I am so glad the weekend is here! It is itme to do my grocery shopping. We managed to do well the first 2 weeks of the food budget. I stuck to my dinner menu and enjoyed the fact that I had everything that I needed to make each meal at home. No running out to the store for one or two things. I am going to sit down today prior to shopping to figure out what we need for the next 2 weeks.
A couple of observations-my husband will eat any and all sweets that are available to him. He had eaten all the brownies for DD lunch this past week so I am going to have to be a little more creative with hiding stuff.
He also ate all the corn chips I bought to make chicken nachos. That was a bummer.
The kids ran out of dessert-not exactly a need but something they enjoy. Could have used the brownies but we know what happened to them.
So, keeping all that in mind I will try to come up with some other ideas to protect the food.
I caved in and got my haircut last night. I love my hair! My hairdresser whom I have been going to for the past 7 years always does an awesome job. I am so happy with it! It is a cute short cut, full of layers, and style. He highlighted my hair to a really light blonde-almost platinum. It's different and so what I needed!
I am putting in some overtime at work today and then off to hang with the kids and do the shopping.
Tomorrow DD starts her travel soccer practice. She is going to be practicing with members of our local professional team. Not bad for an 8 year old!!
What do you think-should I put a lock on our kitchen cabinet to keep the Hubs away from the food?!
A haircut and a food thief!

Anyway, my dh knows to hide certain foods from me. Or he just lets me know I can't have it. I have asked him to hide things from me. Self-control and food is just not something I can put in the same sentence personally. So yeah, I say HIDE IT! But yeah, if he lets me know the plan (like, "I bought this specifically for the kids' lunches"), I can usually behave. Sometimes it is just good to communicate it.

As for the food - BF does the same thing. It totally amazes me how he can eat a whole sleeve (or two) of cookies in one sitting, just as a snack! He's not a fat guy at all, but not skinny either (6'1, 200 lbs)... so maybe that adds to it some. I know he "needs" more calories than me, but holy cow! We buy chips and they are gone in two days!
