a new year, a new blog

So, I was feeling alone in my battle of the allergies.  People can only take so much allergy talk before their eyes glaze over and they think how can I get away with out hurting her feelings?  My husband admitted to me he goes numb when the allergy chatter starts.  I so wanted to be one of those women whose husband would say "I never heard her complain once!"  and he would be so proud of me he would cry.  Oh well.  I felt I wasn't getting enough sympathy in my trials so now I complan sometimes to remind Jed that it is hard for me.  A hug works, I don't expect anyone to come up with any answers for me.
I could journal- in a journal, but a blog can get people together.  I could  help someone.  They could help me.  How many people  have blogged for thereapy?  Hmmm.
I kept a food log for six weeks.  It was good but it was private and I certainly listed all the pies I ate on Thanksgiving for dinner!  All allergy laden.
I am thankful that it is myself with allergies and not my kids.  I think that would be harder.  I do think if it was my kids I would take it more seriously and take care of them better than I take care of myself.  Interesting thoughts.  So, if you're interested for any reason or have allergies yourself- I plan on blogging my journey.  Hopefully this journey will be one back to better health and good food choices!
