Ok, for those of you who have a hard time planning meals through out the week, I found the solution. A friend of mine told me about e-mealz. You pick whatever store you want to shop at and it will make you a meal plan, give you recipes, AND make your shopping list for you. It's awesome! Just go to www.e-mealz.com to find out more.

The biggest thing going on this week is that Lauren has been sick. She had been running a fever for a couple days, but had no other symptoms. All of a sudden her fever sky rocketed to 105.4. Talk about scary! The good thing about this was that for the first time her fever went up without having a febrile siezure! YAY! I was excited! Anyway, after a trip to the pediatrician we found out the she has a bacterial infection and we now have to take an anitbiotic. No problem you think? Well, the medicine is quite nasty smelling and tasting. Try telling an almost three year old that they need to take it because it's good for them! We have been mixing it with ice cream and taking it that way. Even then, there are a few tears. She's a trooper, we will get through this! It's hard to be the mom and make them take stuff you wouldn't take!

I'm sorry Lauren feels bad! I hope she gets better soon and doesn't have to take too much more of the yucky meds. Did she like seeing the pictures of Zachariah even though she didn't get to see him this week?

wow, 105! I don't think any of us have cracked 104. Hope she is feeling better soon.
Can you email me your phone number? lee87@juno.com
If I remember right, you got the Aldi plan? Lori got that one and didn't like the recipes all that much, she changed to the Walmart one (which is what I have) and she likes the recipes on that plan a whole lot better. (Obviously, you can still shop at Aldis using the Walmart plan.) We've probably been using it for 4 weeks and only had 3 or 4 so-so meals, the rest were really good. They will let you switch for free--if you want me to mail a copy of one of the walmart weekly plans to see if you like it better, I can.

I did switch to the Walmart plan and was able to buy most of the ingredients at Aldi's. But sometimes the price was cheaper at Walmart and I knew that since the prices are listed on the shopping list.
