Congrats ladies.

And speaking of chicken dinners, I guess I should let you in on a little secret.

With all the busy-ness this week that was starting to put me into panic mode, I did a little prioritizing.

I knew I wanted to take care of my husband first. Personal and business.
Which means a few hours each day spent in the home construction office,
even though I would rather be sewing or crafting.

Next I wanted my children taken care of also.
Clean fresh clothes, lunches made and good breakfasts.

Here is where I always panic.
Dinner time.

I knew that this week the evenings would be crazy trying to get last minutes details together for the Queen Bee Market. At 7:00 am this morning I had a light bulb go off in my head.

I knew I had no time to grocery shop.
I knew I wouldn't make dinner.

I knew we would end up eating out the next three nights
but not have time to eat out and then it would stress us out.

So.....I hired a personal chef for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night dinners.

She is a friend of mine with exceptional cooking skills.
I called her with an offer and she accepted it!
The offer wasn't for any more money than we would have spent eating out so I felt it was a justified expense. I told her we would eat what her family was eating and it could be simple.

Dinner was delivered around 4:30 today and it was delicious. DELICIOUS.
My whole family ate it! Grilled chicken and tons of grilled veggies. Perfectly arranged.

I'll treat you on Thursday to pictures and maybe even a recipe for the to.die.for garlic bread we had tonight!

I wish I was made of money. I could really get used to this personal chef thing.
Stephanie....how much for a whole week?!
