Haven't done one of these for ages, but I have been menu planning!Monday - pasta puttenesca, salad (DH cooking)
Tuesday - Mexibake from Planning Queen
Wednesday - Lamb chops with veges
Thursday - lamb shanks tagine, cous cous, salad (gotta remember how to turn on the delayed start on my oven!)
Friday - Chilli con carne
Saturday - chicken tagine with lemon and olives
Sunday - not sure yet, maybe pizza
Today I'm working my first late night so I start at 12noon and finish at 8pm. It's nice to have the morning free to do the kindy run and some other odd jobs. Not sure how I'll feel at the end of the evening yet! My colleagues have kindly arranged for me to use the car parking under the building so I don't have to walk in the dark to the other public carpark. Tomorrow I'll be catching the bus to work. I've been hoping to do this for a while because it's cheaper, and I'm wanting to reduce my car usage. If I get the permanent position I'm hoping to resurrect the bike for the summer, but I need to find out where the shower is at work!
Speaking of permanent positions.... I have the interview for this tomorrow at 1.45pm. I hope they don't ask me curly questions! Despite the business of my life now, I am keen to get the job. I like working so close to home, I like the actual job too. The children seem to have adjusted to the new routines and DH has picked up his game in terms of childcare and household responsibilities. I struggle to find time for myself to create but it's getting better as I get used to what needs to be done vs what would be nice. Scheduling things seems to work, as well as asking DH for help to get some jobs done. I do miss being at home, I can't deny that. But I knew it wasn't for ever.
I started this LO last week and finally finished it yesterday.
Right, better hang out the washing. I live in hope it will get dry!
Good luck with the job!!
ReplyDeleteAll the best for your job interview, Penny!

ReplyDeleteYou always have such yummo menus too. Puttenesca is our absolute favourite pasta dish in this family.
