Food Diary

Yesterday was an arduous day!  I had a dentist appointment at 9:30 am; that is very early.  Making it to the dentist at 9:30 means I need to leave the house at around 8 to drop off Logan at daycare and then to drop off Kira at my mom's house.  We ended up leaving at 8:30 instead of 8, and I arrived at the dentist office at 9:45.  It didn't help that I woke up several times in the early morning thanks to the heat and humidity.  We could leave our AC on all night, but doing that makes me feel wasteful.

Before we left for the dentist, Kira had 8 oz of milk.  I took along with us some sliced peaches, one slice of cheese and about 1/2 cup of cheerios.  Usually, Kira is pretty good about eating her breakfast, but since she was at my mom's house, she was too distracted to eat.  She would eat the peaches or the cheese.  So my mom scrambled an egg for her, and she took a few small bites of that.  She did eat all of the cheerios though.

For lunch she had left over chicken fingers from dinner at the Cheesecake Factory on Monday.  Heating up old chicken fingers in the microwave is tricky.  After they cool down a bit, they are very tough and chewy.  Maybe I should steam them next time.

For dinner she had one chicken drumstick and about 1/3 cup of white rice.  I offered her grilled zucchini and roasted sweet potatoes, but she kept spitting them out.  She also had 4 oz of pear juice.

Yesterday was not a good veggie day.

On a random note: I was totally beat up yesterday.  I had a cleaning at the dentist last week.  He noticed that one of my teeth were chipped, probably due to a grinding habit.  He said they should fill in the chip before it becomes a cavity.  So that's what we did yesterday.  Is it possible he was too rough on my mouth?  After the numbness went away I felt this awful pain in my jaw.  It was tender to the touch and I had a hard time opening my mouth wide enough to put food in.  I went to bed at 10 pm and woke up today t 8.  Unbelievably, I'm still tired, and my jaw still hurts.
