Self pity vent

I feel so bad about DD's allergies. She has egg and peanut allergies--and this time of year it seems like she just misses out on a lot of yummy food-most Halloween candy (or at least the good ones!), and tons and tons of recipes. I would even settled for eggs baked in--but not yet. I love to bake and even though there are egg substitutes that I use---I feel like I have to plan EVERY snack/dessert for her. Next weekend is a birthday party---so I plan on bringing a special treat for Reese to enjoy while there is cake. 

And then with Thanksgiving/Hanukkah and Christmas not far behind.

I just feel so bad for her. 

Plus we don't keep PB in the house--and I would LOVE a peanut butter cookie right now!

/vent/rant over.

That sucks. We go Tuesday morning for DS's allergy testing. He had a reaction to peanut butter the one time he had it (moderate) and a slight reaction to eggs. I am praying that the egg thing is gone and that the peanut allergy is at least not life threatening. It's easy not to watch what he eats but it has to be much harder when they get to your DD's age.

I feel ya! I'm sorry you are feeling down about it all. Halloween is a tough time of year to deal with all this. And then well meaning neighbors bring by treats we can't have in the house... Ugh. I just found a cute mini pumpkin Lalaloopsy doll for DD. My plan is to trade it for the unsafe treats in her bag after trick or treat. The hardest for me has been birthday parties. I always make her a safe cupcake, but it is beginning to matter to her that her treat is the same as everyone else's. It is so hard.
