My last day of work was July 15th.
YIKES.
I had put in 1 and 1/2 months notice at my Pharmacist GIG
because we are relocating to Memphis. My husband dropped in an application for a position and got offered a job there (he will still be working for the good ole government.) We've wanted to move South for a while but never had the guts to do it. So we said "hell yeah, let's do this!" or something along those lines.
It's taking longer than we thought....
I thought we'd be moving this week.
Still going to happen but make take 1- 1 1/2 monthes longer than anticipated.
Anyway that is why I haven't been posting for a while.
The stress was kicking my butt!
Now I've fully embraced this house wife thing (until we move and I'm forced to join the Pharmacy work force again.)
Anyway I'm trying to be a better stay at home mom (I type this as I have my 3 year old positioned in front of the TV.... )
It is like 100 degrees outside after all.

I have never been organized enough to make my family a good dinner more than two days in a row.
We are the most eating out people I know!!
Well that is all going to change!!
oh and I'm infatuated with the grill now too.
I want to grill everything! It's like I'm a man or something.
I have also noticed other bloggers and friends set up a weekly Dinner menu and I think I'm going to try that too.
Also since I'm unemployed it would probably be a good idea to eat out less so this menu plan might help reduce the urge to go out...
Plan for today and tomorrow:
TODAY: Chicken (cooked in the crock pot all day) shredded and in soft tacos with Black Beans and Avocado, Salsa and Cilantro.
TOMORROW: Turkey Burgers and Strawberry Orange Pasta Salad
My Meal Plan for this up coming week:
MONDAY: Grilled Hot dogs, Salad, Macaroni & Cheese
TUESDAY: Taco Squares, Corn on the Cob, Salad
WEDNESDAY: Grilled Pizza
THURSDAY: Marinated Steak Kabobs and Grilled Squash
FRIDAY: Grilled Veggie Burgers, Baked French Fries, Grilled Peaches
Is that fancy or what?
Remember I'm trying to keep the three year old happy too...
Thursday will require a separate 3 year old menu...
Notice all the grilling?
On a Completely Random Note:
Blueberries rock.
Okay well that whole post was rather random really...

OK--that menu looks fabulous! One big stress reliever for me in the meal planning department was Taco tuesdays! I liked having at least one day I didn't have to think about (and I was with it enough to make sure to have those ingredients in in my cupboard or in the shopping cart). I like to save the pizza ordering option until it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY because then I don't feel bad when I phone it in!
Welcome to Memphis! So glad you stopped by my blog. Had to come return the favor. Learned you're new to the city! I hope the south is treating you well. You're probably liking our weather about now since it is still in the 60s here:)
