We got our dinner on the table and the power went out on Monday night and we went with chicken salads instead of wraps because we were having tacos this week.  Super glad that we got our meal made but I still hadn't finished re-packing the freezer so there was a fast shoving that happened where I got to fit a lot of the food into the freezer even though there wasn't piles of ice on it like last power outage.  We got power back that night right as we crawled into bed so we got up and turned off lights and other things that were on.  I was very excited for our pork chops after I found them in the store for $0.99 for the package.  I made our last pouch of herb rice and our last corn on the cob which we really enjoyed.  Then, the power went out!!!  AGAIN!  Glad to have dinner done even though I was still cleaning up and putting things away but another night without power.  We were supposed to have tacos on Wednesday but I shoved the frozen ground beef back into the freezer so we decided to mix up the week a little and have the homemade pizzas that my son made.  On Thursday we did spaghetti with garlic salt for my son, sauce and meatballs for my husband and garlic bread for all.  Friday was leftover family fun night where we watched Because of Winn Dixie which was good but not as good as the book.  We enjoyed dinner off a TV trays by watching the movie.  Saturday brought a busy morning and we bought a pizza hut pizza for lunch after my son's race and a STEM event which ran really long.  We were all so full that we had leftovers for dinner and I made my son some waffles too.  Sunday was leftover pizza for lunch and quick dinner before work so I made Fried Rice with peas and steak egg rolls.  Super tasty and super easy to throw together while my son worked on homework.

I am hoping for an easy week this week but I guess we will see how it turns out.  I am not sure what this weekend brings since the pool is going to be opening up on Saturday.  I know that we will be there this weekend but I am not sure how long we will stay there.  I think that I have most of the groceries in the house that we need for the week so I am hoping that we won't need too much for the rest of the month.  I think that we will use up the rest of the ground beef with the meals planned for the month so I will have to look into getting some if there is money left in the budget for the month.  How is your month going??
