The Journey

So, we've journeyed through the last few days together as a family on our dairy and gluten free diet and we are surviving so far. Although, I did demand my husband get out and retrieve us a cheese burger late last night. He said no. I can't help but to wonder what he is eating at work. I can just see him now stopping by Wendy's to get a Frosty. Ice cream, his weakness. While I am here reading labels and trying to come up with new recipes for my family. It's not so bad we'll just never eat out again that's all. However, we are starting to see small yet significant differences in the child that needs it most while also learning that another one is not having reactions but is just actually a little bit ornery. Which means on top of a new diet we also get to engage in character development. Parenthood is great! Now I'm having visions of Steve Martin with somewhere between four and twelve kids acting like it's no sweat. Well baby, if I don't get some cheese soon I may be sweaten it a little. I had just about convinced myself that a little junk in the trunk from the holidays was okay and that walking up and down my steps a few times a day would suffice for exercise. Yet I will be dedicated to the journey we have started, at least while the children are around. Afterall, it is a new year and last night the diet needing child said something I've never heard before, "Mom, I thought about what you were saying and you were right and I was wrong." Need I say more?
