After making the switch from having a housekeeper once every other week, I asked her to lower her price and clean for me once a week. I actually felt a bit proud of myself for taking the opportunity to ask her to work with me. I was having a playdate with some friends in the neighborhood and my friend informed me that she had a lady cleaning her WHOLE house for $75 every week!!! Whoa mama! That's almost half what I'm paying for my first floor!!! However, I really like the girl that cleans my house, and she's been cleaning for me for over 4 years... so I really didn't want to change from her. But, I'm having a hard time keeping up with everything now that I have sweet #3 in my life. I really just needed some extra help, so I thought moving from every two weeks to once a week would be very helpful. I asked her if she could work with me, and she agreed... so she's going to keep everything looking spiffy and I'm paying less... win/win if you ask me!!!
Anyway, with that being said, I'm really going to try to do my best to put dinner on the table every night (except Wednesdays) and I hope that it's usually a little bit healthy.
So, here's the menu for the week:
Monday: Chicken and dumplings with green beans (the girls won't eat dumplings, so I'll fix them something else)
Tuesday: Ok... I'm breaking my rule already, but I have to register the girls for mdo next year and won't be home... so I'm going to leave the family with sandwiches for dinner... but still dinner at home ... no eating out.
Wednesday: we go out before church... not sure what is on the menu this week
Thursday: chili (between ballet and bunco)
Friday: soup and salad (chicken corn chowder)
Saturday: I think we may go on a date (I know, eating out again) but we aren't sure yet
What I'm reading:
I got a kindle for Christmas, seriously, one of my favorite gifts EVER!!! So, I'm reading The Help by Katherine Stockett.... love it so far!
That's about all I have for today, but first I have to tell you about a ginormous hispanic cross dresser I encountered at the mall Saturday night. We had gone to celebrate girlie #1's outstanding job with her first week of responsibilities and have a small chic fil a ice cream cone, and here comes a (no joke) 6'3" man in a teeny tiny dress with 4" heels on and bleached blonde hair... complete with enough makeup to embarrass a hooker!
It was hysterical!!! Then he looked surprised that everyone was staring at him!!! Seriously, if you leave the house looking like that, expect people to stare! End of discussion. I wish I had a picture to show, but he looked really mean!
