Oh my goodness, it has been one crazy roller coaster of a week. Little Bug was sick, then the hubby, then, little man - all with some sort of a 24-hour stomach bug, then a play date before school started up, then school starting up, then I came down with the same stomach bug, then a day with an unending migraine, then the hubs had an all day migraine today, now it's evening, the kids are asleep, and I'm ready to turn in, and it's only 9:30! And, I think that was the longest sentence ever.
But, there are things this week God has helped me to be thankful for: a dog who cleans up chunky vomit, so all I'm left to clean up is the stain; the little girl who doesn't like to cuddle, cuddling because she's sick; friends who come over to chat and the sun shining, so our kids could play happily outside together; school starting, so little man and I get to play by ourselves without big sister; school starting, so I only had one kiddo to deal with while I felt like constantly vomiting - and this one loves cuddles and sleeping with mommy in the recliner; and finally a wonderful husband who took care of the kids, the dog and the house while I was totally incapacitated.
With all that being said, I did manage to at least keep track of my meal plan this week. I'm a bit down in the dumps though, as their seems to be new patches erupting on my forehead this morning. I didn't really stray at all this week from the plan, except I've not been drinking kombucha in the evenings, as I've been waiting for my batch to finish fermenting. Tomorrow, I will be back on the slippery elm bark tea as well, as I've had a few weeks off like the book suggested. And my new batch of tea should be done as well.
Hmmm... I just looked over this past weeks meal plan and realized the last few days I have eaten a lot of wheat. I had mostly cut wheat out and replaced it with spelt, but with being ill, I just ate what was on hand. I am wondering if wheat is a contributing factor to my new spots. I will have to cut it out and see.
Without further ado, here is this weeks' meal plan(keep in mind their was a play date in there and a few days of illness, so it's not the greatest):
Breakfast - pumpkin muffin with cream cheese.
Lunch - sandwich on whole wheat bread with turkey, lettuce, and pickle.
