[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are not alone.  I am also a single mom with an early drop off and late pick up.  There have been some great suggestions here and I have gotten some great new ideas so thanks to all those who posted helpful comments.  I will repeat that the freezer is your friend.  I use a crockpot (overnight, not during the day when I am gone) and freeze individual portions in disposable bags and plastic containers.  I also cook on weekends.  My daughter loves to help (at least for a while) so it's partially "quality time" and partially one long Disney princess movie.  It's a small price to pay so we can both eat healthy food.  I don't do take out or fast food; on those crappy nights, my go-to meal is scrambled eggs, cereal or oatmeal -- she thinks it's a treat and I can make dinner in 5 minutes or less.  And a glass of wine for me -- I find that always helps.  So good luck and go slow -- once you get your freezer and pantry stocked, it will get easier.  Good luck and do the best you can.  It's all any of us can do.  [/quote]
