The Weekend...

We had a very busy weekend. I'm pooped from it. Saturday Hubster decided that we were going to have a Forced Family Fun Day. He told everybody to get in the car and to be quiet. He was taking us on a day trip. We drove for an hour and a half only to not do what we had set out to do. The lines were to long, and we all didn't want to have to wait. We ended up eating at Cheddars. I love that place. I do believe that might be one of my favorite restaurants. We finally made it home, and then Hubster and I went on a date. We went and saw Fast Five. I loved it. I can watch Vin Diesel though in just about anything. There was lots of eye candy on the screen. After that we went to eat at Red Lobster because I had a $25 giftcard that I got for Mother's Day from my Secret Sister at church. Date night ended up not costing us a whole bunch.

Sunday we went to church, and then we came home. We took the kids to see Kung Fu Panda 2. Loved it. BG fell asleep, but the other 4 (including Hubster) really liked it. It was really cute, and I liked it better than the first movie. After the movie we decided to go to a hotel for the night. I took the kids swimming, and by the end of the night I felt like the biggest loser. KG threw up because she swallowed water. I caught her before she puked in the pool, but I wouldn't let her go swimming any more. She had puke all over her swimsuit. I figured others wouldn't want her swimming in the pool after that. BG decide that she was going to pee on the side of the deck. At least it wasn't in the pool. This was on top of her getting stuck in the hot tub, and I was trying to get to her. As I got ready to hop out of the pool, my bathing suit bottom fell down. I don't think anybody saw it, but it was embarrassin. Another lady got to her first and grabbed her. I guess it is time for a new swimsuit. I didn't realize how big it was.

We didn't do much today. Hubster had to work until noon. I went grocery shopping, and Hubster took KB to get a Samsung tablet that he found on Craiglist for $50. Overall it was a great weekend. I'm going to be busy the next two weeks as I start to get ready for my surgery coming up on the 9th. I'm going to get highlights on Tuesday, and I have pre-op on Wednesday. Should be a fun filled week.

Where has May gone...

I can't believe it is just about over. The kids are out of school. The boys start football strength training next Monday. I can't believe it. Before we blink the summer will be over. I still don't know where the time has gone.

I'm not in a "talkative" mood. I don't know what is wrong with me. I feel like the weight of the world is sitting on my shoulders, and it worries me. I'm just waiting for that other shoe to drop. I guess you can say that I'm anxious, and I have no idea why. I hate living like this.

There is so much I want to do. There is so much I want to accomplish, and I feel like I'm in a holding pattern. I just need to take the bull by the horns, so to speak, and get done what I need to get done.

I can't believe how fast May is flying by...

I'm shocked. We have been so busy that it is craziness around my house. TB has 7th grade orientation tomorrow. It is a parent's optional type of thing. I asked him if he would be okay with me going, and he promptly replied...NO! He told me he wouldn't acknowledge me being there. I knew this before I asked, but I so enjoy needling the boy. The boys started spring football, and so far they both love it. They have 2 weeks of practice before summer. Then they have a week off. This summer they will have conditioning and weights that are "optional" all summer. We also found out they will be gone for a week the first week of August for football camp. The place they go to school sends them to a camp. It is covered in the fees that we have to pay. They are looking forward to it. I'm ready for the school year to be over. We have 7 more school days left. Next week is going to be extra busy around here. This Friday they have the talent show at school, and of course, KB is in it. Just what I want to do. Wednesday is awards. Thursday is field day, and Friday is the last day of school. I can't wait.

Hubster got great news yesterday. He finally, after 5 tests, advanced to CE1. There were only 9 Navy wide that advanced. He is sitting in a rate that has little to no advancement in it right now. He was so happy. He was 4 points away last test cycle, so he knew he was close. He didn't even know about it until somebody called him to congratulate him. He was like a school boy. Guess that cemented his decision to just stay where he is at right now and reenlist for another 3 years. He should be signing paperwork this drill weekend.

On a happy note about me, I finally have hit goal number 2 in my weight loss. I'm also at the point where my amount lost is bigger than my amount left to lose. It is a great big deal, and I can't believe that I'm finally there. Anybody that has struggled with their weight know how hard it is to lose, and I have a lot to lose. My clothes are getting way to big. I'm going to have to break down and buy me some new ones. The thing I have noticed is that I want cute clothes now. I used to not care. I just wanted something that is comfortable. I haven't been able to work out since my gallbladder surgery. I tried to work out on Monday, and I've regretted it since. My incision site hurts.
