Some days are worse than others...some are the best

Hi; Jeff here:

So today I found a food that is a bad choice for me. You see I love chips but with the SCD all chips are out. Pork Rinds however are okay. Not so for me. I have been having the loudest tummy in a few months and burps that taste wretched. So this kinda put me on edge...yeah, I know it is such a little thing i shouldn't be so sensitive...oh well, be glad you aren't married to me!

I decided to make myself a tunafish sandwich without bread. So I made the mayonnaise, grabbed the homemade relish and a can of store bought tuna. Plopped it all in a bowl, added spices and the smell was great. I glanced at the side of the Tuna can. The front reads "Tuna in water" the ingredients list shows "Tuna, vegetable broth (soy), water, salt" I can't eat soy. I believe my word at the time was "fudge-a-muffin" (which is pretty strong cuss word for me, right after "chripse" and "dang-a-chow-whuup").
So i didn't feel good, had no dinner, and had a Sunday school lesson which drastically needed work.

At this point I looked over and saw Heidi sitting at the table with her dinner. She wanted a PB&J sandwich, dates, goldfish crackers, and a scrambled egg shake (her first venture into creating a recipe: hard boiled egg, cucumber, celery, banana blended up. It isn't horrid) . She must have known something was up because she smiled and said "I love you daddy, do you want some of my scrambled egg shake." Some days her smile is all I need. Parenting is horribly good sometimes.
