Thank you, Wendy

We have had teenage heartache around here today.

It's been one-of-those-days. The morning was spent facing some of the problems that have been plaguing our household lately. I don't know if we were very successful.  I spent so much time on that, that I got a late start to my packed workday.

So I worked and worked all the while hoping that there would be a break to our pacific northwest gloomy sky so that the sun could peek it's sunny head out.

It hasn't happened.

So then I was hungry. 
I went and asked the heartbreak girl if she would like something from Wendy's.
Thankfully a hunger strike was not in force and she said, yes.

So a few minutes later I entered her room with a bag full of
 a:
Bacon cheeseburger
fries
chili
frosty
Sprite

She gets to eat in her room today because today is Day 1 of "Getting Through A Break-up"  She gets to sleep all day and when she isn't sleeping she gets to listen to sad music of her choice. The song that most reminds her of the relationship.

I got this from my very smart friend, Julie. She has a teenager too. Several of them in fact.  
You can find her list of what to do for a teenage girl break-up here.

Tomorrow she will face the world like a queen and feel all better.

(I'm telling myself this so that hopefully it will happen.)

That is so Lorelai-esque of you. She encouraged Rory to have a good wallo and then move on. So sad for heartbreak girl. I'll have to get the whole scoop later.

Oh, and don't forget ice cream- she needs ice-cream...

I'm so sorry to hear this. Poor thing! She's so lucky to have a mom like you who gets it!! Thinking about her and hoping that since I'm reading this a few days later that things are at least a little better today!
