Ok, so today and for a few days I have been on the down-and-out side of life! I am so tired all the time I was hoping that going Gluten free would help me with energy. I am going to start walking before it gets to hot during the day in hopes that I will get energy in the daytime instead of in the evening!
I am still trying to figure out what to feed my family.. Its not easy. A person would think it is but I not only deal with a child who has Celiac but a Celiac who is picky.. I keep telling her to learn to like new things, but its not that easy. Then I deal with guilt that really is not my fault, but the kind of guilt a mom has when she tells her daughter "no you can't have that". I can see she is really getting depressed about it and I am trying to find her a support group, I might have to start one for her. I hate living in Owensville now.. I just HATE it.. Everything is so far away. Support groups, special stores, restaurants that cater to Celiacs..
Money wise, its horrible. We would eat a lot of pasta because it was cheep, we don't eat much pasta now because it is so expensive! I have to buy a lot of meats and fresh foods and we all know how much it cost to eat healthy.. ok.. so I am on a pitty bandwagon, but this is my way to release what is going on in my brain....
John and I were doing so good on Dave Ramsey's Get out of Debt, but then I don't know what happened, budgeting for food was hard. This summer it is my goal to figure it out. LOL
I did find a store that was great. Expensive on some things and wonderful on other items, but its in Clayton and not so easy to hop in the car and go. I found some frozen personal size pizzas that Hannah loved, they are from Glutino but they cost 5 dollars each.. YIKES.. I try to make homade pizza but...YUCK most of the time.. I think I will get better...
One night I made biscuits and gravy, I was determined to make Hannah a meal that she loved.. The biscuits were.....small.. chewy.... sad.. the gravy was like eating glue....Johnny liked it. LOL
That's were my sadness lies.. Everything is changing and it has to.. My daughter is sick and I don't know what else to do to make this transition better.. I can't budget the food right, we don't eat out, I am ALWAYS cooking and cleaning and honestly I am tired.. So, there you have it.. I don't always have it together, but I don't let Hannah know that.. She helps me a lot though, the best she can...

Welcome
I am still learning a lot about blogging, sometimes I keep up with it, sometimes it's weeks before I blog again, but I enjoy it so far!
