Overwhelming

Started this blog on a positive note (or tried to) but it's seeming hard to keep it that way. There is sooooo much more I want to and should write. I actually do have some advice and have learned some things that I'd like to share. But life is just too crazy busy right now. I hope to contribute more from September. In a nut shell (pun intended):

1) we are headed to Canada for three (possibly four) weeks from next Friday- from the airplane (Air Canada because they don't serve peanuts) to hotels (because I'm acting as tour guide for seven of my in-laws rather than just visiting relatives at home) to restaurants (that I've completely avoided until now- but I do hear many restaurants are really good about allergies in Canada) to staying with relatives (all of whom have peanut butter in their cupboards- up high and not to be opened during our visit of course)- well this should be an educational trip for me. I hope to God all goes well and we don't have any reactions while there (or ever for that matter).

2) Still frustrated over having to be the food nazi all the time whether at school (soon finishing there) or at my in-laws. I HATE not being taken seriously over this. I hate second guessing myself if I'm over-reacting. (That or worrying that I'm not being as careful as I should even) I hate not having a support group here and not knowing any Japanese mothers with p/a kids who can offer advice. I hate having to repeat myself over and over and over and over and over. Wish I could include details here, but I'm just too exhausted right now. Maybe this blurb will remind me in the future.

So anyways, if I ever do get to blog on here regularly, I will have lots to say.
