I am sad right now. A year ago yesterday is when my mom had her stroke. She almost died this week last year. We had planned a big Thanksgiving feast with all of our family instead we stood vigil at her hospital bedside. I feared my mom would never get to meet my unborn child. Fortunately, for us, my mom lived for two months after her namesake was born, 8 months that we had on borrowed time.
We have been struggling in our household for two months now with sickness. I am sick of the sick. Liam has another ear infection. We just cannot seem to get healthy. On top of that we are really struggling with the gluten free thing. Ya that sums up our life, work, sick, gluten free, sick, work, gluten free who has time for anything else?
Last week we went to a gluten free bakery and spent a ton of money only to have most of what we bought turned out to be pretty gross. It was not bad tasting because it was gluten free more like they could not bake or cook. Made me feel good though, my Levi proclaimed my pizza was 100 times better then what we got at the bakery. I need to experiment more with the baked goods. I know I can come up with really good gf bread.

Heidi, I am just laughing at your post. 1. Because I didn't know you had a blog. I just randomly found one of your comments on mothering dot commune (I was searching for celiac stuff). 2. Because we just had the same gluten-free bakery thing happen to us today at the Pike Place Market. We were there visiting with family and my dad saw gf cookies, like ginormous, bigger than Costco sized peanut butter with chocolate chips. Who are these people and where did they learn how to bake? I've only make gf bread twice and I could have told them that something that big and gooey won't turn out right. It was crunchy and soft in all the wrong places, like a collapsed souffle made out of corn syrup. Ugh. Even breaking it up between eight people we didn't finish it all.
Well, nice to "see" you. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
