I am constantly trying to get my life more organized, and a couple months ago I started planning my meals ahead so that I wouldn't be scrambling around at 3 o'clock with no meat defrosted and no idea what I am going to cook for our supper meal. And I fell in love with it! I loved planning my meals out. I had a whole month written out and probably would have done more except I felt slightly nerdy.
But nerdy is ok if it works! But I have discovered a flaw in the whole meal-planning thing. If you don't keep it up, eventually you run out of meals. Which is where I am today. I haven't looked at my meal plan calendar this past week, and consequently I have nothing planned past yesterday. This is unfortunate. Now I have to sit down and figure out what I am going to do, and that is the worst part.
On the upside, it's advance pay-day so I will have some money for grocery shopping! Hurray! This means no more chicken soup with only celery and homemade noodles (which we had last Wednesday. It was tasty, just a little boring. Not even any saltine crackers to put in!).
So I can plan my meals without having to seriously consider what we have in the house since I can go shopping again. But I am also trying to be a little more frugal with my grocery shopping since we have a bad habit of just running to the store whenever we need something. I want to make more budget friendly meals. Or just budget friendly meal planning.
I think my next post I write will be about my lack of effective communication skills, as this post is an excellent example of.
