Impressed with myself

I know that sounds a little arrogant, but I can't help it. Since becoming a full time mommy I've found it very difficult to get anything done in a days time. I have several things that need to be done and my "to do" list has become a little overwhelming. I've found that if I'm able to accomplish one thing on my list during the day, than I feel I've had a very successful day. I know how pathetic that sounds, but that's just how it is. I take what I can get in between the feedings, changings, burpings, naps, and whatever else Kinsie decides to throw at me. (Don't get me wrong--I love every waking minute I have with her, but I just didn't realize how demanding a new little one can be.)
Well, today I feel pretty darn proud of myself. I was able to sit down, plan out a monthly dinner menu, go over to help a neighbor put together freezer meals, and then take Kinsie grocery shopping for my menu items. I did all of that and even fed Kinsie a bottle while while at the grocery store. Now, I don't claim to be any type of a super mom, not by a long shot, but I am super pleased with what I was able to accomplish! And I'm stoked about my monthly menu! I've been dying to get one done for years, but I always figured it would be too hard to commit to it while I was working. Now that I'm home full time, I thought I'd give it a whirl. Tonight was our first planned meal and I can't tell you how refreshing it was to have dinner all planned out. There was no thinking involved. I just went to the kitchen, got all the items I needed (pre-purchased of course) and made a nice family dinner. I'm kind of wishing I'd started this sooner though. It saves me so much time and it was even better to have a strict grocery list to shop from.
Here's a look at what's on the menu for the rest of the month. I did all of my shopping for the first two weeks and hope to cut down my shopping to every other week.(Click on the image to enlarge)

I know many of you probably have a great system already in place and I commend you for being on the ball, but right now I just have to revel in my little moment of triumph....yeah for me :)
