I'M ON SPRING BREAK VACATION!!!

The 69th birthday of the Seabees. The 2011 Seabee Ball. Wow. That was so much fun. I was able to make it to the salon on Saturday morning. A treat for me cause I always put my kids first on the weekends. I don't ask my husband to watch them for that long cause I know he is with them all week for the most part. I had an updo and it came out really nice. I went to the nail salon and got a manicure and pedicure and my eyebrows waxed. I was the only person there so it was all about me for like an hour and a half! Maybe that will change now that they are in daycare part time.
We headed out to the ball. My beautiful shoes were killing my feet, so I danced barefoot. They served a decent dinner. Made some really nice speaches. And most importantly, I got to see some of my Seabee sisters. I never would have imagined myself before marrying hubby going to balls and having a bond with such beautiful women like the one we have. Though a lot of us never talked about our deep down frustrations and tears to each other, it is just kind of known to me what the others were going through when our husbands were deployed. I will always love them. It was so nice to see them cutting loose WITH their husbands. I can't wait for the next one. It was such a good time. We did end up cancelling our hotel room reservation. But it's ok.
Let's just make a list for the rest again... When I have a lot on my mind like this and try to pound it out, there's already no organization and even though I'm on vacation. My time is limited... If that makes sense. There's so much I want to do!
1. My cycle came, just in time for the ball. Too funny! No worries about new little ones though. Just as I suspected... stress. I only worry because my last two pregnancies were accomplished while I was on birth control. So I am not a crazy lady... well, not because of that.
2. I finished an excellent book. It is called Life as We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer. I had lots of time to read at the salon. It was a really good story.
3. My Princess turned 6. I took her to the mall to get her ears pierced... it's what she wanted. We went out to eat at a Chinese buffet. It's what she wanted. She picked out a delicious chocolate cake from a local grocer. We came home and she opened her gifts. Books, a copy of Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 on DVD, a Cinderella dream carriage toy (which the parts are all over the house now) and her guitar. She doesn't like to use the pick. She has taken it out a couple times to pluck it. I want her to get used to it. Lessons start in about a month. I am overjoyed at her interest in a musical instrument. I hope she loves it and sticks to it. It's going to be some work but I think she will learn easily.
4. CiCi gets her braces off on April 5. I can't remember what she looks like without them! She is excited.
5. I finally understand how to balance a chemical formula!
6. Yesterday, to complete Princess' birthday wishes we went to see Rango. I think it is a bit mature for her after seeing it. But she and Bruiser liked the animation so I guess it was worth it. The movie was ok.
7. Friday night, hubby and I went to see Battle LA. What a great movie. Not like it will win an Oscar, it was just a really good movie.
I guess that's all I can think of for now. Oh, one last thing. My stepson called and asked if he could come spend the week with us...
