End of month wrap-up

May 31st, 2007 at 10:22 am

Work is frustrating. I keep meaning to do more work, but my body hits a limit, my spouse won't get help, and he's swamped with work of his own, and my child needs attention and instruction.
I would very much like to put in 46-50 hours a week, so I don't get rejected for my vacation application.

My spouse has netted almost as much as I have over the past two weeks. He doesn't have the lucrative overtime I have. Maybe I have to bite the bullet and spring for some microwaveable dinners to bring to work, instead of bringing leftovers and as much fruit as I can handle. Or, Merciful Spirit help me, take the car and manage an eleven-hour day a few days a week.

    I don't know if it helps, but you can make your own microwavable dinners! Chicken and rice freeze really well, and you can also stick in some frozen veggies right in the tray. Then just pop it back into the freezer and in the morning, grab and go. It's a little more $$, but the chicken breasts are great -- especially if you have or know someone who'll give you a foreman grill -- you can grill them, slice them up and put them into the freezer.

    Another thing that might help is you can make your own toaster pancakes -- just make pancakes, let cool, and layer between freezer paper (or tin foil, whathave you). In the morning, toast like the boxed kind and voila! Instant breakfast. Pretty much anything that's frozen in the stores can be frozen at home (just gotta make a big batch at a time.)


    (hugs and good luck!)
