Ever since ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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'm impressed and amazed that anybody can do the single parent thing, without another adult, for several weeks.
I wish I could remember what my mother did to persuade me to help with housework, which I despised when I was a child.
