Day One

I read alot of blogs. Blogs on fashion for curvy, plus sized girls. Blogs about healthy food for my family. Blogs about wheat-free food for my son who may or may not have a wheat allergy/intolerance. Im addicted to Pinterest so I come across alot of articles about crafts I can do with my kids and how to discipline without ruining them, etc. What I dont see a lot of is blogs about working mums that are just trying to keep it together. I work Tuesday to Friday. My husband works Monday to Friday. My son is in preschool two mornings a week and both my kids go to daycare from Tuesday to Friday. My house is clean about 80% of the time. At least the dishes are done and the bathrooms aren't filthy. Doors are for closing so I dont worry about beds being made or untidy bedrooms. Our living room looks like a cross between ToysRUs and a restaurant most of the time. My husband and I have been together for 8 years. We struggle to raise moral, compassionate, generous, NICE kids without beating them into submission. We also struggle to keep a balance between a mutually successful sex life and a solid 7 hours of sleep a night. What really tipped me over the edge to actually sitting down and writing this was when my son's teacher suggested he get tested for ADHD. I had asked her if it was necessary. When she said that it wouldn't hurt, I was stunned and a little sad. And I did what most mothers of my generation do when their child is "sick". I sat down at the computer and googled ADHD, the symptoms, the signs, "cures" and, boy, let me tell you! There is ALOT of info out there! One thing that kept coming up was that mums with sons who were diagnosed ADD, ADHD or even on the autism spectrum had success with taking the children off wheat. I decided then and there to go wheat-free. This is my story to help working mums who want the best for their kids and themselves.
