"Bless this food to the nourishment of our bodies..."
How many times have I said or heard this phrase and given it no thought? For the past several days it has resonated with me.
Today is D Day - diet day. Last night I purged the house of contraband - 3 lawn-sized garbage bags in the trash and 14 grocery bags to give away! At the time of this writing I have not had any coffee. My oldest is determined that I suffer just as much as they do, so she is watching me closely. Oooo - I just realized I didn't throw away the coffee!!
But for the safety of the children I might need some!!!
The kids have already started detoxing a little - as we would run out of things I would n't replace them. So no Sprite, so syrup, no ice cream. Suffice it to say there has been bitter weeping.
Burke even tried to talk his dad into taking him for a haircut. Burke HATES haircuts! BUT at the barber shop they are very generous with the lollipops! What a smart kid. It took us a few minutes to figure out his angle.
TTFN - I have to go make banana pancakes. Don't ask what's in them!

Julia,
Hi! I just found your blog because of your latest comment at Adventures in Autism! I'm a regular there, think Ginger is the greatest.
I'm a mom of three kids (one nearly recovered from autism, one nearly recovered from asthma). . .you asked if there was a fan club for David Kirby. . .
I don't know, but you can add a comment to his latest work on behalf of autistic kids. . .scroll down a few at Age of Autism (www.ageofautism.com).
He's a regular there. Also (mostly) lots and lots of parents there, too, in various stages of action, anger, grief, joy, disbelief, etc.
Hope to see you again, maybe here, maybe at Ginger's place, maybe at Age of Autism (I've also checked out Daily Discernment; not a regular, but into stuff like that, too).
So we have lots in common!

P.S. Good luck with the SCD. We did GFCFSF, plus no yeast, high protein (for a while), no highly colored foods. Never did the SCD, but came close! I'll be peeking back to see how it goes!
My most fervent best wishes for complete success on this new offensive you've just launched. I think I can hear the wailing and the gnashing of teeth all the way up here! They might just be making that cup of coffee for you before it's all over with! :) Hang in there!
Tell Julia to bring all of her ice cream to Aunt Andea and she will eat it for her!
How are we going to make a birthday cake in May?!
