This has been a very busy week!

Wednesday I took Cici and Elliebear to the dentist. Still trying to work on Cici getting her oral hygiene with her braces perfected. Ugh. She goes to the Orthodontist on Feb 1. Then Wed evening, I stayed after school with Elliebear for one of their rehearsals. She had to stay after Thursday as well to practice for the talent show.
Classes have started. So far so good. Hubby and I have been going on Tues and Thurs nights to Chemistry. The professor is taking it slow and that is a good thing. All this info about electrons and protons, etc. is kind of throwing me for a loop already. Just have to stick to it.
I finished the essay and submitted my application for the military spouse scholarship I was applying for. I am hoping that I will get it and begin using it this summer or fall. Fingers are crossed... we shall see!
Work is a nightmare. The rumor mill is spreading that we may have our office closed due to attendance problems. Nobody wants to go to work because the mandatory overtime and back to back calls are killer! And mind you, we are a retention office so the customers we talk to most of the time are complaining about their services, their bills, etc. It's just such a mental beat down everyday.
The kids are doing well. Elliebear sang 2 solos and a song with 2 of her friends on Friday night at the sixth grade talent show. She sang "I Caught Myself" by Paramore, "Be the One" by the Ting Tings and the song with her friends was "Love Song" by Taylor Swift. Cici, Bruiser and Princess went with me and hubby stayed home with the twins. It was a 3 hour show and would have been too much for the twins I think. After the show, hubby and I went to the movies and saw "The Rite" with Anthony Hopkins. It was pretty good. About what you would expect for a movie about exorcism.
Let me also mention the weather has been beautiful all weekend! The 70s in January! Saturday we went to my good friend's daughter's 6th birthday party. She went all out on the party. 150.00 cake and a company called Noah's Arc came out and the kids (19 of them all together) stuffed their own animals (similar to build a bear workshop) and picked out outfits for them. They put sound boxes and wishing stars inside. It was really sweet. Even Bubba, being the only boy there, enjoyed himself. It was so nice for Shannon to invite them. Her only daughter, Riley, had a brain tumor removed around this time last year. Shannon felt that she deserved an extra special (and expensive!) birthday to celebrate her surviving her ordeal. She's such a sweet little girl. Bubba and Pinky picked out monkeys. Bruiser picked a giraffe and Princess picked a penguin.
Today is homework and laundry day. Then back to the grind tomorrow.I have been a bit emotional. I think it's cause I may be slightly overwhelmed. I am glad the talent show is over. I am glad I finished that essay. Now I have to help Princess and Ellie figure out what they will do for the science fair, in less than 3 weeks. UGH. Hubby is still tackling the household duties (except laundry) and trying to concentrate on a history class, an English class and a Philosophy class. Whew! More power to you honey!
More good news. I have decided to go to the Seabee Ball. I have until March 12th but I am steadily getting more excited. I found a beautiful yellow dress. It's floor length with crystal and silver beading on the chest. I found silver shoes with crystal beading and the most perfect purse which matches perfectly. All silver with crystal beading as well. I just have to get my hair done before hand, get the tickets and find a few accessories like earrings and undergarments. I feel like I will look like a princess.
Back to work for me!
