Happy Birthday To Me!

Well, I had a great birthday! A nice 4 day weekend too! I had to work on Friday. That was absolutely horrid! No revenue what so ever and the day seemed to last forever!
I forgot to mention, last week, I started to go to the Y with the kids and hubby brought it to my attention I have been leaving practically every night now that he's back. I felt really bad cause he was right. He wasn't mad, just making an observation. So I decided to stay home. I was tired anyway. And now Mary is here and I don't feel like doing anything! :) I called myself giving him some down time though. No kids. House to himself. But maybe that's the last thing he wants.
Anyway, Saturday was nice. Slept in a bit late. It was Cici's birthday. On Friday night, I gave her a 50.00 GC (from the Xmas party @ Southwest airlines for the Seabee families) I had been hanging on to. We stopped at Game Stop so she could spend it. She got a kit for her DSi that includes screen protectors and new styluses and she picked out a video game that came out recently but she has been asking about for months. Hubby had sent home the Dragon Ball Z movie for her while he was deployed, along with a Japanese version of the Dragon Ball Z cartoon and a Naruto DVD. She loves that anime stuff. I also got her a new journal. We ordered pizza for her bday and all watched Ninja Assassin together- her choice. We couldn't get a sitter over the weekend to take her anywhere.
Sunday was nice. Hubby and I went and bought a new mattress- pillow top to go with the new bedroom set we have coming. I am excited about how our house will hopefully look eventually! :) Mostly spent the day hanging out.
Monday, we went when the girls got out of school and saw Shrek in 3D. It was really funny. I liked it and the girls did too. I think Cici had an OK birthday. She said she couldn't get any friends to do anything with her. I asked her several times for the last couple months what she wanted to do since L had her party. But she never got it together. I am really concerned about her. I know she has a couple of friends she talks about but she also gets picked on. And she's such a pretty girl. I think it hampers her learning. I am trying to control her eating habits too. She gets down or nervous and eats! She's the only person I've ever heard of gaining weight once they got into braces!

Tuesday was my big day! After I got up and got all the kids off to school, came back home and went to sleep with hubby til 10:30 AM. That was nice! We got up and went to Walmart and look around. We are debating on getting an above ground pool for the kids for the summer. Which means totally revamping the yard as well as being able to afford upkeep... new filters and chlorine stuff. We are still deciding. Hubby actually walked around with me and looked at sheets and clothes and stuff without one complaint! He normally can't stand being in the store that long. From there we went to the nail place and got pedicures together. He was cracking me up saying he hoped nobody saw him there. A lady told him he was more of a man than those who didn't want to get their feet rubbed. He's so funny! When they did the bottoms of his feet, he laughed! Who knew he was ticklish there! LOL! After that we went to Studio Movie Grill and saw MacGruber. Super cheesy but pretty funny.

My mom baked me a cake and I went by to pick it up. I hope she is OK... Can't worry about her relationship problems right now... All in all, I had a pretty good birthday. 36 greeted me pretty nice... Let's just see if it keeps up the good work...
