I woke up this morning to the sound of two toddlers fighting over a broken toy. The thing is, I only have one toddler (and a husband). The day got progressively more interesting as I tried to stay on this stupid preop diet.

In my spare time (ha ha), I am a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for children. In order to make it to a supervised visit with the parent of my CASA kids, I had to get a sitter and drive an hour, only to find out that the parents decided not to show up and the visit was cancelled. Now, that was simply annoying for me but how do you think those kids must have felt? They haven't seen their parents in 3 weeks and now (Because mom and dad have a lame excuse) they won't see them for at least another 2 weeks. I don't know about you other Mammas, but if I hadn't seen my child in 2 weeks, I would WALK, crawl or swim my way to the visit. But maybe that's just me.

This change in diet is really not helping. I am detoxing from sugar and fat---my drugs of choice---and everything is magnified times thousands.

I feel like nobody except other bandsters understand.

I know I should be happy that I'm not being forced to do liquids only right now and thrilled that I will get a small taste of Thanksgiving but I am seriously cranky and gave in for the temptation of 3 chocolate graham crackers. Yes, I did. And I would do it again.

It kept my grown-up-toddler-man from getting kilt this afternoon.

God Bless Harry & David.

It will get easier! Your story sure made me think about the holidays and how important family is...those poor kids...I swear you should have to pass some sort of test before you get pregnant; some people just weren't made to be parents! Have a great holiday and remember, it's all worth it! -BG

Electra, I don't know how you do it. I would wanna swoop those kids up and bring them home with me. I am with you, if it was my kids, I would crawl over hot stones to see my children. I don't understand them not showing up. I just don't get it. I couldn't do that to my babies.

You are so strong, and each day you get stronger. So dang what if you had three chocolate grahams? You didn't eat the whole box in one sitting this time did you? HOOOOO RAAAAHHHHHHH! I bet you enjoyed the three grahams more than you did several in the past. You have came that far!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving and Enjoy the Day with your Family.

Thanks ya'll!
