Looking forward to a productive day today cooking. I am going to do a pork roast and make a chocolate cake and maybe some muffins for lunch box treats. I love my Mondays and am really going to miss it when I do get back to 5 days work in another month. I think that is the big thing I miss, cooking. I have some handy quick meals but sometimes you get so slack after work and it is hard not to short cut and not make it as well as you would if you plan ahead and take your time. Need to really be organised.
My son has really been trying these past few weeks and his attendence at school has improved so much and he is trying so much harder to do the right thing. He has been picked for the school basketball team and he has lots of incentives. Everyone has been giving him positive feedback and so he has been trying. I am happy about that. I also think the loss of the x-box has been a blessing in disguise. He actually went and got a job at Maccas which he starts on Wednesday. He wants to get some cool clothes and stuff he says and he needs braces and the dentist needs $4800 which I could not afford to do but I have told him I will match him dollar for dollar in his saving so now he has something to work towards. Will force me to save too. Ha ha.
Anyway back to my cooking. Yippee! |
