Meal Planning

At least the good news is that the week is half over. But I'm about to start one of my most loathed chores... Meal planning.

I use this miniature little whiteboard to plan.  I write out my ideas, and they're mostly met with general malaise and apathy. Unless there's mac and cheese, then somebody in the house gets super excited.

I also use this whiteboard to track what we still have in the freezer.

While ambitious and symbolic of a true domestic goddess, you can imagine that this doesn't always work out. Especially on those days where I just don't care.

Last week there was a day that I just didn't care. It's frustrating because I really don't have anything else to do so I should care and be all excited about cooking things, but... Nah.

So here we go!  Tentative meal plan for the week!

I know: I'm amazing. 

Side note:  I was about to push publish to this post as I was taking a dogs outside for a phone call to Nature, and Daisy just went and ate a giant dragonfly. I might be disgusted and happy for her at the same time. At least she's getting a protein.

Bullies

When you are in the moment, it is hard to imagine anything more heart wrenching than holding your child when she cries about being bullied.  What is more heart wrenching?  Knowing it is your fault. I've gone through life with my fair share of bullies.  Sometimes it was because I was flat out weird.  But most of the time it was my size.   Even when I wasn't even heavy, I considered myself fat and some of my peers agreed.  They agreed so vehemently that they decided to remind me of my size, especially during gym class.  Later in life, in my 30's, I was actually mooed at.  Seriously.  And it sucked being made fun of because of my looks. However.  One of the glorious parts of being 41 is that you just don't give a shart about what people think of you anymore.  Yes, I'm fat.  I have blue eyes, brown (going silver!) hair, and I am medically defined as being morbidly obese.  I try to remedy that diagnosis because...

Shattering the Myth of SAHM

Are you looking for advice on being the perfect mom? Are you interested in reading fail-proof ways to keep a tidy home? Do you need delicious, wholly organic foods to your adoring children? Then look elsewhere. This is me.   Standing in the rain, feeding our 3 month old puppy, unshowered, and right before that cat in the patio door escapes to the wild and I have to coax him back in with snacks.  This is also right before I spent no less than 20 minutes encouraging our puppy to poop. This here is a blog where you go when you need a reality check. This is a blog where Pinterest goes to fail. This is a blog that helps me laugh at myself and, in turn, helps you laugh at me too. I'm a temporary housewife, and I want to show you how not perfect most of us are. Case in point: Daily Commute Video #1, where I just wanted to catch random conversations with my 6 year old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8TRSf0XiDc&feature=youtu.be Up ...

No Longer Temporary

Chateau del Mulsoff (CDM) is pleased to announce a vacancy in our ranks.  As of June 11, The Mrs. will no longer be a temporary housewife.  Finally, after over a year of searching for full time, permanent work, we're happy to announce she has accepted a job with a local company to help out with their environmental compliance. We at CDM are excited for the opportunity to get Lori the heck out of the basement, where she's perpetually cold, rarely exchanges her pajamas for normal clothing, and wears glasses with only one lens.  You may have some burning questions, so CDM put together a F.A.Q. to meet your burning needs, so stop with all the burning.  There is a cream for that. 1. Where is she going? We will not be relocating, but she will have a 30 minute commute. 2. What exactly will she be doing? The details will become more clear, but as of right now we understand she will be the holder of the key of power for the universe, and has been going through a se...
