A good day, despite lack of sleep

Woke up late, as another night of sleepless children kept the household in chaos. We did manage to get out of the house by noon, training it up to midtown for  a nice walk through Central Park and a visit to the zoo. We got home by 4ish, and B left around 6:30 for a wedding party of a close friend while I stayed behind with the hottentots. Fortunately, my friend MAP very generously came over to babysquat, watch Sesame St and generally be cool while I kept a lid on the situation.

Lunch comprise of some horrible foods, but tried to make up for it with an easy, but nutritionally valid dinner.

TODAY'S COOKING:
Oatmeal: I had Betsy make the oatmeal while I held the baby, which made me make up measurements for the recipe: 1.5 cups water, .5 steel cut oats, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp butter, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Micro on high 8 minutes, stirring half way through. Surprisingly salty, should cut it back to 1/4 teaspoon.

AM SNACK: 9:30am, iced green tea


BREAKFAST: 10am, oatmeal, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5

LUNCH pt 1: 12:30pm, street dirty water dog, waffle with chocolate, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
In Central Park, pre-zoo. The dirty water dog was somehow exactly as I remember them and worse. Skinless hotdogs are kinda disgusting, compared to natural-casing dogs which have more snap, juice and flavor.


LUNCH pt 2: 2:45pm, small slice of pizza, french fries & ketchup, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
At the cafe at the Central Park Zoo. I never ate french fries with pizza until Edie decided french fries are a major food group, and Betsy decided pizza is good no matter where the source. Hrumph.

PM SNORT: 6pm, glass of hard cider

DINNER: 9:30pm, large green salad, 2 spinach knishes, 1 kasha knish, health salad, pickle, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5


EVENING SNACK: 10:30am, peanuts & chocolate chips, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
