I still haven't sat down to do our taxes yet. I will get them done today. I can't put it off any longer. Hopefully we don't end up owing the IRS again this year. :-/ We also really need to go pick up the dresser for Carson's new bedroom... hopefully we'll actually do that today. Then maybe I can get a coat of primer and a first coat of paint on it today, as well... but that might be wishful thinking. I haven't figured out everything that I'll try to accomplish in the kitchen yet, but I have some ideas included in the plan below.
We've been slacking on our lunches lately, so I am really going to focus on making sure we're all taking healthy, nourishing lunches every day this week. I've listed some lunch options for the week below. I'm planning to take a small salad every day this week. I normally avoid salad at lunch time, but I'm going to give it a try this week and see how I do. Eventually, I'd like to always just take a big ol' salad for lunch every day, but I'll start with small salads and some different side items. I figure I need to try some different things to try to make some bigger progress on losing some poundage.
Carson's room is really coming together. He has slept in there since Thursday night last week. We still have to finish up some things up in there... painting the dresser, figuring out a closet organizer (the kits are all too big, so we have to build a custom one), getting a floating shelf for the long wall, getting a lamp, and getting things to hang on the walls.

Good luck with Carson's room. I hope he sleeps well in there. If all goes well we'll have Rebecca in her new room this week too. Just have to get the toxic fumes from the dresser out :P
Sounds like some yummy meals. And more grain free meals for you?
Good luck with the salad. I hope your tummy handles it well. I'm very anxious for spring/summer and lots of fresh veggies/raw veggies/salads. It will definitely make grain free easier.
Yep, all our dinners are grain-free this week, I think. If I had buns, I'd have burgers on the buns, but didn't want to make a special trip to the store just for buns. Plus, I figure it'll be a good "training" week if we do go primal. At least on the grain front. ;)
