Hi.  I am organized.  Nice to meet you.
Being organized is a huge part of who I am.

To quote Candace upon looking at my budget/to do/bills notebook 
(yes 3 ring binder here folks)
"I thought I was organized but this is Crazy."

She didn't mean it in a bad way.  She said she didn't anyways.  HAHA.  Yes. That's not the first time I've been called crazy or looked at like I'm a little bit off.  Call me what you want, I call myself Organized and 
I LIKE IT!

When I worked a normal desk job I absolutely hated leaving anything on the desk itself.  Everything had its place.  On Fridays I would clear every last piece of paper off so that I could enjoy the weekend knowing my desk was neat and tidy.  Mondays would begin that way.  Nice and organized.  For the record though, no amount of organization helps beat the Monday Blues but I like to believe it at least helped.

I admit my mind is full of klutter but my everyday life is pretty well organized.  Well, as organized as it can be with two young boys and a husband to look after.  That doesn't mean things don't get piled up around here but when it comes down to cleaning things up eventually.....everything has a home.

Menu
Yes, I have a weekly menu. I know what I'll be making today through Sunday and all the ingredients are in the house already.  Honestly, I already planned for the following weeks Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but planning to far out sometimes has a higher failure rate.  I normally stick to about a 7 day menu.  
No one wants to feel like a failure, am I right?

So, here's my weekly menu. 

Monday 1: Chicken, Cheese and Apple Quesadillas with Apple Butter AND Cheddar Cheese Soup (totally kid friendly and delicious)
Tuesday 2: Tender and Tangy Boneless Slow Cooker Ribs over white Rice
Wednesday 3: Tacos - YUM
Thursday 4: Slow Cooker Chicken Breasts (with Chicken Gravy)
Friday 5: Pizza (using a pizza kit purchased from Walmart - saves so much money!!)
Saturday 6: Pasta
Sunday7: Slow Cooker Whole Chicken

What a delicious week of meals to look forward to.  Let me know if any of the meals sound good enough to share.  I will happily.

Happy Weekly Menu Monday.  
May you have a week of stress free yummy meals to look forward to 
or just take my menu and call it your own!

ENJOY!
