Last week

Last Saturday I got hit by a double whammy- cramps (the monthly variety) and a head cold. The last week has not been too fun. 

Luckily LMS didn't get sick, but she's been very whiney and cranky the last few weeks. (I think she's mad that daddy's gone so much with work and this is the only way she knows to express it)

We're still waiting to hear if we got the house or not. We signed the papers, the owners signed the papers, but the lady who was going to buy the house (her financing fell through) also has to sign the papers (giving up any claim to the house), and then they get sent to the bank to be given the ok (or not). Hopefully it doesn't take too much longer and the process will start moving ahead quickly.

We have to keep the house we're renting clean all the time so it can be shown to potential buyers. Not that we usually have a dirty house or anything, but when time is short clutter can take over a bit, and 4 year olds like to spread their toys all over. Kind of a pain to be constantly picking things up, but the house does look nice. We've looked at 6 or 7 houses so far, and only one of them was occupied, and it was a bit of a dump. Not clean and organized at all. Of course, it was a foreclosure, so it could have been worse. In any case, I don't want the house looking like a dump when people come by- it does not leave a favorable impression at all.

The elimination diet is definitely helping. LMS's diarhea is mostly gone and she's mostly having normal bowel movements. Yay!
I say mostly because we've started adding things back in and not everything agrees with her, which has resulted in a couple instances of very bad diarhea, which I'm really hoping won't ever happen again.
It was horrible.
I think I'm scarred for life.
And so is LMS.

The down side to the elimination diet is that our list of things we can't eat is growing. Either that or our bodies still need more time to heal before we add new foods back in. So we're going a lot slower than planned and are keeping our meals very simple and basic. And I'm still losing weight!

How was your week?
