Over The Hump...

or at least it feels like it. I think my body is finally getting it. It finally knows what it is supposed to do. Last week was 4 pounds lost. This week was 2.5 pounds lost, and that was without exercising.

Saturday was BG's birthday party. She had so much fun. Two of my best friends came over with their kids. They had never met each other, and I'm glad that they finally did. I love them both so much. They each keep me laughing and on my toes. One of them has gone through the deployments with me, and the other one helped me through very bad PPD with KG. Which is actually how we became such good friends. Amazing how that through the roughest of times in your life, God puts somebody in your path to help you along. I'm still amazed at how I met Felecia. Who knew that sitting in an airport in L.A. would end up giving you one of your dearest friends in the world.

I go on Thursday to 3 appointments. Nita is going to come and watch the girls for me, so that way I don't have to drag them around with me. I have to have an ultrasound done so Dr. M. can see what is going on with my insides. Hopefully we can figure it out and get the problem corrected without to much hassle. I have a fill after seeing Dr. M. I'm sure that is going to be exciting.

We are less than 4 weeks until California vacation. Getting excited about seeing Hubster's family. At least we get to get out of our state for a while.

Friday night TB got to play over half the game. He was very excited afterwards, or at least as far as I could tell. You have to love 12 year olds, and their lovely attitudes. They won 76 to 41. I felt bad for the other team. They only had 6 players, and they were all small. Small as in the size of my 10 year old. Coach let his 2nd string play pretty much the entire game. Saturday it rained all morning, so KB's football game was pushed back an hour. He didn't get to play, but we went any way. His team won 36 to 0. They are now 4 and 0. He gets to start playing again today. He is very excited about it. We have to go and get him arm pads, and hopefully that will help protect his arm.

Nearly 2 weeks...

and nothing much of excitement happening in my life right now. Met up with some other Seabee Wives on Saturday for a Girl's Night Out. That was a riot. I love those 3. They kept me sane when others couldn't while Hubster was deployed. Saturday is KG's birthday party. That should be fun and exciting. She is a hoot.

KB got hurt at practice a week and a half ago. We spent 3 hours in the ER getting his arm x-rayed. Thankfully it wasn't broken. It was just sprained and bruised. He is out of football until next Monday. That makes him missing 2 games. They are still 3 and 0. They should win on Saturday also.

TB is starting to struggle in school. I don't know what his problem is. I get so tired and frustrated with dealing with it.

The girls are growing, growing, growing. We bought our airline tickets for California. I'm so glad that we don't have to drive it. That would have been a long drive.

Hubster is still working, but he has decided that he is going to talk to a recruiter sooner rather than later. I don't care what he does. As long as he enjoys doing it. I'm hoping to go back to school next semester. I think I have said that just about every semester. I really do mean it this time. I really need a job. Any body out there hiring?

Long Weekend

Friday was the very first game ever at the boys school. They have had a football team for a few years now, but they have never gotten to play at the school. They have always had to rent a field somewhere else. Friday night was the very first time that they got to play at home. They lost. Friday we also found out that Maddie, a 6 year old little girl with cancer, only has 2 to 12 months left. It breaks my heart for her family. She is such a sweet little thing. She was at the game Friday night. She is extremely tired from the chemo that they are doing to help with her pain. They are going to do it for 6 weeks only. The doctor told her parents to pray for a miracle, so that is what we are going to do. We are going to pray for a miracle. I do know that any thing is possible with God.

Saturday was BG's 2nd birthday. We are having her party on the 25th. I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to cook either enchiladas or lasagna. I need something that I can make the day before, and just shove it in the oven on the 25th. KB had his first football game, and they won.

Sunday we went and got the kids' new bedding. I love them all. They all seem to like it too. KG actually picked her bedding out. It is really cute.

Monday was just a day of cleaning. I still have more cleaning to do. I will get finished with it one of these days soon.

Gee Whiz...

I thought that losing weight would help with my blood pressure. That would be a nope. It has gone up, so I get to go to the doctor this afternoon. Oh joy. At least I get to weigh. I also found a knot on my shoulder that I need to have him check out. It hurts, so I don't think it is any thing major. It just hurts, and it bothers me. I didn't notice it until yesterday.

Not very much going on around here. Going to go sometime this weekend and get the kids new bedding. They all desperately need it. I want to get their rooms done, and then I hope to work on mine. I hate every thing in my room. Well, except for Hubster. I kind of like him. Hubster will actually have a 3 day weekend, so I think we are going to visit my new great-niece on Sunday after church. I need to find out about practice on Monday for the boys. That will determine just exactly what we are going to do. I'm just looking forward to relaxing. It seems to have been a long time, since we have gotten to do that.
