Welcome to Cheeky Clean!!!
So.
Sorry for the very looooonnnnggggg break I took from blogging.
Things have been crazy around here. I have thought more than once of starting a different kind of blog entirely, but then I'd have to do it anonymously to protect unwilling subjects, and then I couldn't post it on facebook, and then no one would EVER know it existed.
So I'm sticking to this one.
As you can see though, I changed my name. The old one Clean Eats for Tiny Tummies was too long and not very catchy. As a musician, catchy is a necessity for me. And also, I'm very unclear on the direction that this blog is taking. I'm pretty sure it's not a food blog, strictly speaking, so the 'Clean Eats' seemed misleading.
Oh, did I tell you I'm a musician?
I am. I play the violin.
I am currently playing in a Celtic band here in Utah called Annie's Romance. This extracurricular activity has saved my sanity more than once this past spring and summer. I love having something that is just my own. Just for me. Every mother needs what Virginia Woolf referred to as "A Room of One's Own". She was a wise woman indeed. My band is my very own room. Where I get to go every Thursday night and remember who I was before I met my spectacular children. Late Thursday nights I come home ready to be a more or less adequate mother to them. Better than when I left.
I will be forever grateful to my talented bandmates Atta Girl Annie and Runaway Rob and Marvelous Marvin for their patience with a mom who never has time to practice, is the last to learn everything, and is ten minutes late for everything.
In other news, my kids' health has been hugely improved this summer over last. Pickle (5 yrs) has strep right now, but it's been several months since his last bout so I'm not taking it too personally. Mini (7 yrs) has sounded like she has strep all summer, but nope, it's just INSANELY swollen tonsils. She says it doesn't hurt but it looks, well, like a medical emergency is living in the back of her throat. I think we have two tonsillectomies in our future... Due to the stress of the summer's events which I am not free to discuss publicly, I have an awesome ear infection right now. Because apparently I'm 4 yrs old. Here's a reminder to all you old fuddy duddies like me: EAR INFECTIONS HURT REALLY REALLY BAD. Yummy (2 yrs) had a cold which required one breathing treatment in August, and I panicked and thought all was surely lost... I fully expected to be up around the clock for a week doing breathing treatments, but nope! After just one breathing treatment he recovered, and his cold cleared up pretty quickly.
If only the whining was also caused by a milk allergy...

Uh-Oh...
Quick update:
Sooo... we ran out of all varieties of 'milk' over the weekend. My husband was very helpful and ran to the store to get milk. I forgot to specify not to buy actual cow's milk, so of course, that's what he came home with. Since milk is in fact what most people buy when they go to the store to buy milk.
Now, I am one of those people who will finish the crusts off my kids' grilled cheese sandwiches no matter what because a) I loooove grilled cheese but feel too guilty about eating them to ever fix them for myself and b) I HATE WASTING FOOD.
So we just dove right in, and started drinking the milk. Well, Mini, Pickle and Yummy did. Just to be clear. They all had a cup Sunday night, and two cups Monday and Tuesday. And Yummy (who is 2 and would prefer to get milk all day intravenously rather than eat solid food) had probably two additional cups - one for naptime and one for bedtime, in addition to one at breakfast and one after dinner. That's a lotta milk.
So call me crazy (it's happened before, and I can take it) but Yummy has had a runny nose all day. It's running faster than my friend's husband Bryan runs away from Triscuits. (It's an inexplicable phobia.)
And about a half hour after he went to bed he started coughing. And coughing and coughing and coughing... a very dry, asthmatic, borderline croupy sounding cough.
Is this my answer? I hate to jump to conclusions, and this is hardly a controlled study, but it seems like an interesting development, right?
Or maybe Yummy just got an actual cold and I'm crazy for thinking this way...
What do you think?
