I Smell Trouble

The rains have stopped our pool preparations.  The children can barely contain themselves.  I mean how cruel is it to spend a week prepping for a pool, a whole day watching them install it and then not be able to swim?  It’s practically torture.

I looked up torture in Wikipedia and it says, “Torture has been prohibited by the UN.”  Please don’t tell the UN that our kids haven’t been in our pool yet.

On the flip side…the rains have made the grass grow which means we’ll be mowing all day tomorrow.  Wait a minute.  That’s not the flip side.  I think that’s the same side.  Uh-oh.  Things are getting worse.

While we’re on the subject of this pool causing trouble….I have just noticed that we may have a laundry situation.  I am already overrun with swimsuits and cover-ups and we haven’t even used them yet!  Why do kids think something has to be washed every.  time.  you.  wear.  it?

Haven’t they noticed that the washer and dryer are already running 22 hours a day?  I am going to have to come up with a strategy and quick.

I hope we can get in the pool tomorrow.  If not, it’s going to be a loooong day of misery.

  1. That starts with T and that rhymes with P and that stands for POOL!

    That is torturous. And you’ve described my summer woe for laundry: swimming. Egad, the towels! Leave them outside and they get stiff or rained on. We can’t seem to remember our hooks on the back door. ‘Course there are only four of them. What.ever.

    I’m thrilled for your family though.

  2. How fun to have a pool!! Our boys always wanted one when they were growing up but we lived out in the country- desert really with lots of dirt blowing around so never did jump on the bandwagon! Know you will enjoy it immensely!!

    Thanks for coming by and saying hi!! Always nice to meet another Christian Sis in Christ!!

  3. Two of my friends are married to brothers and their mother in law tell stories about when her boys were young (she has three boys a year apart each) they lived on the lake and in the morning they would get up put on their swimsuit and she would send them out the door and lock it. She served lunch on the porch and dinner also, when it was dark they were able to come back in and showered and hung their swimsuit out on the porch the next morning it started all over again, also towels were hung out on the porch and only washed once a week. This is was her plan to keep her house clean and not do laundry over the summer, I think she is a very smart lady, she is also the same lady that says God didn’t give her a smokin hot body because he didn’t want her to be tempted to dress badly, just a little extra info so you can get a good idea of what a funny lady she is.

    I love that you got a pool can’t wait to hear how much joy it brings to your family.

    God Bless,
