Two days of parties can be tiring for a 22 week pregnant lady.
Yesterday, 7/15/11, I had my Going Away Luncheon at the Cheesecake Factory and was I surprised to see over 35 people show up and take over tables. I really was only expecting 20 people. It seems I have alot of people that I've made a difference to or like they've told me...my smile and warm heart has made a great asset to the Navy. I even had people come from previous commands that I was stationed with and people who had retired/separated from the Navy. It was hard to hold back the tears and that means, next week is going to be even more tougher on me to say good-bye to some amazing shipmates. I even had my Senior Chief tearing up a bit. He doesn't really want me to leave. He wishes he could've worked with me longer. I think he was hoping I would change my mind at the last minute and re-enlist. I'm going to miss everyone I worked with in the Navy, but like I've told them before, I'll still around for a little awhile and they'll see me on base since I'll be a Navy dependent and not Active Duty anymore.
Then there was today, with my daughter, Alexia's 6th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Alexia had over 10 kids show up to her party and she received alot of gifts that we're still trying to sift through. Alexia had a blast with some of her classmates from her Kindergarten class and even got to meet another little boy the same age of her that I knew his Mom from when we were pregnant with our children together back in 2005. She even had Max there who has a big crush on her. All I can say is this pregnant Mama is beyond exhausted and needs a day of break...but it seems tomorrow will be a day of swimming in the new pool. Alexia is enjoying her summer and this Mama is enjoying watching her have an Amazing summer. Tomorrow may be a day of shopping at the Outlets or going to the Antique stores.
Maybe I'll get to sleep in tomorrow....but we shall see. LOL
XOXO,
