A Tour Through My Home

My Family and I live in a two bedroom single wide trailer in a park run by a sweet lady. One day I hope to be a smidgen of how awesome she is! Anyways, I am posting a virtual tour of our home. It's not much but it suites us for now. Once Kidlet is older we will have to move and that will be a sad day for all of us! This is what I try and keep relatively organized and clean. What could be so hard about keeping a tiny place like that clean and neat? Well you try packing three people (a 5 year old to boot!) and all their stuff into a single wide trailer and you tell me how to do it! LOL I'll gladly accept advice!

Menu Plan Monday

So this week is going to be a scattered mess! It's inevitable every year around the Holidays! Plans are made and changed within 24 hours! Seriously! So this menu is going to be rather tentative. My son is off from school the 25th-30th so those days I'll have to cook Lunch too. Yay! *sigh*

Monday-Greek Salmon and rice (my husband's favorite meal)
Tuesday-Chicken tenders (non breaded) and dipping sauces, with a side of spinach (have some left over and want to use it up)
Weds-Thanksgiving..not sure what is going on yet. Breakfast-Pancakes
Thursday-Breakfast-Sausage Buscuits, Lunch-Leftovers probably, Dinner-Leftovers/Potluck
Friday-Breakfast-Scrambled eggs, Lunch-Grilled Cheese, Dinner-Hamburgers and fries

Monday





Well today is going to be rather different. My son is sick and has a Doc's appointment for the afternoon. I'll try and get some "normal" things done while he's laid out on the couch but I probably will be too busy taking care of him. Here is my "normal" list for Mondays.


Monday-Kitchen Day
  • sweep and mop floor
  • wipe down all counters and fixtures
  • clean out fridge
  • write out grocery list
  • take out trash
Daily Tasks-What I do to keep my house running
  • pick up laundry and run a load
  • make bed and help kiddo make his bed (today I'll do it for him)
  • swish and swipe bathroom (flylady habit)
  • vacuum if needed (which would be a no today)
  • do a tidy walk thru (picking up paper, clothes, books, etc. and putting them away)
Special Things for Today-
  • Doctor's appointment-1:15pm
  • Grocery Store run
So that is my Monday. It's usually more relaxed because the little munchin is at school but today is going to be interesting! Wish me luck!

Friday





Well today was an interesting day. We had a parent teacher conference at Kid's school. The teacher told us basically that Kid acts very immature for his age..um..lady he's five! Seriously what is he supposed to act like? I'm a bit leery at this woman's ability to teach my child. I mean yeah he does need to work on following directions but how is a five year old immature? Aren't they all immature at that age?

Main Entry: im·ma·ture
Pronunciation: \ˌi-mə-ˈtr, -ˈtyr, -ˈchr\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin immaturus, from in- + maturus mature
Date: 1548
1 archaic : premature
2 a : lacking complete growth, differentiation, or development

Really now? Anyway, so we agreed that we would start to give him more responsibilities around the house. Help him "gain maturity" and all that jazz. I understand her point there. I do pick up after him and what not because it is more easy for me. So that will start to change. She does say that he is super smart. He's on track with his class in his academics. So I'm not worried there. So that meeting was kind of a waste. She told us what we already knew in some ways. He wasn't in pre-school. He wasn't in daycare. He was at home with me so yeah he will have some socialization issues but that's what Kindergarten is for right?

Well enough of all that serious business.


Sometimes all that is needed is a few LOLcats in your life.
