Welcome!!

Welcome Family & Friends! This my attempt to keep family and friends updated on my family and me. I have previously used myspace for my blogs but I'd like for my non-myspace affiliated family and friends to have access to my rants and raves about the minutia of my life without having to log on to myspace. Oh joyous fun!

I am always looking for pointers on how to be a better mother, wife, daughter, friend, etc..., so please feel free to comment.

Today's topic: Food Allergies

I am officially a sufferer of food allergies (began in early pregnancy.) When I ingest any food containing an unknown antigen (I need more tests) I will have an anaphylactic reaction. No fun for anyone! It had been almost a year since my last reaction when I had a moment of weakness. It was Friday, I was cooking dinner, and Eddy brought home a pair of cupcakes. You know, the store-bought chocolate ones with the white yummy filling. Nothing but calories and cavities in a package! So, it was 5 minutes until dinner time, and I couldn't help it...I took one bite...then two, and oops, one whole cupcake was gone. I began to feel a sensation of fullness (one of the intial symptoms of a reaction) but started eating dinner anyway...a few minutes later and the reaction started...the rest is history. Yuck!

I cheated once and got busted hard! I really think somebody gave me "ojo." Is there a curandero in the house?
