Monday's Dont Suck and Tuesdays Aren't Half Bad

I had an incredible weekend. It was a very busy one so I didn't get a chance to expound on it.


Friday was about the best day ever. I had a nice peaceful day and a pretty rambunctious evening. The massage, my first ever, was amazing. I was offered a membership to come monthly at cost, but I don't want to add any other autodrafts to my budget of any kind. No contracts, etc. The dinner that evening was delicious. Ate at a place downtown I'd never been to before. Some of the Seabee wives are pretty wild. I like to cut loose, but I guess because I haven't done it in so long and don't have any friends that I go out with on a regular basis, it was different. But all in all, the relaxing morning and the good food and laughs and kid free evening was awesome.

Saturday was the Princess's birthday. I did some cleaning in the AM. Got a lot done. The kids all played outside. Weather was nice. I took a solo trip out to the base. Stopped at our FRG fundraiser and bought a t-shirt saying I support my troops. It's red... can wear it on Union Thursday. Got Princess the DVD "Planet 51" and 2 really cute outfits. Both pants off clearance rack under 4 bucks and 2 regular priced shirts but they are adorable. I had already picked her up on previous trips there 2 gowns with Disney Princesses on them, another outfit and an adorable pink and brown dress. She was happy with her gifts. We went to McDonald's to play and get apple pies that evening. I bought her a huge cake to take to take to daycare and there was some left over. Just enough for us to have a decent sized slice at home and for her to reblow out her candles. So glad I didn't have to bake or buy another cake for that!

Sunday, brother in law texted me and asked if he could come put together the kid's bikes. (Princess and Bruiser got them for Xmas and I decided to regift them for birthdays since the weather is nice enough to ride them now). He came over and put them together in the driveway and boy are they enjoy them! Bruiser is having a hard time steering her radio flyer, but she'll catch on quickly. Princess is gonzo! The weather was so beautiful, I ended up raking 11 bags of leaves.

Now for the current blog to match the title...

Work was decent on Monday. My manager is totally being an ass about sales. I still don't understand how we are a retention office and expected to get these ridiculous numbers. We had our training rescheduled for west coast calls next week. They realized they didn't need 10 hour days so the two remaining classes are going to be Tues- Fri 8-5. In a way I am glad because I don't have to put the daycare out or anyone else to accommodate my schedule. But on the other hand, I am ticked that the first class got such a nice paycheck... We are getting screwed on that one. Oh well. I didn't have any horrible customers. I was in really good spirits the whole day. It was a nice Monday for once. It was also the first day of spring break. Woo Hoo! (for the kids anyway)

I had a carry over vacation day for Tuesday. So I cleaned the kids room and put together, finally, the new crib I got for Pinky to match Bubba's. It took me all afternoon to get that done. But it's so nice and clean now. Well worth it. I tossed lots of stuff today. I got to skype with the hubby and got some info so I can halfway plan for his return home. C and L did a decent job I guess in helping so I took them to see Alice in Wonderland (2nd time for me) in 3D. They liked it. I liked it much more the 2nd time around and actually noticed some things I missed the first time. We tried fried pickles and they were really good.

Well, I still have lots of laundry and stuff to do. Rented Ninja Assassin. Gotta have my action flicks! Also got Igor for the kids. We never got to see that one. Will probably watch it with them this weekend. Made ribs for dinner in the oven. I actually went grocery shopping on base the other day too and came home and made a meal plan for the week. Enchiladas yesterday. Yummy! Hope I can stick to it. Eliminating fast food would so help my budget.

Thinking I want to sit down and set up a budget with hubby when he returns. We really have some stuff to take care of. Loving my hubby so much. So happy to see his smiling face today on the laptop but just jonesing to see it live and in the flesh! Let's hope tomorrow is as beautiful and productive as the past few have been.
