It's 2:30am here in the north of north. Can't sleep. Joints hurt, mind racing,and house smells like, well...ca-ca.

Let me tell you a bedtime story. It goes a little something like this...

"Once upon a midnight weary, she woke with something in her bed."

Let me set the scene: It's 1:00 am and our heroine is in a deep state of peaceful repose when she is awakened by the dreaded words, "Mommy, I don't feel good." Oh no, please let me just stay asleep. "Mom, there's something in my bed." Huh? Oh..my..god.

"Is it diarrea, honey?"

A meek nod in response. "Are you mad, Mom?"

"No, of course not. Let's get you cleaned up."

2 pillows, 3 blankets, a 3 foot stuffed horse, 2 foot stuffed dog and lots of smelly sheets later...

CLOROX BLEACH FOR THE INSIDIOUS STAIN=$1.99

OPTING TO THROW AWAY THE SOILED UNDIES AND JUST BUY NEW ONES=$4.99

HEARING "CAN I JUST STAY UP AND PLAY? I'M NOT TIRED ANYMORE."=PRICELESS!!

Sleep tight :)

Humor is something that helps me cope--I don't believe we could survive this life without it. Things always look, and sometimes smell, better in the morning light--take on new perspective. Daughter feels better now. She has an appetite, had no fever at all last night, but says her leg hurt and she had to sleep fetal style for it to go away.

I knew Wednesday night that baby girl got glutened at Grandma's. She came home with the tell tale tummy ache and a funny look about her--glazed eyes, distant empty gaze. Grandma is super supportive, but doody happens. Ugh! Last night was not fun.

I can't figure out where it's coming from.

The one ingredient I still haven't found any concrete evidence on is cocoa processed w/alkili. Is it or is it not gluten-free? Anybody know?

Sounds like our night was similar. Only mine was the stomach flu with 3 children and a husband. The laundry is coming out my ears this am as they are all just fine. Can not do anything but sit with my legs curled up because my perfect family gave me their funk. Humor is the only way of not cring sometimes at least for me.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
