A Day in the Life - Part 2

Every Saturday, I post a weekly menu. The purpose is twofold:

1. To get my sh*t together.
2. To get the kids off my back.

Without the week's menu in plain sight, the kids are constantly asking me, "What's for dinner?" (They're the kind if kids who will ask what's for dinner Thursday night while they're eating breakfast Tuesday morning.)

Often, they'll share feedback in the form of erasing something on the list and replacing it with an option they find more appealing.

This past week, Sunday night's planned dinner was replaced by a trip to "McDonals." Spelling error aside, it made me chuckle. Also of note is the fact that the grocery list was modified to include ice cream, wip cream (sic), turtle shell (she meant Magic Shell) and cookies.

Without a word, I made some edits to the modified lists:

Oh, and if you're wondering about the quote of the week, it's my way to impart a little useful advice without necessarily beating them over the heads with it.

Thus far, it's been effective. Nobody's petted anything suspect - at least not recently.
