T minus 17

That's how many days I have until the great exodus, or at least until the vacation before the great exodus. We'll only be here overnight when we get back from vacation. Things are actually coming together! Just one room has exposed sheet rock, and that's from a closet that was framed on Saturday! On Sunday, we cleaned up the construction area of the yard and dumped all the debris in the truck, so we look like hicks again. Sorry, I can't include a pic, but I think I packed my power cord to my camera. It's an impressive sight though.
I'm going to freeze a bunch of meals for the vacation, we're staying in a motor home, to save money. I feel like I'm hemorrhaging money these days. Seriously, if you cut me, hundred dollar bills and sheet rock plaster will come out. I go to Home Depot an average of twice a day.
I hatched a scheme to freeze meals ahead of time, so I just have to pop them in the crock pot or oven, and thus save about a thousand dollars. Which sounds good to me right now. I'm fine-tuning my menu for treats, lunches and snacks. Any suggestions?

ooh, you are SO smart! I have no good suggestions...just lots of jars of peanut butter and loads of bread. Fruit and cheese sticks, trail mix. Oh! Microwave popcorn? you're going to have a blast!

I like the peanut butter idea. How about french toast....To warm it all you have to do is put it in the toaster- same for premade pancakes. Quesadillas work really well along with cans of refried beans. Although, that might not be good in a confined space.

Fry up and freeze a bunch of hamburger. You could make loads of Hamburger Helper, burritos, spaghetti...
