LaLaGirl – Twinfinite Chaos! Parenting Multiples and Dealing with Autism

Did you hear tires screeching right now? That was the sound of my early thirties leaving me in the dust. I hear it only gets better from here, though!

Hey, thanks for all the comments about my gluten-free-ness! It’s going fine, except that I’m a lazy slacker when it comes to cooking lately. (When I say “lately” I really mean, “since 2003.”) I know this would be easier in the long run if I would just carve out some time to do some advance preparation of stuff. Chopping vegetables and grilling up chicken and that sort of thing. But, I don’t. So, I end up eating apples and bowls of Rice Chex and ordering from Baja Fresh too often and that sort of thing. I think that’s why people say it’s expensive to eat gluten free: because it’s too tempting to just say, “Fuck this, I’m not cooking!” and just go out and find some sushi or something.

I’m recognizing that, though, and I’m determined to make it work for my body AND my budget. I still haven’t made a pilgrimage to Whole Foods (and really, that may be a good thing) but I can honestly say I’ve gone 8 days now without eating any gluten, at least not intentionally. I stupidly forgot that sodas contain malt coloring and I drank like 86 of them before I remembered, but I’ve been a good girl and drinking water and iced tea since then. Just workin’ into it slowly, I guess.

My sister’s coming over to spend the night tomorrow night – we’re having another Girls Night In with movies and mojitos. And I can’t freakin’ WAIT. Yay for gluten free liquor! It’s been a long week for both of us, and I think it’s going to be a blast.
