Going Well

So, things are going well in the home lately. Menu planning is steady once again. Thank you!!! I've ordered some remedies from iherb for my youngest two who are still battling this upper respiratory thing.
  I've got a small order in with a farmer for some meat. It's small mind you, but it's a start. Would have been much bigger had we not needed the ac serviced in the van. I've also got two prospects for produce. One is more cash upfront. But, it works out to less per week. Its a CSA based out of a nearby town. It's all locally grown from their garden and it's organic. However, the outgoing price is almost too hard to swallow. But, I know where all the produce is coming from! However, the drive to pick up isn't as close as I'd like :-(
  The other is option is just right down the way from my home. It's all organic, and it's on a week-week bases. I'm not locked in. I really like that a lot. However, the produce is from a local distributor who provides small/medium groups with some local produce from my state, and it's also supplemented with shipped produce from other states. That's the pitfall for me. However, it's got a lot more pros than cons.
 I'm going to try out the closer one for one week. Get a feel for the produce. If I'm happy, I'll stay with him. If not, well then I've got another option.
 I'm trying to reign in the money that we spend on eating out. Whether it's at a fast food, a restaurant, or at the ballpark. With 2 kids in sports, our family's up at the ballpark every day except Sundays. And, I can't always control the food situation. Sometimes we don't leave there until after 9pm at night. At that point we're all exhausted and hungry. We either eat at a drive through or at the field. Those nights are what they are. I can't beat myself up over that! I also don't like for my kids to feel ostracized. So, I give in and let them eat similar foods that their friends are munching on. But, it's only for a "season" and then it's not. So, okay :-)
