In the process

[newmama]

Well I purchased some clothes online from Ann Taylor Loft and was able to use a 20% discount for being a teacher!

I did spend $50 more than my budget...I think they post fewer clothes online and I could have waited to go to the clearance rack like you said, GM!

Then I skipped going into work and am waiting for a clearing from the rain to take S to a park that is further away and up some hills. A natural work out of sorts...

Also I cooked something for dinner! While S was taking a nap, I made chicken nachos using stuff I had around the house! I made an inventory of food and saw that I don't have to go grocery shopping this week (can justify the extra $50 now!)...S is with me tomorrow night, then we won't need to make dinner again until Friday night. (going out of town to visit a friend for her son's b-day party on Wed)



So I had an avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, a can of red beans, some frozen mangoes, frozen corn, chicken, corn tortillas, and cheese.
I sprayed 6 corn tortillas with cooking spray (each were only 45 calories!)and baked them til crisp. I chopped up the produce and
mmixed together for a type of salsa.

I drizzled some olive oil over the chicken breasts (that I sliced in half)and sprinkled some chili powder and cumin, then roasted in the oven. Next, I chopped up the chicken really small and topped the tortilla "chips" with it, then added the cheese and melted it all. Finally I topped that with the salsa mixture and added some light sour cream....DELICIOUS!

S picked out the chicken but enjoyed the rest (the boy doesn't like meat!)

Now he is "reading" books while I type this and we will be off for our early evening walk!
