All about oatmeal

I hope today has been a great day for everyone.It has been pretty good for me.Busy as usual.I seem to have a hard time getting to my blogging lately but things should slow down soon.Today we went over to my sisters to pick strawberries because her patch is overflowing so that was a real blessing.I am sure most of you have heard about little misters hospital stay.W hat a rough time they have all had.We had big mister staying with us and he was good as gold but you could tell he was getting homesick.It was so cute the way he pushed the kittens around in a stroller and read them stories.He loves my kittens.My kids enjoyed having him there and wondered if we could keep him.I didn't think that his parents would go for that so we gave him back.They all seem to be doing better now though.I have a client coming in the morning so I have been up cleaning and making sure everything is in order.It is kind of late but I wanted to post a few recipes that we really like.Oatmeal is something that is affordable and healthy and good to replace wheat in a lot of things as a lot of people are allergic to wheat.Summer is especially wheat allergy provoking as the fatty acids that the sun burns up in our bodies causes wheat sensitivities.So it is a good time to eat our oats,although if you are low in iron it is not good for you.Get your iron up first.I forgot to mention but I cut my hair and it is the shortest I have ever gone.I am still in a bit of shock and getting used to it.But I wanted to get rid of the dry hair that I HAD FROM A FOOLISH BLEACH JOB i DID IN an attempt to go red.BAD IDEA.Black is the only color for me.
