Organization help for diet?

October 28, 2006

I know there were some folks on list who homeschool & do the diet,

so I'm appealing to you for help at the moment.

I have 4 kiddos, oldest is severely autistic, the others have some

form of sensory/developmental issues, baby is 14m. So I'm cooking

for 6 people (who eat like 15). I have epstein barr/chronic fatigue,

candida, hormonal issues etc; am still nursing. I homeschool

everyone & have no help with anything, even cleaning, & there are no

prospects anytime in the future for that.

I wonder how to get ahead. Dh said tonight there's no getting ahead

for me with this diet, becz I seem to overcook but before I know it

there's no food again. I can't buy the amount of food needed

to " mega cook " , because that would require enormous amounts of extra

besides what's needed for the regular week to 2 weeks that I try to

have in for. I buy so much organic that is expensive enough for the

2-3 weeks out I buy for.

I try recipes now & then, & most go over pretty well, but to

simplify sometimes I just want to have burgers every night. Dh &

everyone tires of it, but I'm tired!

I cook every meal, breakfast, lunch, dinner, even snacks. Everything

is gone before I turn around it seems.

I have so many things I need to do & no time because all I do is

cook & barely keep up with school & chores. I don't even read books

to the kids anymore unless it's school related, never mind play or

spend time with them.

I really like the diet, & have nothing against SCD & want very much

to continue. I am barely hanging in there though; it's been very

tough. I'm always so tired too.

Has anyone figured out any organizational techniques or various time

saver tips for cooking or anything that they can share with me? I

look & feel a wreck & my life revolves around cooking, & I don't

like the way that is.

Again, I like SCD, am waiting to see what will happen for us as it's

early yet, but I need to make this more workable for me somehow.

May email me privately.

Thanks in advance,

Michele
