Starting out

As the laws of Murphy are prevailing in my household and I have committed to a rather masochistic schedule for the next couple months, I realize I can't be the only person in this boat. I've got a few too many full-time jobs between looking for a job, hopefully eventually working at a new job, being in school w/ a full-time schedule this semester in the lab, and of course, being the mom of a 6 month old baby. After a fairly dry summer, now that I've committed to the lab for a while, the phone is finally ringing off the hook w/ job prospects. Feast or famine huh? Speaking of feast, how do I deal with all this stress? I eat. Here's the catch though, while all this is going on, I need to find time to cook. Just to make things even more complicated, I am nursing a baby w/ a cow's milk allergy so no cow's milk product for me. Despite a habit of eating when stressed, and usually craving deep fried goodies, I also would like to come out of this semester not looking like I'm still incubating my son and ready to deliver any day now nor should I find myself in dire need of a cardiologist. So if I can manage to keep the ship from sinking over the next few months, I'm hoping to log the stuff I've cooked, recipes I've tried/invented, convenience and non-dairy products I've tested, and maybe eventually throw in some restaurant reviews once we can graduate again from going to baby-friendly chain establishments. It'll be here down the road when I need to decide the answer to the age-old question - what's for dinner?
