My hubby agrees with whatever or he doesn't eat. He's pretty easy, though. Tonight they had Chi Chi's chicken tacos and grapes. Grapes were for the kids. DH doesn't eat fruit very often. I had my every day salad.jrstephens said:I still need to decide waht to do with my chicken when I get home and I get off work in 3 minutes, ha!!! uhh!!! Vanessa suggeste BBQ chicken sandwiches and although we had bbq wraps over the weekend, I am thinking of going with this b/c it will be so easy with my already cooked chicken! If my hubby will agree!

and I took the kids to the park, got my brows waxed, hair trimmed and nails done.
I am packed , excpet for the stuff I will need to put in tomorrow morning after I shower. I have my bag with snacks, water and soda and will go over my list one more time, but I think I am ready to go. I have a long list for DH, who is insulted that I think that he can't take care of the kids. I know e can, I just feel I am the only one that can take care of them they way they need to be taken care of, they are my babies, I gave birth to them I am getting off topic now, but the turkey loaf and taters were yummy

I made a double batch, one for my family and one for the road.
I will miss you too. I am debating on whether or not I should take my laptop, can't decide. I love smoothies too, I have one for my lunch everyday, I make a strawberry, banana, blueberry smoothie. I had one from Smoothie King today since we went to the park.
