Cabinets are in, but the job isn’t finished yet due to problems with materials. Also some cabinet doors didn’t come in or were the wrong size.
I should be able to move my stuff back this week, but it might be two more weeks before they can finish the job properly.
Since we’ll be in the midst of moving back in I plan to keep meals simple this week. At least I have my stove back. It’s been a hassle cooking with only a toaster oven.
Despite the inconvenience, I got a lot done outside. I wish the kitchen job could’ve been finished in one go, but it wasn’t meant to be. At least they’re adamant about getting the job done correctly. I love conscientious workers.

So… Do you always stick to your menu plans? I used to make menu plans when the kids were…well, kids, but I didn’t always follow them. I know, SLACKER! 🙂
Stacy: I stick to the plan most of the time, but we’re flexible too. If we work too late or get stuck in town around dinner time, we’ll eat out or just pull out something that is heat and serve.
The important thing for me and the biggest benefit of the menu plan is that there are no more arguments. I’ve already inventoried my fridge and freezer and that’s what I plan to make unless something unforeseen happens.
We used to argue all the time about what to eat. Now that I make the decision ahead of time, there are no more debates. That alone is worth the hassle of making a menu.
Awww… fights. Guess I’m lucky in my husband doesn’t care WHAT he eats (as long as it’s something he likes). He just doesn’t want me to cook if I don’t want to cook. 🙂
Stacy: Strangely enough, he’ll eat whatever I put in front of him. It’s when I give him a choice is when we start to argue. LOL!
