Have you been participating in 5 Minutes for Mom’s Ultimate Blog Party? I have and I have been having a blast doing it. My husband even took the children out of the house for a couple of hours yesterday so I could party hop in peace.  He is the best!  If you are participating in the UBP, feel free to leave a link to your party post in my comments. My comments are set to follow so you get linky love when you comment.

Last week, many of my plans fell victim to a stomach virus that plagued my house from Monday afternoon until Sunday.  Hopefully, everyone is well now.  This week I will be getting caught up and planning out the next few months of the year.  I will be getting ready for the Holiday Grand Plan, which starts August 31, finalizing the county campaign plans for McCain and Sen. Saxby Chambliss in my county as I am the County Campaign Chairman for both campaigns, mapping out my blog posts for the next month, and a firming up a plans for a few other projects Mr. Right and I have going on. 

Since I will be busy planning so many activities, I have decided to take it easy with my cooking.  My menu this week consists of foods that take little time to prepare but are very filling and satisfying when cooked. 

Monday:  7 Layer Casserole

Tuesday:  Chicken Pot Pie 

Wednesday:  Turkey Spaghetti and Salad

Thursday:  Breakfast for Dinner: Grits and Eggs

Friday: Homemade Pizza

Saturday:  Leftover Buffet

Sunday:  Easy, Tasty Roast Beef, Carrots, and Potatoes

Better late than never, right?  As I post this, Monday is almost over.  At least I have a plan for food the rest of the week.  While GigglyGirl was doing her ballet this afternoon, BusyBoy became ill in the car.  He has had a cold and it seems his coughing made him sick to his stomach.  Ugh!  Cleaning him, his soiled clothes, and his car seat kind of put a crimp in our evening plans.  He was feeling much better before bed and wanted to stall bedtime by doing his homework, which is not due until Friday. 

My dad is having MAJOR foot surgery tomorrow (Tuesday morning).  They are moving the tendon from his big toe to his heel.  I had ankle surgery several years ago and it the pain from it was 100 times worse than the c-section from the twins.  His surgery is much more involved than mine was so I know he is going to be in a great deal of pain.  Please keep him, his surgery, and his recovery in your prayers. 

Alas, here is this week’s menu plan!

Monday:  BusyBoy was feeling a bit under the weather this afternoon so he and GigglyGirl just had pasta.  Mr. Right and I had takeout.

Tuesday:  Taco Salad made with Turkey Chili (This has been on the menu twice recently and I have not made it.  This time I am bound and determined to make it and have enough leftover to freeze!)

Wednesday:  Cubed Steak, Mr. Right’s Signature Potato Casserole, and broccoli

Thursday:  Chicken and Squash Bake (I just saw this recipe today.  Man does it look good or what!  I hope it is half as delicious and it looks!!)

Friday:  Breakfast for Dinner – French Toast

Saturday:  Leftover Buffet
