thank you for your comments on singulair...i am now putting that to my top of the list to research...
i am going to continue the "red40 devil medicine" aka singulair currently...only...because we ran out for two weeks, and mermaid immediately started the eye goop, terrible cough, and yucky breathing again...so...for now...the medicine has only had a positive impact on our life...helping my extremely-competitive-overly-emotional-little-darling-perfectionist-whiner be a sweet and loving and deep breath taking daughter...
selfishly, i prefer the child i can have a meaningful relationship with...but if i can accomplish this naturally...without any medication...i would much much prefer to squeeze more time out of my already tight time-budget!
i do have the book: why can't my child behave...ordered it a year ago...loaned it out and just got it back! it's next on my list to read...i have a feeling we will be a feingold family by the time i am finished with it...and after that i plan to read: the crazy makers...in which upon finishing i will most likely join an organic hippie christian cult...and stop wearing all clothes as i am sure we cannot afford chemical free threads...hey...the kiddos are natural nudists...i guess it's a sensory thing...
anyhow, i am only joking about the nudist cult...but...today at church i was called "very passionate" in reference to diet stuff...is that politically/religiously correct code for "she's freaking nuts...go shower...eat some mcdonalds...and stop talking about red40!!??"...
well...i am only just getting started my friends...thanks to the great arkansas public school system...i was taught NOTHING about genetically modified foods...and when you find out many years of chemical abuse later...it's a bit disturbing...now...if i can only kick the coffee habit...as chocolate and carmel syrup...hmmmm...i don't think that buying fair trade coffee absolves the chemical-brain-dump-jump-start my lovely little latte gives me each and every morning...and maybe afternoon...and possibly evening, too...i know...I KNOW...i make my own...at least i am not spending $5 every time!...
i know in my mind that i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me...but do i know this in my heart...you know...the very heart that has grown used to the constant anxious feeling and racing pulse that is daily fueled by...my beloved coffee(s)...i have felt very hypocritical in this area for some time now...
sigh...i guess there is no better moment than the present...i am committing 30 coffee free days to you my dear blogging buddies...please pray...as my dear children and husband's lives may very well be at stake as i go through coffee DT's!! i have been wanting to do this for 1 year now...Lord willing...i will succeed!
sigh...louder sigh...huffing...puffing...extremely addicted SIGH!

I've heard pros and cons about coffee. The best thing I heard was that women coffee drinkers have less breast cancer than non-coffee-drinkers. And coffee beans are natural and created by God. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
i broke my coke habit last week (sounds bad). i went from 2/day to 1/day to 1/2 day (not kidding) to a few sips a day(still not kidding). i had NO desire to quit. LOVED my daily coke(s) but the guilt set in from being caffeine free the first time around so i think i kicked it. now i do caffeine free/diet cokes.
I'd have to say that I would definitely kick a soda habit. Sorry, Alison! The caffeine in the soda isn't the ingredient that would bother me. LOL! It's the rest! So, granola...are you alive or do you need to drink a cuppa to get blogging again? :)
