Late breaking awards!

*

amy gets the Bill the Cat award for the second week running, for the little one who is “not afraid to eat [Little Pony fruitsnacks] anymore!” Inspired by this, she brought this week's theme song, courtesy of Bob Marley: “every little thing/ is gonna be all right.” May it all be right for you soonest, Pixies.

miranda gets the Bill-the-Cat Turnaround Award, similar but not quite the same as amy’s, for the great news that her sick kid doesn’t have strep! Sadly, she is still sick, but we hope she feels better soon, and enjoys a lot of popsicles for the duration.

We are issuing the cluesticks to margalit the “radical hippie,” for use on anyone who deserves them.

Three Pixie Cheers for stimulating stimulus funding and good news for Madeleine’s love.

JenR gets the What Sleep Award for what sounds like a really hard night. We hope he is sleeping better now, and you are too!

Happy Birthday to Sarah at ratatat, do enjoy the celebratory pinkeye and double ear infection! May your year be healthier than its first week!

KLee, may spring break arrive soon!

kathy a. wins the Modern Woman Award for having to “shop for a new BC method, just as [she’s] trying to figure out how to be an old lady with a pill box and HBP.”

esperanza gets our sympathy for the depleted stash of breastmilk in the freezer, and the great big exciting SECRET news. Hopefully you will get the green light to share it soon.

Sympathy to everyone dealing with health woes, family stress, sick kids, no sleeping, the marathon of Lent-for-preachers, unbloggable-work-stress, full-time part-time jobs, and the endless winter.

And sue, we are with you – that ”shiny warm globe that once shone in the sky” is welcome back any day now.

As for me: everyone who has ever done an elimination diet should appreciate the annoying irony of the fact that I now appear to be allergic/intolerant to pears. I have given up on the three-safe-foods (ha!) and am eating real food again, minus the likely suspects. I am hoping that its soy and/or dairy, not the chocolate itself, and will report more later.

Join us next week, when the fabulous kathy a. will be our host!


*Bill will only post at the top of the page for some reason. Obviously he wants to lead, so I am letting him. Either that, or it's late / I'm tired / I give up...

Thanks Redzils - I'll be keeping my fingers crossed on the chocolate front. Allergies to chocolate are just wrong in so many ways. Soy? Not so much...

oooh, a lovely and sparkly awards ceremony! thanks, redzils!

bah on elimination diets -- i'm not fond of lamb, so that one would be doomed from the start. hope you can figure it out with a limited regular diet.
