Lu got her first fat lip yesterday and it was all my fault 🙁

We were at the park and I let, no I encouraged her, to go down the big slide by herself and without laying down.  Normally when she goes by herself she lays all the way down on her back.  Yesterday she wanted to go down while sitting up and I totally encouraged it.  Everything was fine until she got to the end and her shoe got caught on the slide and she face planted.

Thank god I was wearing a dark pink fleece because I got a lot of blood on me.  She only cried for about 30 seconds and the bleeding stopped after about a minute or so.  She did end up going down the slide multiple times after that, so she wasn’t too scared.  It was still traumatic (for me) though :(  She recovered much more quickly than I!

The camera didn’t actually come out all that much this weekend.  We finally had nice weather yesterday and I spent much of it indoors doing my taxes. Boo.

I did get pictures of a forlorn bear.  Poor guy.

No worries, he was just left there so that Lu could go to daycare.  He is still the lovie of favor in our household.

On Saturday I had a hankering for pancakes.  Since I didn’t have any gluten free flour, I made my own!  I just threw some oatmeal in the food processor to make oat flour.  I also used sunflower meal.  Both Lu and I enjoyed them.

Saturday afternoon I had a girl date!  Elaina came over and I made her lunch and then we went and got mani/pedis and saw Valentine’s Day.  It was totally cute and exactly what I was expecting. Love Actually but American 🙂 Love Actually is probably a bit better but not by much.  That was my first time in a movie theater in over 2 years!

When I got home it was 6 and I had a hungry husband and nothing much in the house.  I foraged and came up with this:

Not too shabby, eh?  Pancetta, Shrimp, and Grits.  All stuff I can’t eat but all stuff he definitely enjoys! 

Lu and I had leftover Thai food.

I did a bunch of research before going to Thai on Friday night and everything I read said that Thai is fine for gluten-free diets because traditional Thai restaurants don’t use soy.  Well apparently, except for the one dish I got.  I got Pad See Ew and it’s made with soy sauce.  I should have asked but didn’t.  Guess what?  My insomnia returned and I only slept 4 hours on Saturday night.  And I had a little bit of GI distress, not too bad, but some.  Lesson learned.

Lu enjoyed it.

Sunday was grocery and tax day.  We did go to the park and watch most of the epic hockey game (while doing taxes) but that was about it.  I did make a delicious dinner.

The recipe will be posted later today.  This is one of Shaun’s favorite things that I make. It scores a 5 every time 🙂

We spent last night cuddled up on the couch catching up with McNulty and Omar. We’re up to episode 5 on season 4 of The Wire.  LOVE that show.  This season is good but really hard to watch-still awesome though. Indeed.

And now it’s Monday.  Anyone do anything exciting?
