Saturday Photohunt -- Beautiful
The theme this week is Beautiful. Beautiful to me has many meanings. It is a daddy and his girls. It is the beauty of a sleeping baby, the beauty of a mother's love and the beauty of the love between sisters.

Friday Five
- Princess Belle goes back to school a week from today. She will be going full days for the first time. I went out today and got her lunch and recess supplies.
- I had a budget grocery day today. Those days kind of suck but I at least got most everything I need. I can't wait until I can afford to shop how I want too. I would love to go crazy buying all kinds of cute clothes for my girls. Wouldn't they be cute all dressed up alike.
- I have stuck to my diet really closely. I am proud of how hard I am working. I weighed myself last night and I am down 10 lbs in two weeks!! woohoo!!
- It is raining today. I heard it is supposed to be raining all weekend. Poor Princess Belle will be stuck inside all weekend. I am prepared for a long cabin-fever filled weekend.
- Princess Belle and Prince Charming are giggling behind me playing contests. Princess Belle keeps changing the rules and the games trying to find one she can beat Prince Charming at. It is really funny.

Tackle It Tuesday
My Tackle this week attempting to continue to conquer my ever-growing mount laundry. I have a growing mound of laundry that is washed, dried and folded and my goal for today is to put it all away before I do any more laundry. (and just think of all the exercise I will get dragging it all up the stairs. LOL) Here is a before picture. Update: I have now posted my after pic as well.
I also tackled finally making my 6 week follow up appointment with my doctor. I have been putting it off and I have it done. Yay! Yay! Another big one was that I finally got Princess Mag-pie her very own MCP so that provincial health care will cover her and I renewed all of the family's at the same time. (Actually Prince Charming did the leg-work for me.) I am glad to have that taken care of. It is such a worry to wonder what we will do if someone gets sick and our MCP has run out.

Monday Menu Plan
This is my menu plan I tried to keep it as simple as possible. I am still doing well on my diet and so far it is going pretty well with mostly making the same meal for everyone with a carb-o-licious side dish for the rest of my family. Here is my plan for this week.
- Monday: Chicken Parmesan
- Tuesday: Pork Chops and Roasted Vegetables
- Wednesday: Hamburger patties and sauteed vegetables.
- Thursday: Mayonnaise Baked Chicken
- Friday: BBQ Pork and Vegetables
- Saturday: Crustless Pizza
- Sunday: Chicken in Cream Cheese Sauce
1 Cup 0 Carb Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Garlic
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper or whatever seasonings you like
Mix all above together in a separate bowl. Spread over chicken and bake at 375 degrees until done.
Chicken in Cream Cheese Sauce
- Start with frozen chicken, this recipe is good with either breasts or thighs. Thaw until icy. Cooking them this way keeps them moist while cooking. Saute with a butter until golden brown.
- Then add, a bit of 1/2 and 1/2, usually use enough to create light coating, say around 1/8 cup, not alot. Then add the cream cheese.. according to preference. While stirring, continue to cook over medium until 1/2 and 1/2 combine with cheese to make a light sauce.
- I then put your favorite vegetable in a wide soup bowl and then place chicken on top or next to vegetable and pour sauce over the top. Eat with fork and spoon!!!

Sleepy Sunday
I have to get up and start supper soon, and I should be launching further attacks on Mount Laundry but truth be told, I just don't have it in me.

Tackle It Tuesday
My Tackle this week attempting to conquer my ever-growing mount laundry. It is the one area I haven't been able to get under control since being in the hospital for 3 weeks. I will get is under control a little at a time but it would be easier if I could just convince everyone is my house to stop making more.

- Monday: Pork Chops and Roasted Vegetables
- Tuesday: Smothered Chicken
- Wednesday: White Castle Hamburger Pie
- Thursday: Pork Chops
- Friday: Mexicalli Ground Beef and Cabbage Pie
- Saturday: Korean Chicken
- Sunday: Crustless Pizza

Sleepy Sunday
Today is a sleepy day for me. Princess Mag-pie wasn't too bad last night but Princess Belle had a ROUGH night. She peed her bed not once but TWICE!!!! Who does that at SIX YEARS OLD???? She woke up with pains in her legs. She just kept waking up crying for attention. I am a zombie mommy today and she is just fine. My head is just pounding.
But given the fact that I started my diet yesterday, I don't feel bad. I feel really full all the time and I am so glad to be getting this weight back under control. I know I will get back down to my best weight again. I can do this.
Princess Mag-pie appears to have a snuffly nose. I have had a miserable cold for a few days and she spends a lot of time in my arms, so I am not surprised that she has some symptoms. I hope that she doesn't get it like I did.

Saturday Photohunt -- Colorful
The theme this week is Colorful. I had to think about this one and then while looking at some pics I have taken lately, I came across this one. It isn't my favorite but it certainly is colorful!

Friday Five
- I still have cold and I am praying that I don't pass it along to Princess Mag-pie. Your shouldn't have to deal with a cold at 3 1/2 weeks old.
- Yesterday was our anniversary. We actually forgot for most of the day and I feel bad about that. I am going to be getting groceries today and I will pick up a little belated something for Prince Charming. He is the love of my life and he deserves to know how important he is to me.
- I had a little photoshoot with Princess Mag-pie yesterday. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pics. Some of my favorite pics of her EVER are in there. I will definitely be printing one or two of those off.
- I am getting groceries today and I am shopping to suit my new diet. I am looking forward to feeling like I have my diet under control.
- I might sneak a little money to buy a new set of scales. I don't have any scales right now, Princess Belle broke my older ones.
