Celiac Dad to the Rescuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue!
Gilli's pretty much packed and ready to go to camp starting on Sunday. Before I get into it, you might want to read the posts I've put up. Short summary -
Gillian was diagnosed with Celiac disease about a month before my accident, and thankfully with a change in diet, is relatively normal. As long as she is careful about what she eats, she's got a nice, healthy, long life ahead of her. No meds or treatments. Just can't digest gluten - makes her puke....spectacularly. I mean it - rainbows and everything
So we were thinking of taking a camping trip this summer, so I wanted to look up information about anyone who had been camping with Celiac. Found a few places that had some tricks, a place that had all of the exact ingredients for a REALLY tasty gluten free s'more. Searching for other stuff, I came across the website for a Celiac CAMP! Originally I was going to volunteer, but they already had enough people.
The great thing about it is for a whole week, Gillian will not have to ask "Can I eat this" or "Does that have gluten in it?" She won't have to have special food, or have different plates, or worry about just being DIFFERENT!! For a week, she'll be just like everyone else and hopefully make a lot of friends and have a great freakin time.
While we sit in an empty house, pining for them both. Oh yeah, forgot to mention. My sister is in town from Chicago and Aidan is going to my Moms in Long Beach to hang out for the week. I'm leaving Sunday morning, dropping off Fae at a friends house, taking Gillian and Aidan with me to drop Gilli off at camp in Rhode Island, turning around and driving to Long Beach to my Mom's house. I'll work from my Aunts house (right across the compound) and then go into the office from there on Tues am and go home afterward.
Going to be a quiet week

Like the new layout. Got your three columns.
It does sound like a nice quiet week. Make sure you make time for the Bo Sox games. We got the Yanks for the weekend. Won’t make it to the game, but I’ll be watching from the comfort of my living room.
Enjoy…

The only game I can watch is Sunday and I’ll be on my way back from dropping her off
Living in NJ and being a Sox fan is not easy.

Matt,
CommetLuv is a plug in you find on wordpress. Install it and then activative it. Pretty easy. I’d look good on your site.

Another Angel win over the Yanks on Sunday. Doesn’t seem like your Bo Sox are taking advantage of it. Damn, Rays…

No kidding, and one of the partners in my company is a HUGE Rays fan.
They keep relying on Buchholz when they shouldn’t. Wake’s going on the DL now, which makes it worse. Hopefully they’ll give his spot to Masterson, and then bump Buchholz when Wake comes back and give his spot to Masterson as well. He’s not amazing, but he’s REALLY consistent, which is what they need right now.
That, and Varitek needs to start fucking hitting!!!
