Monday Madness!

We woke to the sound of rain during the night and a chill in the air. I miss my morning walk when its raining -- but Mini, Little Cat and I just hung out in the mudroom to talk to the Lord.

My brother has moved into his own place -- so our house feels empty. But in a week or so it will be the norm. One thing I do plan on doing is getting back on the right eating plan -- he always brought home fattening foods! A lot of things well by the wayside after my brother's unexpected arrival, but I plan on getting back on track. Starting today!!


First here's my menu plan --

• Monday - Southwestern Chicken Soup from the Best Slow Cooker Cookbook Ever
• Tuesday - Hamburgers, Oven Baked Fries and Salad
• Wednesday- Toasted Ham and Cheese Sandwiches and Chicken Noodle Soup
• Thursday - Chicken Fajitas (On the Border kit from Sam's)
• Friday -- Homemade Pizza
• Saturday - Oriental Stir Fry (from Aldi), Fried Rice
• Sunday - Roast in Crockpot, Cheesy Ranch Potatoes , Broccoli

Baking: (I love colder weather to bake in!)

• Marbled Cheesecake Muffins courtesy of Cookie Madness (Changing slightly to make it light)
• Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
• Homemade Pita Pockets (to use in lunches)
• Chocolate Chip Cookies for the carriers at my hub's post office, since they asked when he was bringing more in!

Prayers:

• Josh isn't feeling well today, so please pray for him.
• My co-workers daughter, Kaitlyn was in a small bike accident in August, which lacerated her pancreas -- she is in the hospital once again because it is not draining, and she developed a staph infection. (MRS*A) Please pray for God to heal this young girl and open their hearts to the Lord.
• Pray for our family -- for wisdom in dealing with teenagers and hub's job situation.

Thanks -- you are appreciated more than you know!!
