three weeks of

this candida diet...and i'm tired of it! it's no fun at all. i'm miserable...but i feel less foggy. :) i miss real food, the kind that makes one feel full. last night we ate tomato sauce for the first time in weeks....i missed tomatoes! i made a mexican casseole of sorts...it was delish!

after that day that baby boy's momma picked him up early, he's done so well. he's such a happy baby! needs to be entertained a bit...much like cm and ar were as babies. c-g, she's perfectly content to play alone...i love that!

seems like i'm getting in a post or two a month.

I'm tired. I'm feeling better than I've felt in quite a while though. I've been on the candida diet, and though miserable, it does help wiht the forgetfullness i've been experiencing since january of this year! i enjoy cooking too much to enjoy this diet, but it's not a diet to stay on forever anyway.

I tried a new type of flour this morning in the biscuits. Pelt flour....makes for incredibly hardy biscuits. they were yummy./ :D who knew? apparently white and wheat flour aren't good for the candida diet, but the pelt flour is less processed, and alright for this diet...my dh and i were so glad to be able to eat biscuits and gravy that we drooled this morning i believe!

I've been taking care of my friend's son now for two months. hard to believe! He's a precious baby, but today he wanted none of nanny...he wanted mommy. so she took the rest of the day off to care for him herself. I think they were both relieved to tell the truth. He was happy as soon as she took him...and she looked relieved as well. I know she must ache when she leaves him here everyday...so a day off will do them both well i believe.

I praise God for everyday that i am blessed with the chance to help her with her boy....but i praise God more that she WANTS to be with him.

Busy Week!

This week has been super busy. Of course, Monday was Labor day...Tuesday was AJ's birthday and Wednesday was our chiropractor appt. Thursday was my birthday, and tonight is the Homeschool associations back to school party. tomorrow my dh is taking me shopping for my birthday...and then the next week begins. The good news is that i think next week will be slower. :)

AJ had a good bday...she got a sewing kit. Last night i sat down and started teaching her how to sew her little kit that I got for her. once she gets it, there'll be no stopping her! She's such a precious joy she is!

I had a good bday too. surprise visits from a friend, ecards from online friends, birthday wishes from my mom, dad, and younger sister...and flowers and dinner (and a card) from my hubby. a great birthday compared to last year. :)

it's been a little over a year since hurricane katrina. things around here are still a mess, though not nearly as much a disaster as this time last year!

i'm back...

and had a wonderful time. :) until, of course, the ride home...so i'm an hour away from home, and need gas. i go into this little town for gas, and there are these rail tracks...we bounced so hard over them that i busted my transmission fluid pan! we had to get my dh to come pick us up, and have a tow truck come to tow my van home...oh man, not a fun check to write there!

we're fine, and the part will be in on thursday he thinks. so great vacation...you know coming home is always the worst part of vacation anyway. :D
