Aug. 17th, 2010 12:08 pmI just found out, from a wonderful friend, that I can make koliva with rice completely legitimately! I looked it up and confirmed it. I was really stressed about doing Luci's birthmother's memorial when Luci has a wheat allergy. Heh. Small things stress me out and small things make me happy.
It is noon and I have not really started our day yet. Bad me. I was having a hard morning, dealing with a lot of "little" stressors that seemed huge for some reason. But I'm working through them. One of them was the koliva, another is finding Maria some other children adopted from Guatemala to meet. She is almost desperate for this. I'm finding it harder than I thought it would be. I found two Guatemalan adoption groups here in Denver, but both seem to have all toddlers and preschoolers. Where are the older kids? Weird.
So...on to making this day happen. I did make some gf corn muffins this morning (Pamela's mix). Pretty yummy, even if they did stick to the muffin papers really bad. So, the morning is not a total loss, I guess.
