Speaking of supplements, I think I may have to have my iron tested again. (I had it tested during my pregnancy with Eliza, and it was above average.) I've been bruising like a peach, and most of the bruises I have no idea where they came from. (Although, if I'm honest, I'm a little more clumsy than the average bear.) Gauging my tiredness level is no help. I'm fairly certain anyone with 4 kids, one of whom eats 1-2 times a night, is tired. I got over my fear of blood draws a long time ago, but I'm still putting this off. Mainly because I have a fear of waiting rooms. Okay, so maybe its not a fear, per se, but a much-deserved dreading. Those labs are always small, busy, filled with old people, half of whom don't like children, and have tons of things that my preschooler and baby shouldn't be playing with but they desperately want to play with.
While I'm on the topic of being tired, I've been trying to run in the mornings before E goes to work (versus in the evening, before bed). Its.....um.....a challenge. E leaves between 5:45 and 6. So, I have to be back from my run between 5:45 and 6. Even with my early risers, that's
Did I ever share back to school pictures? The big kids went back to school last week. They are both loving it (which is such a blessing!) A came home from school every day last week and said "school is awesome!" That is music to a momma's ears, folks. Isaac doesn't start until next week, after labor day, but he's excited as well. We're getting back into a routine, which sort of helps every one. I pretty much suck at schedules/routines during the summer. But, yet, we all seem to thrive on one. Maybe next summer, I'll pony up.

Wow your journey w/the whole milk & soy this is so very similar to mine. I also was taking Calcium supplements not realizing that they contained soy! If you ever need anything or someone to talk to that's been there, know I'm here. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I think you are a rockstar doing it while raising 4 kids & still finding time/motivation to exercise!
I love your post you sound so much open heart and so clear and down to earth. May Gold Bless you and makes your efforts ,effortlessly ! Amen.
