Ever since brian1789 left for Spain, I have been fighting depression. I have felt overwhelmed and uncaring and as though things were crashing around me. The house has spiraled downward and no one wishes to help me with it, and I am lacking in the energy to put up the fight to make them.

However....

Friday, we had pancakes. Saturday, tortellini with homemade alfredo sauce (with a salad for me). Sunday, homemade chili. Tonight, Ginger sesame chicken, coconut-pineapple rice, stir-fried Asian veggies, and fresh pineapple for dessert.*

So go me. Not a fast food meal in the lot.



*The veggies were a surprise hit. I had bought some for me, on the grounds that I have decided to eat better myself even if no one else cares to. I stir fried a couple of servings (planning to save some for tomorrow for lunch) when both James and David asked if they could have some. So I gave them those and stir-fried some more for myself. I know have a bowl set aside for tomorrow's lunch with the rice, veggies, and chicken in it. Hurray!!

I think of you a lot. And you know? Go you indeed. It's *hard* to cook dinner night after night for a bunch of kids who might or might not appreciate your efforts, with no spouse to help you out. I *hate* to cook on nights Jeff is working late or gone. Hate it.

*smoosh*

Actually, the worst part is not the cooking, but the cleaning up the kitchen afterwards : )
