@itsallisonleigh It's such a defeating experience some days. My husband's campus ministry pay makes is livable because of my full-time job that pays more and provides health insurance.

You are worth it. ❤️

Family game night. Both kids (11 & 14) were in tears by the end of Ticket to Ride.

So it was a winner of an evening.

Just not for them.

What was for dinner?
I had a work dinner and wasn't home. Yes, I still plan and prep when I don't even eat the food. (invisible labor + mental load)
They had shepherd's pie that I made a few weeks ago and froze.
Daughter turned on the oven & reheated it

Wfd? Using leftover New Year's pork to make pork fried rice. No recipe. Just add ingredients that you have already. I'll use garlic, onion, peas, carrots, rice, soy sauce, & some ginger.
Sometimes, I add an egg when they aren't stupid expensive.
