Mathematical Mama

I was sooooooooo done with yesterday. After a pretty cranky day, I decided that I wanted fried rice for dinner. So I jumped onto the website for an Asian restaurant down the street from our house (they also deliver, cause I was feeling super extra lazy) and order some house fried rice, and a few things for my husband.  I got an order confirmation email right away. So we wait. ...and wait. ...and wait. ...and wait some more. 45 minutes tick by, then an hour.  I go back to the website to grab a phone # to make sure our order will get here before the place closes.  That's when i see they aren't even open on saturdays. *dramatic music* *falls to knees and shakes fist at the sky while simultaneously  bursting into tears* NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! So i warmed up some squash and ate some refrigerator candy... which was good, but not what my uterus... er.... belly wanted. So, i set out  to make some myself.  At first it just started...

I have had a sweet tooth from heck the last few days.  I blame my uterus. Cause why not?!  Anyway, I  have been trying to feed the sugar-craving monkey on my back while still keeping with my wheat free diet, as i don't want to end up in excruciating pain... like you do. So, I tried 2 recipes today.  The first was for Vanilla refrigerator candy , and was banging. I don't have a lot of Swerve in my house, so I used KAL stevia, and it was delightful. The second was a pumpkin ice cream recipe.  I am searching for a link, but i think my computer might have gotten hungry and ate it up. Here's what i did: 1/2 c pumpkin (I had an open can in the fridge.  I used the rest) 1 frozen banana 1 splash of coconut milk 1 drizzle maple syrup 2 shakes pumpkin pie spice Spin that in the Ninja cup devour shamelessly with a spoon (I did share with my kids... promise.) I'm thinking of making some kind of spin on the Refrigerator candy with pumpkin... I'm on ...

...whether it be "Ramble on" or "Over the hills and far away"  or "Battle of Evermore".  All are quite appropriate in their own right. The last few months have been... strange.  Strange and wonderful. JP and ZG are growing like weeds and changing into little people.  This is both fascinating and terrifying. I have discovered (through a series of tests and trials) that I have quite a severe intolerance (dare I say allergy) to gluten. This makes me sad and resentful. I almost feel (dare I say) weak and high maintenance. I haven't really talked much about it, cause I almost feel ashamed.  Why?!  I couldn't tell you. i guess it's the sheer frustration that I can be transformed from the person I am; loud, confident, and, dare I say, funny... into this pile of useless flesh, crippled by migraines and digestive distress from eating... Baked goods. That's dumb as hell. Seriously.  Anyone who has known me for any amount of times know...
