The end of the week!
Had a good week, no yelling was done around the house.. gorilla was sleeping...until the weekend.
It seems that the kids were tired maybe from the week so worn out by the weekend at not happy to listen at all.
Other then that we had a good week.
Took the boys sledding on tuesday, went for a walk/park on thursday. Then we had swimming lessons on sat and a x-country ski on sunday. We were able to finish a whole loop at the troll falls area, not the same trail as last time but this one had better tracks cut in. Better ; read (any)
I started my excel course for Accounting Applications Certificate this week, I am already half way through.
I use it at work all the time so I am very familiar with the whole system, but the course is teaching me a few tips and tricks. Then after this one I only have Simply Accounting, and Budgets and Reports. So close to being finished, yay!
Cy has gone x-country skiing the past 2 weeks at school and he is loving it. Teris is finishing his last week at Debbie's daycare. Next week he will start the Mountain Munchkins daycare full time. This is the last year then he will be in school full time, means next year no daycare! Just for the summer/spring etc.
I was able to get Cy into the Canmore Daycare school break program, I am so excited that the boys with have guaranteed daycare until they no longer need it.
Time to eat some cake and sleep.
Check back tomorrow for this weeks menu plan.

Last Weeks Meal Plan
Forgot to post last weeks meal plan.. here it is:
Taco Salad- didn't eat yet
Chick Pea Curry and rice- forgot to buy tomato sauce
Sausage and veggies and rice-yum, and simple
Leftovers- done
Pumpkin Pancakes and bacon- ate for breakfast
We ended up haveing pizza and veg for 2 nights this week because I had bad flu. Ate a bunch of leftovers and quick food. Nothing more then we had already bought though, so kind of stuck to the food budget.

My Gorilla is out!
We made a vow 2 days ago not to yell at the kids anymore.
Getting my idea from the ORANGE RHINO blog, we vowed to not yell at the kids for a year.
We started yesterday, Day 1...lasted until about 3 pm when the kids and I were waiting in the car for Daddy to come back (who took a while), we were all hungry and I had the beginning of PMS. Which meant that I was not pregnant (again!). The kids were getting rowdy and whiny in the car, and I yelled. I apologized right after but felt so bad. It was the way I was feeling, the stress and the disappointment that led to that outburst, not actually what the kids were doing.
Then today we started day 1 again. Had an awesome day. Slept in until 10! Yay, my cold is almost gone....took the boys x-country skiing at Troll Falls. They both did great on their big boy x-country skis. I was so proud of them... then we ate an awesome dinner (i made). Just hanging out watching AFV with a lovely fir burning, when Cy goofed and knocked the laptop off the table. I yelled.. made it until 7:30pm.... not bad. Not great.
Not yelling at the kids is HARD! Wow, I wish I was one of those soft spoken mom's who sounds all gently and cheerful.... but I usually shriek instead. My inner Shrek comes out.
Tomorrow I will restart my day 1, and maybe I will actually get that star sticker (yep I bought some)
Until tomorrow.. I channel my inner YOGI...OM....AM CALM......

Meal Plan for a Pantry Clean Up
This week the first week of Jan, after the gluttony of Christmas season.
By gluttony I am referring to my budget (mostly).
So for the month of January we decided to do a challenge of no spending other then groceries, and gas. Also for the groceries we usually spend about $150 a week, we are trying to eat out of the freezer and pantry... therefore saving money on groceries too!
Here is my Meal Plan for this week- Items in GREEN are links to recipes, RED are pantry items used
Sunday: Black bean lasagna, salad- blk beans, noodles, cheese, sauce
Monday: Sweet & Sour Pulled Pork Sandwiches, green beans-
Tuesday: Butternut Squash Soup and grilled cheese- butternut squash, veggie broth
Wednesday: Elk Roast, Mashed Potatoes, and veggies-potatoes leftover from x-mas,elk freezer
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Elk/Pork fajitas-elk from roast, pork from Monday
Saturday: Rice, sausage, and veggies- all freezer and pantry
Sunday: Not sure yet...
