Weekly Meal Planning, Sort Of

First of all, it was so sweet of you guys to be concerned when I didn't post for a while last week. I wish I could tell you that the baby was here, but he's not. Early Tuesday morning I was felled by kidney stones, and I spent a couple of days in the hospital recovering. Nearly a week later, I'm still feeling pretty tender, and I'm spending every chance I get in the recliner. If you've ever had a kidney stone, you know how much they hurt; now add being pregnant to the equation, and just imagine the amount of pain. It was terrible.

Needless to say, I didn't make a single thing on my meal plan last week. Joe has been in charge of meals all week, which means we've had the following: frozen pizza, McDonald's, frozen taquitos, pizza rolls, and sandwiches. Tonight I believe delivery pizza is on the menu.

As you can probably guess, I'm ready for some home-cooked, non-processed food, so I'm carrying over last week's meal plan to this week. This will probably be the last meal planning I do for a while, though, since next week is Christmas, then the following week is New Year's, and the week after that we'll have a new baby. We're going to be so busy that I'm pretty sure cooking is going to be the last thing on my mind.

I'd planned a full day of Christmas baking today, but then this morning I sprained my ankle coming down the stairs (I'm really having a banner week!), so that's off. I had a lot of delicious things planned to share with you, but I don't think I'll realistically be able to get to all of them now. I guess I'll just have to make next December an entire month of Christmas here on the blog to make up for this year's lack of holiday cheer.
