My Life Journal for Today







I have a little black journal I carry with me everywhere and I fill it with tidbits of life I pick up along the way. Pictures of things I like but can't have or don't need like houses I love to look at but would hate to clean, gardens I want to stroll in even though allergies and a disdain for dirt would make a gardener a necessity, cars that would be great if they were "the one" but who has room for all 20 and the list is growing... more displays of items than there is space in any home, my fortune from almost every fortune cookie I have eaten in the past 8 or so years, stickers, drawings, book lists, gripes, you name it and it is probably in one of the 18-20 I have filled in the past few years. I look back in them rarely and then usually for that one web site so an so gave me last year for some obscure product I love, but when I need them they are there, like a memory back up for your computer. They store the specifics on the things I'd rather not forget.

The point of all this is that today I found myself jotting things down on a random paper once again and I realized I was slipping back into an old habit. One that left me constantly lost and in disarray. I won't do it again! I refuse to go back to the days of tearing the house apart at 2am looking for that one small scrap I wrote the time for the dentist appointment on and praying it wasn't yesterday but tomorrow instead. So today I shall find my little black book again and it will regain its rightful place in my handbag. Always at the ready!!

The info. that should have been written there for today...

Rhubarb Cereal






3 parts fresh rhubarb



1 part water



2 sticks cinnamon (optional)






In a saucepan bring ingredients to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes or until soft and mushy. Add other fruit or applesauce to sweeten as necessary.

The sugar I was referring to is Sucanat which is the form of sugar recommended in the Eat-Clean Diet. This is one of the few dietary plans that seems to parallel the Autism eating recommendations.

Last of all, Julie, Thank you so much for opening your home every week to our rambunscious children and us chatty moms! You are wonderful and appreciated!!
