Reasons I Want My OWN Pool

Ok Suzzanne--I know, especially with Sam, how dangerous a pool can be but just let me outline a few of the high points from our trips to the pool...

Reasons I don't like swimming at the Y:

1. Doodie--not mine, not Sam's, not even in a diaper. Other children's poop....in the pool. Well at least I am hoping it is a childs and not an adults. I know there are chemicals in the pool to "kill" germs but when you see a lifeguard scoop poo out of the pool it is kinda gross--especially knowing that Sam just swallowed a big mouthful!

2. Vomit--not mine, not Sam's...Even those would be gross. When kids swallow too much water they get those FANTASTIC burps that can only come from swallowing indigestible chemicals from the pool. Sometimes in fact they cause the child to vomit and most of the time it is just a little--but even a little is grody.

3. Open Wounds--not mine, not Sam's....We wouldn't go to the pool with open wounds ESPECIALLY not the size of the one we saw at the pool on Sunday. OK--I get it--you have 5 kids, the last 2 are twins that are 18 months old BUT this does NOT give you the right to bring them to the pool!!!!!!! Yes there are chemicals in the water to kill bacteria, viruses, funk and etc. But when I see a gaping, yes gaping, wound on an 18 month old and then I see it all white and red and open...it really makes me want to run screaming from the water like Jaws just attacked or I delivered Charlie in the pool. Not to mention--what is already floating around in the pool that might get in that wound and cause further damage?! YUCKAMUSSAGUSSA!

4. Last but not least is my own personal dilemma and not that it will last much longer BUT....I am getting a smidge rounder these days and I really can see "THAT" area anymore...well that just leaves shaving up the Gods and hopefully on the days when I do, the Gods are shining down on me--or should I say you. Not only am I as big as a house but I may or may not have a more then fuzzy bikini line--which can be very scary I have to admit. So that is my hang up....not that I wouldn't shave for my own pool, I would just be less concerned about the people who have to see me and all my cavewomaness!

OK--enough of the pool. But if you want to write a check--I will be taking donations--you can just make it out to me and I'll make sure it either goes to a good bikini wax or a good antibiotic!

Again, I have an excuse as to why my blog is lacking in posts....my computer was BACK at apple AGAIN to have the hard drive replaced along with a few other things! Don't know why...just cause it felt like it!

So--Sam had is first haircut over the weekend and my baby is officially gone. All those curls are now in a plastic bag, somewhere at the bottom of my purse. He is now a little boy. He did very well and I have to say it looked pretty easy. So next time it will be mommy's barber shop that he will visit b/c his first cut will be the last cut that we pay $16 for...yes $16 for all of 5 min...Now, I don't think that these ladies shouldn't get paid for what they are doing b/c God knows they have the patience of a nun but for 5 min and then we gave her a $4 tip?! I only felt that it was fair...she dealt with something I didn't want to attempt for the first time!

AND--believe it or not my computer died in the middle of this posting...I am on Amy's computer and I will update with pics when I get my computer BACK from MAC again.
