Meal preparation has never been my forte, mainly because I lack creativity and I like plain food that can be ready in 20 minutes or less. So when Justin started on solid food, everything I fed him came out of a store-bought jar. But today I finally got him to eat some regular table food: chicken and mashed potatoes. I’m so proud!

On an unrelated note…the company says I can’t come back part time. Why is beyond me, given their financial woes, but that’s the official word. So now I have a few months to ponder my next move.
