As I sat this morning in my quiet home sipping my coffee, everyone still snoring away, I found myself envisioning the upcoming 2014-2015 school year. Though I am excited to get back to a regular routine, the girls back to school and me back to school, my anxiety level hit the roof! Our normal routine as we know it, will change up a wee bit. Instead of taking all my classes during the day, I will add an evening class to the chaos of my life. Of course not by choice, but by necessity. It's unfortunate, but Temple College does not offer the class I need during the day at a convenient time for me. Sooooo, I am forced to add a kink in an already full schedule. Oh well, what do you do?? Carry on I say, carry on!!! What I did though, sitting there wheels grinding away, was Menu Plan! You say, Menu Plan? Yes, Menu Plan - for the month! Hahahaha!! We still need to eat, right?? Most people would eliminate something from their already full schedule - not me - that's not really an option this semester! Call me a glutton for punishment, crazy or just a dumb ass, but that's just what I did, I worked on a Menu Plan for the month of August.
Two things that make me crazier then anything, well there are more things that make me crazy, but none the less #1 is "not knowing what to make for dinner," and of course #2 "grocery shopping". So what I have learned is by having a Menu Plan, it's makes my life HELLA HELLA easy! By menu planning, I don't have to figure out on the fly what we're eating for dinner, and I don't wander around the grocery store aimlessly looking for something to make for dinner! Also, it helps me set myself up for success - my friend Gina always says that "Set yourself up for success" and she is also the one I got the Menu Planning for the Month idea from - she will be so PROUD! Hahahahaha!!!! I planned our monthly menu with the idea that I can keep these in a binder and reference them for future Menu Planning - I'm quite EXCITED! This brings my anxiety level down quite a bit! Now, to handle other parts of my anxiety... De-cluttering, and Organization! I'll keep you posted on my progress!
