Since your schedule is so busy each day with work and the activities for the children why not try and take a lunch break a few days a week (not sure if that is possible with your job) and do like you did today... something just for you!
I like the idea of a pie and good food! Heck, not too long ago I ate my dinner OUT OF THE POT with a WOODEN SPOON. If you knew me IRL you would just die. I used to cook each night, set the table... the whole nine yards. For one I wanted to see what it felt like to be a rebel against fine southern manners. I even left dirty dishes in the sink all night!
