I had my first honest-to-goodness, real solid food meal tonight, since getting blindsided by DH over the weekend. H is traveling for a few days, so we've boarded the dog, which meant DS and I weren't in any hurry to get home after DC. I was all ready to heat up some leftovers at home, when we were walking by Cafe Rouge and he said he wanted fries. So in we went, and we had a lovely dinner. DS had chicken strips and fries and I had a minute steak, fries and green beans. Simple enough that my stomach could handle it. I think it helped that I had spent the bus ride doing some positive visualization, thinking about the fresh start that DS and I are going to make when this mess is all sorted out.
It's been an exhausting week. I feel like Friday is already here, and I'm panicking because everywhere I have called around has long waits to get in to see a relationship counselor. FX that something turns up soon. I also now have a short list of lawyers to look at, but I am oh so tired. I think I am going to call it an early night.
I know the situation isn't the same, but last time my heart was broken it helped to think of all the annoying things that I had come to accept that I no longer had to put up with. It was always a little mini spirit lift.

Can I boldly suggest that you get some individual counseling as well? Not that there is a single thing wrong, I just know that when I was going through my divorce, I felt like my whole world was upside down and counseling was very helpful to me. (in fact I still go occasionally, just not for the same reasons)
MapleMe I can't find any info on that set either. I couldn't even figure out if it's BPA free. Go with your gut in this one.
I don't know what my gut says! They taste fine...
Lol! Okay, personally I would probably toss them or save them until she doesn't mouth things so much. I have an irrational fear of my kids somehow swallowing enough lead to be harmful, probably from working with kids with pica. That's no help to you, but yeah.

Lead is illegal in toys since like 74 or 69 or something. And it looks french, I trust the french more than I trust the U.S. of A.
I got tickets to the Garth Brooks concert in Boston tomorrow night. MH was supposed to watch R but is out of town on business. So we have a sitter. She's a trusted friend with grown kids of her own, but OMG I'm terrified. This will be the first time I've been away from him for more than an hour, and the first time I've been more than 15 minutes away. And the first time anyone but me or MH has put him to bed. But I'm really excited about the concert. But terrified.

You are in Boston?? I'm going sat night. If this nausea doesn't turn into the flu...
She did fantastically well. She woke up while we were driving home (45 min away) and when we got home my friend and M were just chilling on the couch with a bottle. M looked kind of out of it and confused, but otherwise was quite content. And she settled back to bed normally when I nursed her. And even better, my friend enjoyed it and wants to do it again!

Hoping you don't have the flu. Did you POAS yet?
I live in NH just north of Boston. We tried to get tix for saturday night but were not successful. (We could only get them for the 10:30pm show, and I'm too old and sleep deprived for that). So we have tix for Thursday. Oh well!

Guys. Calm.
Freezorburn, I really don't know what to say besides you're still in my thoughts. I'm glad you had a good meal out with DS. Oh. One thing that helps me at least feel good physically when I'm too stressed to eat is protein shakes. Like one of those big tubs of protein powder where you mix a scoop with milk.
This morning must have been some sort of milestone for V.for the first time in probably over a year he did not wake up in the morning crying. Nor did he come into our room. He turned on the light in his room, turned on the light in his brother's room, and was playing in his room. I feel like it set up the rest of the day so much better.

So jealous you both get to go to Garth Brooks! Please AW about it afterwards so I can live vicariously through you. :-)
Awful's spin on TJ's chicken: caramelized 2 onions and 3 bell peppers (one was really tiny), added the cup of rice and 3 c. chicken broth then poured over chicken breasts that were pounded out a little and sprinkled with dry Italian dressing mix. Came out so good and DH loved it even with the peppers he usually hates.

Good to know the peppers turned out. I was going to add some but I wasn't sure.
I did vegetable broth (I had it open in the fridge) onion, carrot, broccoli, and 1/2 white 1/2 brown rice. It was pretty tasty. I also put in pepper, Italian seasoning and a little garlic.

I just took a screenshot so I can find this easily once I have all the ingredients It was approximately how many chicken breasts?
