Thursday, February 14, 2008 Archery, menu planing (lack of) Posted in Home Schooling Yesterday we left home at 12.30pm & I didn't get back till 7.30 (except a quick drop off home of cat meat) - phew what a day. - We had Archery, visit James friend who was in an accident broken leg & lost a finger now home from hospital and doing well - I had to buy cat meat & zip into quilt shop to sign up for a block of the month, then ball room dancing. And to top it I was unorgansied for meals. As takeaways are not an option with food allergies I need to be organised & I normally am - but this is the second time this week I was not organised & Brent had to cook tea. I need to get back to menu planning - but for some reason really finding this a hurdle.... I wonder if its just getting into the routine of home school & activities again. I do have a lot on & feel a tad over committed eeeek - year has just started!!! Normally I hav meals prepared & use crockpot or have simple fast meals for nights like last night. The kids had a fun home school group event of archery - both kids did real well at it - I wonder if their aim is good because Brent sets them up target practice with the gun. Anyway they are both eager to return & are talking of buying their own bow & making target practice here at home. Abbey had the instructor laughing where one arrow ended up. She  whispered to Abbey she had got the pigs willie then burst out laughing. Abbeys target James at the bow - his first shot he hit the target & of course me being me yell lucky shot! _ Maria told James have another go & prove your mother wrong. Well he hit the bulls eye. My photo didn't turn out as no zoom. While the kids did archery I picked up pine cones. - I ran out of plastic bags so ended up tipping them in the bugs boot - it was loaded. Which of course I realised was a dumb idea as I needed to buy cat meat - so James snuggled up to frozen meat & bags of lemons from Karen on way home. Any ideas on how to get back into routine re meals would be much appreciated. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend! Comments
