This week has worn me out. This is Donny’s only full day off this week because of Labor Day. I really did not feel like doing a meal plan, but we needed to go grocery shopping and without having a list, that can get dangerous. So I made myself sit down and write out a list and plan out 11 meals.

Are they all completely healthy? No, but I know the kids will eat these meals and most of them are quick-ish. I grabbed my list and off we went to Aldi.

Because I am a control freak in Aldi, this was very hard for me. I have a certain way that I like to scan and bag the items. I’m proud to say I didn’t say a word and he did a good job. We spent right at $140 which I thought was pretty good for everything we bought. I feel like we save so much money eating at home. This also includes breakfasts and lunches. I also always have staples on hand.

When we got home I had to clean out the fridge. I should have done it before we left, but Hannah’s boyfriend had gone to campus to pick her up after her class. She had forgotten her phone and he couldn’t find her. After over an hour he finally found her in the library thanks to Jackson’s suggestion. I did get the fridge cleaned out though.

It was like playing Jenga.

Much better.

Tonight I decided to make pepperoni rolls.

Look at that pretty dough.My popcorn bowl is the perfect proofing bowl for this dough.

They turned out pretty good.

I made a big salad and ranch for dipping. I unfortunately can’t eat the dough so I had a pepperoni salad.

Then a huge thunderstorm blew through. I had to go outside and move some plants. It was pouring!!!

Tomorrow is my hair appointment and I cannot wait. I need my layers cut so badly.

Slinky came out early tonight. He looked like he swam across a lake, poor thing. He took a little nap under my car, ate and then went on his way. It’s too dark out tonight, but first thing tomorrow I’m going to check on all the plants and hope they didn’t get too damaged by the wind and rain.
