Busy already this morning

So since I start a new job on Monday and have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn...I've been practicing this week getting up, getting everyone going, and trying to be on time. I think we are going to be able to accomplishi it with Bodie's help and getting up just a little earlier - Eeek!

It has been kind of nice to get up and get going before the rest of the world and feel like I've already done so much - versus sleeping my day away. However I think I will look forward to sleeping in on Sat.!

I've been meaning to take my grocery bags that I have with me on my, what seems like 600, grocery trips this week and have continued to forget them. However this morning I remembered to pull them out of the corner of the garage...ready to go! Then realized at Wal-mart that I forgot them again....grrrhh! But I'm going to run back to Kroger at lunch b/c they were marking down their meat this morning and we are going grill out tomorrow night for Bodie's parents...so if I could get it a little cheaper I would be so excited!

I am going to definately do a better job of menu planning for this coming week b/c I feel like I've spent so much money this week. Here comes the Envelope System! Any favorite receipes would be greatly appreciated - especially for garden green beans, yellow squash, zucchini, potatoes, and tomatoes. I think I'm going to try and steal, I mean borrow!, Mom's dehydrator and try to dehydrate some potatoes....We like the Au Gratin potatoes and my little freezing and drying book says that they do ok...I'll let you know.
