Last week was our annual SCUBA banquet and my wonderful son won a gift certificate for me in the raffle. It was for a local dinner club - where you put together meals for freezing! I went today and made three meals for us to eat after we get home. I made: Greek Salmon, Manhattan Steaks, and Parmesan Chicken Tenders. I got a couple of sides to go along with them, so we should be all set for a few days. I already have some meals in the freezer ready to go, so at least we won't starve when we get home! I remember the last times we came home with a new child/children, and it is just so overwhelming trying to assimilate back to the correct time and help a frightened/stressed child at the same time.
Today I washed the last of our clothes to be packed, and tomorrow is the big packing day. I really want to have everything in suitcases by tomorrow evening and downstairs by the front door. Wish me luck! Any thoughts on how to pack lightly? I ALWAYS totally overpack...
Then Monday and Tuesday are cleaning days. I'd like to get the house pretty much in shape so that we can come home and just veg out.
Yum! I'm so glad you were able to put that gift certificate to good use. We'll be sure to have some fresh fruits and veggies for you when you get back too.
