gluten free

so I posted the other day I'm going to try gluten free for my psoriasis. after a recent strep infection and round of antibiotics my psoriasis has flared up big time. coming back in places it has not been in over a year. itchy and my feet ache and my hands hurt with what should be simple tasks such as using tongs while grilling out.

I told myself I'd start for really real on 8/1 but I really started and have stuck to it since about a week ago. at first I thought o was noticing improvement already, and I was excited but i have new areas today and I am itchier than ever! ugh! I've also been an emotional wreck, ugly crying at least 3x in the past week (it's also PMS week but I'm not normally such a cry baby)

so I'm not sure what's going on but I'm going to stick it out for at least 30 days. I read it can take 60 so if I see ANY improvement in 30 I'll likely keep going.

I am also looking into other things that will help my gut health, since antibiotics caused yeastie things to happen in my girly parts I'm thinking that's going on inside my gut as well and causing this relapse.

well see. I hope to share some progress along the way and possibly help others as I've been searching and reading blogs myself for insight.

today was an off day for me so my eating was strange:

coffee from a coffee place with cream and sugar free syrup

gluten free chex mix I made (fall time recipe) yogurt bark I made and a black bean brownie (wondering now if maybe my oats are not gluten free?)

turkey meat with a slice of provolone

Turkey meatballs over "zoodles"

more yogurt bark

super itchy today and p has spread. oats used today and 2 days ago may not be gf. going to look into that more.

so far it has not been that hard. I did have to pay more attention at the store and google some things. I found gf soy sauce in wm but had to go to a health food store for gf hoisin sauce for a recipe this week.

I feel like if you stay away from boxed crap (read easy meals) it's not too rough besides pasta man... I love pasta!

Sometimes I Wonder

 I wonder about God. I wonder how everyone says "God will never give you more than you can handle" I have been given some hurdles in life, and sure, I got through them, but did I really handle them the way they should have been handled? Sometimes I am pretty sure, even though I made it through, it was indeed more, than I could handle.  The main example of this. My children. Four. Seriously? God? Did you really see in me, someone with the patience for four children? Some days, no, that is a lie, MOST days, I do not feel worthy. Most days I am certain I have failed somewhere  Somehow every day I make a mistake, sure sometimes its a small one, but sometimes its a major one and I wonder... What was God thinking???  I just hope I guess, on that day that I make my way to the top (I hope I go to the top) that God explains to me exactly what his plan was for me, and I hope he tells me I got it somewhat right, even though I felt like I was messing up 90% of the time.  So tonig

Ready to go....

Pawlie goes in tomorrow for his big surgery. His rear left leg is going to be amputated. I never in my life thought I would agree to spend so much damn money on an animal, but besides his leg he is JUST fine. He's not a horse! He should not have to be put down because of a bum leg right? It just seemed wrong. So luckily we were able to put this on credit and get it done and save his life.  Tomorrow at 7:30 if you can, think of Mr. Pawlie and the Dr. doing his amputation. I hope it all goes well, and he can bounce back to the damn cat that only loves Tim and not me :OP~~

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)
