Cleanse Me

Here's the deal.  Im feeling like a bad parent.  My little man, Atticus, is sick.  Not feverish or anything, but he has indigestion.  He spits up all the time, and not the overfull spit up.  Its mucous-y and long after i have nursed him.  Now this is how Roxy was when she was a baby, and the doctor had us give her an prescription antacid.  This time, knowing how Roxy is with allergies, and that I do not tolerate dairy well at all, I know he is sick because of me.  These past few weeks have been awful- food wise.  David is studying for the mcat non-stop.  I have had two tests, and another one coming up.  Dishes are piled up and only washed when we have to make something.  Also, on top of that school has been messing with our financial aid, which means we had to come up with a lot of money for past due tuition-prolonging time between grocery shopping (thankful for parents who live close and are willing to help out and make us food sometimes).  


Needless to say... these past few weeks have been hard.  I have not been as diligent with my nutrition, and then Halloween.  Candy is my weakness, and I did have the candy Roxy couldn't.  Now my poor boy (and my stomach) are dealing with the aftermath.  So i am going to do a bit of a cleanse.  Nothing long, and not for any weight loss, but there will be a lot of green smoothies, and salads.  Honestly its probably gonna be less of a cleanse and just a better, plant based diet with more liquids.  So maybe its more of a cleanse of the diet, much less a body cleanse.  I feel bad for my babies, but not depressed, just motivated to get us all back on track.
