Here we go again…

It’s official, Jarod has pnuemonia again. We spent the better part of the morning at the hospital waiting for a chest x-ray to confirm the doctor’s suspicion. He started a pretty powerful antobiotic that is already doing a number on his stomach.

The baby was throwing up yesterday ( all over my steps and himself ), so it looks like we are in for another round of sickness for everybody. Have I mentioned how tired of this I am? So Jarod will be out of school for the rest of the week, he has missed so much school this year, thank God he’s as smart as he is or he would be way behind. A friend’s bringing his homework for him this afternoon, I know it will be a huge stack….poor Jarod.

That’s about all that is going on here. I’m making myself a huge pot of split pea soup, there’s about 50 calories in a gallon of it, so I can eat as much of it as I want. It’s actually very healthy, equal amounts of protien, carbs, and fiber. I love it, especially with a lot of pepper.

I’m really hoping to see another 3 pound loss this week, I figured that if I can keep that up, I’ll have that 10 non-smoking pounds off by the end of the month. I really need to see a new loss in April, not the re-loss of weight re-gained. I bought myself a case of the flavored water I love from Wal-Mart, so I am officially hydrated.

Well I’m off to read some blogs and make Jello for Jarod.

    I LOVE split pea soup!  Gonna have to make some when we get to Massachusetts.  Hmm…gonna have to take my soup pot with me, too.

    I hope your baby’s doing better soon.  I know it hurts Mom having him sick all the time.

    And when you finally get your brood all well again, it will be time for you to take a much needed (and deserved) Mommie’s day off!!!

    So sorry to hear about your poor lil guy sick yet again!!

    Poor little guy - I hope his tummy feels better - isn’t it awful to watch little kids in pain? Hang in there supermom, those antibiotics should help him.

    I am glad you are really making a go at this - that soup sounds filling, and it’s good you are getting your water in - flavored, gaseous, whatever. Hope no one else comes down with it!

    Oh boy, when it rains, it pours!

    Erika, I am so sorry you and the family have been going through so much sickness!  Poor Jarod! 

    I sincerely hope you guys all get better soon!
