Last week, focusing time and energy on home projects left me exhausted. This week, it was mental and emotional exhaustion that did me in.

I spent most of the day yesterday in a fog, desperate for my bed. Even though the kids and I spent the morning baking cupcakes, I had a hard time engaging with them. I felt guilty about it, too. It's not their fault there's a pandemic or that their parents are running on fumes.

We're doing our best under the circumstances. I know this. But they're young, and they don't understand what it means to be spread too thin. With no end in sight.

Are you also feeling drained? How are you handling it? How can this blog and this Taste As You Go community be of help? Leave a comment on this post or send me an email. 

Because I can't be the only one who feels that there must be a better way... Thank goodness I have this website to help take my mind off the thoughts and worries rattling around in my head. And, for the first time in a long time, I'm not rushing at the last minute to pull together a menu plan. If you're curious, here's what I've planned for dinner this week.

A Week of Dinners: August 30 - September

  • Sunday: Spaghetti and Basic Baked Meatballs with Marinara Sauce and Garden Salad

  • Monday: Grilled Salmon with Rice and Grilled Zucchini

  • Tuesday: Ground Turkey Taco Night

What do you have planned for dinner at your house this week?
