Weekly Menu 9/10-9/14

My dinner menu for the week is not a full 7 days this week. That’s because we’re leaving on Saturday to go on vacation to Sunriver (my favorite place on earth) and we’ll be gone till the following weekend. I’m so excited!!! This is the trip we as a family look forward to all year long, so I guess this counts as a baby moon? We’re not leaving our kids behind, obviously. So it’s not like a super romantic getaway, but it is a fun family vacation that is always filled with such wonderful memories, and to be honest, I don’t think I could leave me kids behind. I love having them with my, lol!


But wouldn’t you know…I’m sick! Friday night, I came down with a few symptoms that appeared cold/flu like…but after a wonderful nights sleep, I woke up feeling great! All day Saturday I felt great, we went grocery shopping and while Josh grilled a fantastic steak, I made a yummy salad. After dinner, I laid down on the couch, suddenly really tired. While Josh did all the dishes and the kids got ready for bed, I snoozed for a long time and when Josh woke me up, I felt awful, and as the night went on, the worse I felt. My head ached all the way down to my toes. My head throbbed, and my throat felt swollen and sore and was unable to sleep due my bladder, a little man who refused to let me sleep on my right side, and the mere fact that I just felt awful.

Sunday morning I stayed home from church and slept. Josh brought me my broccoli cheese soup from Quizno’s and I just laid in bed all day drinking glasses of water and tea and trying to let my body tell me what it needed.

My pre-natal appointment is this morning and I’m hoping my dr. will maybe just prescribe me something as a precaution in case I don’t get better as the week continues so it doesn’t effect our vacation coming up. We’ll see how it goes, I shall update you all tomorrow! :)

The menu for the week looks like this:

Monday
My mom’s Chicken Noodle Soup with rolls. 
Since I’m sick, it sounds like the perfect thing to eat!
Tuesday
Herb-rubbed sirloin roast with rice and veggies.
Wednesday
I’m using the leftover green beans and pork from last week and combining with chicken and veggies for stir fry this week with rice.
Thursday
Garlic Spaghetti with salad 
Friday
Crockpot sloppy joes
I don’t think I’m going to make cookies or anything else on the side, since we’ll be leaving for vacation. But do I have plans for lot’s of delicious fall treats when I get back, so stay tuned!
