    I have three blank 30 day calendar sheets I write all the meals that my family and I enjoy eating even if they are a pain in the but to make but we like them and I cook them some times as a treat. From bacon wrapped BBQ chicken to French bread pizza quick easy meals in the blank squares (these squares don't even have day numbers or week days written above them). I then used a whole punch and put these sheets into a section of my budget binder, making sure I had extra squares to add meals. In the next section I have a useable sheets that have two sides with seven squares on left side of the sheet and lines next to the squares the other side looks the same.. I write the dates on the squares from day after payday to payday for that is 14 days. I go back to my meal calendar fill in the blanks and write my grocery list on the lines next to the dated meals I have planed out. Then the list after I go to the store gets stuck on the fridge and if I happen to not use a meal I put it on the next meal plan and mark an x on the lines because I have what I need already and I get my self a treat or a book I wanted or stash it away for something else. Did you understand all that LOL

    I did and I commend you on your efficiency. I could never do that!
    I go week by week, sometimes day to day and Tuesday is pizza day.
    My freezer is usually stocked with everyday staples so I'm never not able to make a meal.
    We eat leftovers, too, but I bet you don't have much of that with your family, lol.

    You forgot to ask a question but I like this thread already!
    Oops, it's mine! Of course I like it, lol.

    I don't have any showers LOL we have claw foot tubs and took the showers out due to the damage they did tot he walls when the house was rental. We plan to put one in down stairs though we have two bathrooms. I use a Mr clean sponge. Then wipe the tub down with a vodka, water and essential oil mix usually use cedar or peppermint.

    Depends on how snarky I feel when I go to bed LOL I lay out the clothes I think I want to wear. Most of the time I am to lazy to change what I have laid out. It has gotten me into trouble sometimes.

    How do you deal with people who make you feel like you are walking on eggshells? You cannot cut ties and when you open your mouth everything you say is picked apart or attacked.

    The bottom question is a friend not my husband... I don't know how to deal with her and I can't remove her from my life :(.

    As for venting! I make bread and punch dough. Then I give the extra loaves away.

    How do you vent?

    It takes a lot to get me there but I'm a firecracker and I say everything out loud that I've been holding in. It ain't always pretty.

    How do you grocery shop?

    I've had the same style for years but at different lengths.

    I just tell my DIL, a beautician, what I like. If I don't like it, I just let it grow in again.

    How do you decide whether to color your hair or not?

    You decide if you'll try something new.

    How do you keep the kids busy with no power?

    (the older ones were crawling out of their skins, lol, it was really funny until it became annoying.)
    They're adults.
