Jeff and I spent about 5 hours on Saturday trying to figure out menus for the next couple of weeks to try to only buy what we need at the grocery store, as well as make sure we always have something planned so we don't eat out. Well, it is only three days into the plan and we already have planned poorly. We are almost out of milk and all-purpose flour (though we have enough flour to last until the end of the week), and have more left-overs than anticipated.
I think the hardest thing to deal with is breakfasts, since Jeff is up at 6 a.m. and out of the door within the hour. This morning he awoke at 6:30 and Parker woke to nurse at the same time. When he came back into the room about 15 minutes later, Parker was restless and I was asleep, so he let us sleep and didn't get me up to make the muffin cake I was making for breakfast, so I made it when I woke up, about 15 minutes after he left at 7:15. He did have breakfast, but it was a PB&J sandwich, which is also what he had for lunch. Very poor planning on my part, so no more making in the morning what will be fine to make the night before.
