Teetering Teetering
Edie has been recovering from a cold lately, and in the cutest froggy voice/snotty nose has been making her discomfort known. It's not the greatest time for Edie to be putting the terrible into 2, with the waking up and shouting at 4am and such, as Betsy is even more pregnant than she was yesterday. Just in case, we've schedule a pediatrician appointment for E to make sure nothing else is causing her frustration.
After dropping Edie off, checked into McD's for breakfast, I was hungry and couldn't go home and just needed to destress for a minute. Amazing how my parent's bringing me there as a kid has imprinted this on me.
Got laundry, cooking, some light housecleaning done while Mrs. B slept off the night before. I went to vote, kinda annoyed for seven spots there were....7 people running, all Democrats except for one, who was running as both a dem AND a Republican. I'm a strong believer in our civic responsibility to always vote no matter what, but this kinda pushed my patience. Went out to dinner with a knish-friend.
TODAY'S COOKING
Baked Ziti: Comfort food, not from a fast food joint. Followed Batali's recipe loosely. 2 lbs of mini ziti, 4 cups of sauce outta the freezer, 4 cups of besciamella cooked up on the spot, 2 lbs of moz ($17, the only 'expensive' part of this huge sheet of food), a head of basil plucked and torn right off the plant, topped off with whole wheat panko bread crumbs. Forgot the romano, oh well.
AM SNACK: 7:30am, iced green tea
BREAKFAST: 9am, sausage mcmuffin, hashbrown, diet coke
LUNCH: 12:15pm, baked ziti, half a kasha knish, green salad, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
PM SNACK: 5pm, 2 wholewheat waffles, peanuts & chocolate chips, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
DINNER: 8pm, bulgogi, kimchi pajun, water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
EVENING SNACK: 10pm, a handful of girlscout cookies, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5

Teetering Still
Lifted weights after delivering Edie, and got a good smoothie in right after -- it's said that weight lifiting is potentially more effective, if you eat right after.
AM SNACK: 7:30am, iced green tea
BREAKFAST: 9:30am, smoothie, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
Banana, milk, good yogurt, cherry, blueberry, mango, peach, flax, vanilla, salt. Purty good. Enough to make 4 mini frozen pops for Edles.
LUNCH: 12:45pm, 2 small ham & swiss knishes, popcorn, pint of grenadine soda, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
DINNER: 6pm, frozen pizza, large green salad, cookies, 1.75 bowl, hunger 4/5
Comfort.

Existential Pain
A difficult day entertaining a toddler who decided to act on the "terrible" in "terrible twos", while B needed to sleep and keep her belly intact for now. Edie is experiencing the existential pain of only being able to be in a single place at once -- she can not both be at home and out side on the swings at the same time, and she's letting her displeasure at this fact be known.
Eventually I got her out to the swings via a shared slice of pizza, and B was up enough to let me tune out in the evening. Any day now.
BREAKFAST: 8am, good yogurt with honey, vanilla and peanuts, iced green tea, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
NOON SNACK: 12pm, spinach knish, a few spoonfuls of peanut butter, a little jerky, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
AFTERNOON SNACK: 3pm, most of one slice of streetza, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
DINNER: 6pm, shrimp with broc, pork fried rice, wonton soup, egg roll, 6 small donuts, 1.75 bowl, hunger 4/5
