Getting caught up

I'm trying to get caught up from the holidays and everything that's been going on for the past 6 to 8 weeks... things are going well around here, just need to get some things back to their normal order. So, am working on that this week.

Do you all have months like this? Where you have to get things back to 'normal'? I spent way too much over Christmas, especially with a new person in the house. Then, it got SO cold that the heat bill was enormous. We've also been eating out too much, lately, so I'm going to have to reign that in.

Speaking of that, last night we got to spend my friend's daughter's (MK2) birthday with them. I was glad to be able to get all our dinner and I hope she did not feel bad about that in any way. That was a special occasion, and I wanted to do it. :)

But, now back to reality. LOL. I'm going to write up a menu plan for the rest of this month and into February. Get a real idea of what the food costs are going to be. I know what they are/were with just Lil M and I, but I've sort of been swinging blind these past few weeks. Now, though, I've got a better idea of what T likes and doesn't like to eat. That helps.

We have a birthday party to go to tomorrow, and had thought we might have a play-date on Sunday, but I need to double-check that one. Other than that, going to get laundry done and the normal household chores this weekend. Also, going to encourage T to look at her ACT stuff this weekend. Lil M's room needs a bit of an overhaul, so I'm going to have her help me with that a little, too. :) Only one wet night so far this week for her. Last weekend was bad, but I am certainly seeing improvement. :)

Peace.
