I can't believe it has been a month...

since my last post. Where has the time gone? We seem to be busy every weekend with something, and I know that when August rolls around it will be even worse. We will have 2 kids in football, and they will both have practice at 2 different locations.

What is going on at our house? KG is just about potty trained. She still won't poop in the toilet, but that is the only time she has accidents. Thankfully that is usually once a day, and she will come tell me as soon as she does it. TB and KB are enjoying their time off from school, but I think they may be ready to go back. I know that I am ready for them to go back. Hubster is working, and he calls it a job. I don't think he likes it all that much, but it pays the bills. He will do what he needs to do I guess. We are hoping that next summer he will be active duty, and we will be able to move. In my world, I was approved by the insurance company for lapband. I'm just waiting to hear from the doctor's office for my surgery date. I had my psych eval and nutritional counseling last Wednesday. They told me once that is done, they will set my pre-op date and surgery date. I'm looking forward to it. Still having terrible headaches. They are bad enough that I'm thinking about going back to the doctor. I had a headache for 2 solid weeks, and nothing was taking care of them. I had a massage today, and he told me that my muscles in my neck and shoulders were extremely tight and tense which could be causing the headaches. My doctor was thinking I was having muscle spasms. The massauses basically spent an hour working on my back, my neck, and my shoulders. I'm very sore tonight from the massage. I did come out of there without a headache though. I want my next massage to be more relaxing though.

Another dear Seabee wife contacted me today to go for a girl's day out in a few weeks. We haven't gotten to have a monthly meeting since March, so we are planning on a meeting on the 16th. I really am looking forward to it. The kids and I are going to go to another Seabee sister's house for a pool party this weekend. The guys have drill, so she invited a bunch of us over. I can't wait to see everybody again.

Hubster and I are doing pretty good. Still stressing about the bills, but that isn't new. We could use some more date nights, but I don't know how to arrange those. I hate asking any body to watch the kids, and I'm just not sure if my oldest is ready yet to man the home front for a few hours. I know that Hubster reads this, so maybe he will take the hint and plan an evening out. I know that I could use it.

I went and got a pedicure on Saturday, and that is usually my time. I ended up taking KG with me. She was crying wanting her toes pretty, and my mom and Hubster guilted me into taking her. She was the best thing in there. I got lots of compliments on how well behaved she was. Saturday was also Hubster's birthday, so we went to his favorite Mexican food place to eat supper. It helps that he worked for them a few years because we always get seated right away, and we are always treated so great there. They put us in a side room where 2 women were. While we were waiting on the check, my dad took all 4 kids outside. The women commented on how polite, how quiet, and how well behaved all of them were. She couldn't believe how well they all listened. That always makes me feel good because I know that I pretty much raised these kids by myself for 10 months, and that means I didn't screw them up to bad. WOO HOO!

I did finally talk Hubster into flying into Vegas in October for our trip to California. We are going to fly into Vegas on Tuesday night and rent a van. Then drive the 8 hours to where his family lives. Then on Monday we are going to drive back to Vegas to stay there for a couple of nights. He has never been, and we are going to take the kids to Hoover Dam. My SIL said that she would love to come with us to Vegas, and that she would stay with all 4 kids one night. That way Hubster and I could have a "date". I found some really good deals into Vegas in October. I think it should be fun. It is much better than driving all that way. That is for sure.
