu for this week...
- Roasted Chicken from the store (grocery night)
- Parents house (Mom made beef stew)
- Turkey Sausage on homemade whole wheat buns (turned out decent)
- Breakfast (whole wheat pancakes, turkey bacon and scrambled eggs)
- Tomato Basil Fish (Saving Dinner cookbook) and Roasted Asparagus
- Shredded Pork Tacos
and more books...
I'm reading Grave Secrets now and I still have The Fortune Tellers Daughter and Scarpetta left from last weeks library trip. I also picked up Books 3-6 in the Chronicles of Narnia.
in scrapbooking...
I finally finished something! It's a new month which means a new Pimp My Page Challenge at PeppermintCreative.com by me that should be posted sometime in the next few days. Miss Mint is having issues with her computer so I'm sure she'll put it up as soon as she is able to. Here is the layout that inspired the template, it's simple but that's all I have to give right now. ;) I'm hoping that this will jump start my creativity for more pages than I've done the past few months.
it's a miracle with the day I had though. Both kids were whining and the dogs weren't any better with barking/growling. The day after I finally start to feel better they go crazy.
So onto my page, everything is Peppermint Creative.
Sitting here eating my breakfast while I wait for my mom to come by and pick us up for our weekly shopping day. Figured I'd post about what I'm reading right now and a scrapbook page I did about my diabetes. I'm doing at least one layout each month about me, I actually did this layout at the end of January, just took me a while to post it. lol
I just finished
I finally started Black Out, about a 3rd of the way into it.
I have 2 books ready to pick up at the library today and 1 in transit that I'll have Matt get on his way home this week sometime.
Read the first one of this series in the past few months.
The 3rd from the Bones series.
I made the PMP template this month at Peppermint Creative so get over there and download it and let me see how YOU use it!
