I forgot again – I wonder how many oopses there will be before the end of the month. I’m working on the same rules, it’s still yesterday in parts of the world so it’s still okay.
Clark has had another clean freak Friday. I came home to a clean bathroom and mopped floors. It makes her feels better so it’s good in that way, and things are clean so that’s also another good thing, it just makes me feel a little uncomfortable that I’m not contributing to the cleaning right now. It all gets done while I’m at work.
McBean seems to be recovering nicely – he doesn’t seem to have suffered any ill effects from his bump on the head, and the infection seems to be abating somewhat. It is definitely less red and inflamed. After speaking to a friend who has looked after many little boys Clark says that it is not uncommon and is not due to hygiene issues, its just one of those things. Treat it, and move on.
We will be having the first of our Saturday night bbqs tonight (even though we will be going to a first birthday bbq for lunch). For most of this year we have had a Sunday roast lunch tradition, but now that we are approaching summer it is too damn hot to have the oven on to roast. So, Saturday night bbqs it is instead. Of course I think we have no gas in our gas bottle, so tonight’s bbq may be less of a bbq and more of a Geor.ge Fo.rem.an grill, but the intention is there. It’s actually nice to have a set meal once a week – it’s the easiest meal of the week to plan for.
That’s my goal for this weekend – meal planning so that when my pay comes in we will go to the market and the supermarket and know what we need exactly. I’m a bit of an ass about meal planner – I tend to shop and then look at what I’ve bought and try to come up with meals around that. But then you end up not having what you require and needing to go back to the supermarket 15 times to get everything.
Meal planning is a bit of a running joke in our house – well at least Clark thinks so. When I sit down to meal plan I tend to get distracted looking at cookbooks or sorting recipes I’ve collected or looking up recipes on the interwebs and end up with a whole lot of impractical ideas and no plan. What can I say, I love food porn. Clark follows parenting blogs, I follow food blogs. Predominantly the GF ones, but a few others as well. I think we’ve all benefited from some of the recipes I’ve tried.
