Well first of all I lost another 4 and a half pounds! That puts me up to 9.7 over the course of 12 days.  I’m so excited. That really makes all of this worth it, I tell you.  So lots of stuff happened at school today.  I had a great day today, and most of that is because it was one of my days off.  I’m finally back to a normal schedule where I actually have days off and am able to get stuff done, and I’ll be able to look forward to that every three days.  YAY!  So Ryan did not come to work with me for the most part of the day because he did a lot of errands.  So I got to work and did prayer group and was shocked that my principal actually came to it today!  So anyway, I had 5th grade morning checkout today and everything with that went well.  I had to use the phone to call and get a hair appointment and make another phone call, and then came back in and checked some e-mails, etc. and had a cup of coffee, then it was time to go to Reading Block.  So I went and helped out Ms. Head.  Came back in and got a call from Ryan about my ring and had about thirty minutes absorbed with me looking online for loose stones since the stone fell out of my ring and we have to replace it with one stone…they will not replace the smaller one because they said it would continue falling out.  So we’re going to be buying a loose diamond, so I was looking for those and generally upset and not able to concentrate because of it.  So then I had my lunch and got my materials ready for my 2nd grade class, which I had next and read my nonfiction Whales book to.  I had fourth grade after that, and we finished our worksheet.  After 2nd grade came I called and made arrangements for us to get voting booths for our Young Reader’s Choice awards.  That will not happen until much later, but we had to get on a waiting list so that we’d get one.  Then Ryan showed up, and I told him what I’d been doing all day.  Then I cleaned up all of the area around me and got my desk ready and wrote my lesson plans for next week, then went and turned them in to my principal.  I also labeled books that were young reader’s choice nominees last year with some stickers I had gotten.  I will have another day off tomorrow and will spend most of that day shelving, putting in our new books, and organizing our book shelves.  We’ve GOT to weed some books because we are just running out of room on our shelves, and I just ordered MORE new books.  Anyway, when I got home I did the Wii Fit for 18 minutes.  That’s pretty good for me considering it’s beginning activity for me.  That’s when I found out I had lost 4.5 more pounds.  I’m excited about that.  The diet is paying off!  I’m going to get my hair cut on Saturday and am getting quite a bit cut.  I’m not sure HOW much, but I know I’m getting a good deal cut.  I want something different and I want it to have a little bit more swing to it, you know?  I think it’ll look good, but I’m nervous.

Anyway I’m blabbering.  I’m going to relax. Will write more tomorrow.
