I just wanted to update everyone on our weekend. We really had a good time at the cheerleading banquet. It was the nicest one we have been to. It was held at a local country club and the food was typical buffet stuff, it was ok. The coaches put on a program about the graduating seniors of which my daughter is one. They showed some pictures of each one and said nice things about them. It was really nice because my daughter has only been with them one year. Not unusual I know , but it is hard to be accepted and included if you just joined. The price you pay for relocating.

On Saturday, we had a luau/pool party for my daughter's 18th birthday. It was really fun and the weather was good. Only half the kids she invited came, but they were all her really close friends. They jumped on the trampoline and swam. They hula hooped and ate. My husband barbequed hamburgers and hot dogs. It was a good day.

Monday I got a special treat. We had a cleaning crew come in and do some spring cleaning. It is still hard for me to vacuum and do heavy cleaning. I can load the dishwasher and stuff like that. I guess it was more of a treat for my family (they don't have to do it). But I feel like a queen in a clean house.

Well, I'm off to finish reading "the Secret".
