Today was a little easier on me then the two previous days. Both of my children have some kind of virus and have been laid out on the couch for most of the day. They haven't had much of an appetite, so my need to cook a lot of food was slightly diminished. The sickness also allowed me to clean my house because home school was cancelled due to illness :). My oldest daughter is still having some melt downs over missing her favorite sugary cereal. I am attributing this to her illness as well! My husband actually caved and gave her a small bowl of it at bedtime. UGH! His argument made some sense to me however. He feels that because she is so sick and has been craving the same thing each of these three days, her body may need something in it to push her out of the illness. For me, being off sugar and grains for over a year and 4 months, I would not have caved so easily. However, maybe he is on to something in this particular case. Anyway, as of tomorrow, she is back off the sugar and the grains. We are almost half way through the week, and I am feeling reinvigorated to feed my family REAL food.
