It was a good day today. No headaches, so hooray for that. We went over to a good friend's house today and spent the day playing, which also included a walk through the 12 Mile Coulee natural park and a play at a playground! I drank lots of water today too. I forget how good I feel when I drink lots of water. Such simple things make such a huge difference.

What I ate:
breakfast - Millet Rice Oatbran with almond milk and sliced banana
mid-morning snack - Clif Peanut Toffee Buzz protien bar
lunch - hummous and veggies, a handful of rice chips
dinner - banana almond oatmeal with flax and sunflower seeds (apparently I'm having a banana-almond kinda day lol)
snack - a few slices of cheese, a couple slices of pickled beets (mmmmm)

I am fully aware that the protien bar today and the Skookum seed bar yesterday do have some sugar in them (brown rice syrup and evaporated cane juice), but it's a hell of a lot better than chocolate bars and ice cream. I am a big believer that natural sugars like brown rice syrup and other unrefined sugars are metabolized and utilized a lot more efficiently than refined white sugars. I should see if I can't make some sort of protien-y, seed bar for myself. I know I can, it just means finding a recipe and tweaking it...you know, in my spare time and all ;)

I really need to get cracking back at the books...I seem to have taken a hiatus the last few weeks with the exception of finishing a section in medical terminology. This May I will have been enrolled at MCU for 1 year and I should really have more to show for it than just Biology! Lucky for me, a good friend's Major Map is almost the same as mine and we're kind of working together on things. It sure makes this distance thing a lot easier, knowing that i'm not all alone or sooo behind everyone else I know doing the same program.

Last week we had an interview at the school that Nova may be going to next year. We had originally intended to unschool, but Nova feels very strongly about going to school and having that experience (and has told me as much in similar terms) so we decided to apply to the Calgary Waldorf School. I love the classroom and the philosophy and they seemed to love us. Now we just have to wait to hear. I have no idea what I will do if we don't get accepted, but I guess I'll deal with that when the time comes.

All three of my kids have gotten up now...I guess that's my cue to go to bed.
