Day Three, on to Veggies

Last night my throat finally got so bad I couldn’t sleep and felt terrible in the morning. It was burning and closed up so I figured, I finally got a virus!  I made an appointment while Sam was in school and Griffin and I went in.  My favorite nurse, Bernadine, was able to see me and just gave me a prescription for Amoxicillin and didn’t do a throat culture. It was getting late and I had to pick up Sam.

Poor Griffin was really freaking out the whole morning. He’s either teething or getting what I have.  Probably both.  He currently has the two bottom front teeth and two waaaaay back-there teeth, maybe they are molars? Then he has four teeth on top. So he has a ways to go.  The two teeth on either side in front on the bottom are just bulging, so it will probably be soon.

Taking Amoxicillin, Bernadine reminded me that I should take it on a full stomach.  Oops! My third day of the clear liquid diet, what was I to do?  Well, since my tummy was still a little messed up, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to eat some veggies and move on. I did make it two and a half days, that was pretty darn good!

Plus, it seemed that when I would have chicken broth, it would upset me a bit.  The grease in that soup does not look pretty, let me tell you.  So it was nice to cook a huge plate of veggies and have it in place of the soup tonight.  Also, the Sprite seemed to bug me.  Which is odd because I’m drinking Gatorade with no problems and that has tons of sugar in it.  I really don’t get it.

Of course, the kids had pizza…

Will power, I has it. (For today at least!)

After a quick trip to Henry’s this morning, I ended up roasting/baking sweet potato chunks, a half of a white russet potato, asparagus, and mushrooms.  I covered them in a bit of olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and oregano. Then I steamed fresh green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash with more olive oil, salt and pepper.

Voila!

It turned out pretty good! I’m not a fan of sweet potatoes though so only ate one or two of the frys. The regular potato was ok but I’m more of a fan when it’s slathered in butter, sour cream, cheese, and bacon. 🙂 The rest was pretty good.

I wish I could search tonight on other ways to make veggies.  Anyone have any good ideas? Maybe tomorrow I’ll sauté some mushrooms, onions, and garlic on the stove and try and use that as more of a sauce?? I have no idea. I think I’ve only ‘sautéed’ once in my life, I am so not a good! I really wish my Internet worked tonight to research it! Thanks Time Warner…
The veggies were good though, it’s making me hungry again. I want MORE!

It did not help that I took the kids to Golden Spoon since it was Thursday.  My MIL usually comes over on Thursday but she had to work tonight and lately we have been going for ice cream.  Since it was just me with them, I said WHY NOT! I brought my orange Gatorade and had some sugarless gum to tide me over.  I’m now munching on some orange jello. MMMmmm, jello.

The kids are so cute. I usually ask for a mini only half full for Sam and the girl did a full mini! So she took the top off and put it into another cup. I had her put sprinkles on both and Sam had her treat and Griffin got his.  He finished a lot quicker than she did so he was walking around until she decided to offer him a spoonful.  Then he got a spoon and then it was her turn.  It was so cute, she is so sweet to her brother.

I have made an appointment with the food allergist.  That should help matters.  It really started right when I got pregnant with Griffin.  Those darn hormones can really screw with you! Tomorrow I don’t know what I will have for breakfast.  I have been having about 25oz of water in the morning and then switching to Gatorade. I might do that and try to last until lunch.  Then maybe a nice leafy salad with carrots and cucumber with some olive oil and lemon juice.  The dressing doesn’t sound nice but after not eating for three days, I’m sure I will love it!

Finally, Time Warner got their act together. Woohoo, Internet!
