The MomGate MG1

So Cait hasnt been crawling yet... but she is VERY close... and she is teething, the two front bottom teeth are starting to show where they will show their pretty whiteness... but unfortunatly, what I am guessing is a combination of all three, she has been waking up at 3am ready to play. Of course when I am not ready to play she isnt happy and voices it... loudly. SO none of us have gotten much sleep. I am to the point that I cant fall asleep because I am so tired... maybe I should see if my MIL would bring over her corkscrew (since mine vanished.... ::glare Shawn::) and I cant open the wine bottle I have in the fridge. WHo cares if it is a good wine... maybe a nice glass will calm both me and Cait down.

On top of that, poor Gabe has been kept up as well. Well that and he still seems to want to fall asleep on the floor at the foot of his bed. Go figure. Anyway, this week has been crazy with Labor Day parties... so yes I know bad me for going without another menu... Blech. Anyway, tomorrow I am hoping to get some salsa made and canned for later. Yes I know I can get pretty much as many as I want from my friends who work for Frito Lay, but man I love my own fresh made stuph. We will see if the kidlets will allow it this time. I managed to get some seconds tomatoes from a local farmer today, I just hope he didnt sell me a bunch of rotten ones (at the bottom of the bushel)

I also splurged a little this week on my grocery shopping, I got a pack of stew meat, 11 dollars, but I know my beef stew will feed us for at least 3 days. Of course I make a HUGE crock pot filled with it. I love this time of the year, soups and stews in abundance... and they are usually relatively inexpensive to make.

So anyway...

Thursday: Beef Stew
Friday: Tuna Casserole
Saturday: Beef Stew Leftovers (better the second day!)
