Menus?
I'm finally accepting the fact that I can no longer use the holidays as an excuse to not cook dinner 
What's everyone eating this week?
Sun: Pasta fagiola type soup (found on pinterest)
Mon: Lasagna with salad
Tues: leftover soup
Wed: tacos
Thur: leftover lasagna w/salad
Fri: baked chicken, not sure about sides
Sat: Jake's bday party, ordering pizzas
Also, did you guys know that Olive Garden salad dressing is available at Sam's Club???? I was so excited. That was my motivation for making salads as sides this week.
Re: Menus?
I didn't make a menu this week...I'm just winging it. Maybe next week - I was in denial that all the fun is over. Last night I made chicken with a mixture of mayo, parm cheese, lemon juice and Mrs Dash spread on top. Then it topped it with panko breadcrumbs. It was pretty good...very moist. Tonight if I don't take Noah to ice skating lessons, we'll have pork chops and the rest of the week is a mystery!
We've been buying that OG dressing at Sam's. It's pretty good - it's still slightly different (I think) than what you get on their salad, but I do like it.
Sunday: Ribs; roasted potatoes; veggies with cheese sauce
Monday: Roasted chicken; italian 5 grains; green beans
Tuesday: Chicken and veggie fried 5 grains
Wednesday: Mustard glazed pork chops; roasted winter squash; risotto
Thursday: Venison chops; wild rice; roasted cauliflower
Friday; Chicken alfredo with broccoli; bread sticks
Saturday: Pot roast with carrots; mashed potatoes

I agree--I think it's creamier than the kind in the restaurant. But, I enjoy it more than most other bottled italian dressings, so that made me happy.

If by "gearing up" you mean having an anxiety attack, then yes
I see those preschool kids all together at school, running around outside, then picture them ALL IN MY HOUSE and I get scared and wonder WTH I was thinking! But, I am excited for him, I think he's going to have a blast, and I just need to let go of my ocd-tendencies for a few hours while they're there.
