I awoke early this morning. I had a dream last night. In my dream, I ate cottage cheese for breakfast (I know, it's the stuff nightmares are made of!!). Only after I had eaten it did I remember that my diet was not a "gluten-free"diet, but a "sponsor child" one. I felt really bad that I had messed up, on day one, no less! When I awoke, I was glad that it had been a dream.
Today, I plan to go to Winnipeg with Makenna for the day. One of the highlights of the day is to go out for lunch. I loved these outings with my mom as a kid, and now, as a parent, it's so much fun to do the same with my daughter. It is with one part feeling silly and one part determination that I pack my rice and beans to take with me. I feel a little white-knuckled right now...all senses are on alert, looking for all the potential traps and temptations and situations that will support my failure in this experiment. I'll need to calm down, that's for sure, or I'll be a twitching mess by Monday. :)
Gum. That's what I need. I'll chew gum today. I suppose it's not something a child across the world would have much access to, but it may help my impulse control. It's either that or a muzzle.
Wish me luck.
