Busy Monday

Busy Monday.... 

Hey Friends....my Monday began with a mix of things to do.  These things included cooking, cleaning and some bookkeeping.  Thank goodness, that I implemented some effective strategies to help me plan for the day.  I did some pre-planning for the meal I was cooking..... I prioritized the things that needed to be done....and I limited the extra time that I usually spend just glancing at Social Media.  

Welcoming our new baby boy into the family has been such a joyous occasion, but as we all know, New parents...New baby...Feeding throughout the Night....all equals, Exhaustion!

I did have to make one simple change in the meal that I had planned.  The original menu was to be Fresh cooked peas, Creamed Potatoes, Goulash, and a good pan of cornbread.  

I changed the goulash to BBQ Ribs.

Ribs are so easy to cook and mine were done in just 3 hours.  

My Kitchen smelled so good....I mean, after all...you can't beat the smell of fresh peas cooking and a hot pan of cornbread.  

Aside from all of the cooking, I had the regular Monday morning laundry to do.   This is a must around here, after a full weekend.  Got it all done!!

Bookkeeping......I always like to start my Monday, checking the books....   Managing a budget can be quite challenging, especially with the rising cost of groceries along with the many extra things that pop up.  

I have a scheduled time set aside on Mondays to do my books.....  Always great to start my Monday managing this task.
