Breakfast of Champions

So far I've had 6 pts out of the 25 I'm allowed for the day (I'm including 5 flex pts in my daily allowance). I had a bagel and cream cheese. It was yummy - cinnamon raisin bagel and strawberry cream cheese! - but I feel like it wasn't worth 6 pts. I definitely need to go out and get me some Egg Beaters so I can have that with cheese and toast every morning. That combo has 5-6 pts and is more filling. It's amazing how fast the points go! Instead of getting my usual iced coffee from McD's today, I'll just get a small regular coffee from SBux and will go light on the cream and sugar. I think we're going out for dinner, but I'll stick with soup and salad or a bunless burger and side salad, since I know those are usually the safest bets when the restaurant values aren't listed on dwlz.com.

I got my statement of deficiency...IL wants to see proof of the certificate I taught on in FL from 04-06. The kicker? I don't have it! I taught on a temporary and discarded it when I got my professional in 06, right before I moved to IL. I am going to fax a request for verification from the FL DOE later today. They are so much easier to work with than IL! I just hope this is the last step. I hope that once I provide this documentation, I finally get my professional certificate from IL. Then I can FINALLY add my ESL endorsement to it! This process has taken 3+ years...ridiculous.

I just dyed my hair. I used the kind that comes out after 28 shampoos. I wanted a darker, cooler shade, to tone down the red in my hair from the last dye job. The plan for today is to fax that info to the FL DOE, get coffee at B&N and read for a while, get kitty litter from Walmart, get my eyebrows waxed, and clean up around the house before Matt gets home. I had a lot more on my list, but I know I won't get to it all today.

I really think I want a tattoo...something to memorialize what I've been through recently. I never want to forget. I want to remember what I lost, so I'll always treasure what I do have and never take anything for granted. I also don't want to forget about the baby that brought me such happiness, if only for a short period of time. I like these ideas...either a little footprint or a crescent moon (me) with a star (baby). What do you guys think??




Ok, that's enough for now. I need to go dry and straighten my hair so I don't scare the people at the copy center!!
