Menu Plan - Feb 11

With me not always feeling up to par these  last few weeks, it kicking right into the busy season at the office, R starting baseball, Menu Planning is a must!

Monday:
Crock Pot Beef Roast, Mashed Potatoes & Carrots

Tuesday:
Corn Dogs & Fries
(Ball Practice)

Wednesday:
Homemade Chicken Nuggets, Macaroni & Broccoli

Thursday:
Pizza
(Ball Practice)

 Friday:
Crock Pot Pork Loin

 We are still adjusting to having practice as this is the first year we've done it before. Although last week I cooked full prepared meals on those nights this week we are taking it easy and giving the kids things they love. Yes, I could have done Crock Pot on those nights but it's always a process to get the kids to eat those meals so why fight with it on ball nights?

What's on your menu tonight? 

Some Exciting News

I always find it funny how God makes his moves when you least expect it. Hubby and I have 2 boys - R who is 8 and J who is 3. We've talked and talked about if we want more kids and just have never been able to make up our mind. Should we wait till J starts Kindergarten, but then do we really want another gap that big? Without a gap that big there is two kids at daycare age which is just outrageous in price so Mommy wouldn't work anymore which means we have to give up the "extras". The end result was that it looked like we were leaning towards not having another even though we both itched for one.

Hello I'm God and you cannot make that choice without me involved.

God spoke and bam... baby #3 is on the way! I'll admit, I may have cried a little. Not out of sadness but merely because I plan everything and well, I hadn't planned for this just yet. Not having a plan threw me back for a second.

No plan still, that's in the works. All we know is Mommy will not be driving to the office daily anymore. Will I continue to work? Possibly...we are too busy at work to discuss the future just yet so it's on hold but I've been hinted they may make it where I can work from home. Would I like that? Yes... money with being able to be home. Would it kill me if it didn't happen? No, I didn't think it was going to happen.

So why post this when I n-e-v-e-r post anymore. I'm coming back....back to the blogging world. It may be here and there for the next 7 months but I plan to reopen my blogging life when I'm home. I loved my old blog while I was home with J that first year but just couldn't maintain it when I went to work. Yippie :)

Having Faith

Last night I had one of those nights. 

Where everything made me feel horrible and I was sad about it all. 

Going from kids, husband, house, appearance, my walk with God, etc. 

It felt like the devil himself was trying to sneak in and take over me.

I was just done until I pulled out my favorite verse:

I love this verse. 

I feel we all can relate to it and can turn to it in our times of need. 

When we trust in God we are cared for. 

The minute we doubt him or become afraid of him we start to sink. 

When those moments come along you have to just take his hand and walk with him. 

When God is in our heart he is there forever. 

He doesn't let go! 

When we feel like we are falling it's because we are doubting him. 

Jesus shouldn't have had to grab his hand because he should have had the faith. 

Once he lost the faith he began to fall. 

We do this often in our own lives...
