Yay! When I was younger I loved spring. All the new flowers, the breezes that were warmer than the still air…
But for the past few years I’m totally into summer. Heat and humidity - mmm hmm! Last summer for the first time I really got our money’s worth out of our ridiculously expensive pool membership. I even went when I didn’t have to have a kid there for a swim lesson. I even jumped in and swam around myself! I even took a water aerobics class or two!
This summer I have plans. I’m going to take more water aerobics classes. I’m going to read books instead of just pretend to read books while I wonder what that clique over there could possibly have to talk about every day for three months. Maybe I’ll even go over there and ask them what they possibly could be talking about. I’m going to drag my kids along whether they want to be there or not. I’m not going to yell at them to swim instead of playing wall ball or looking at Pokemon cards. I’m going to use my guest passes!
They say Sunday & Monday will be sunny with temps in the 80s. Maybe for the first time ever I’ll head to the pool on opening weekend, plop myself down in a chair, and stake my space for the next three months.
It may be my last chance to just wallow freely in the summer heat.
You only PRETENDED to read there? That’s my main reason for going to the pool–an excuse to read novel after novel all summer long. Forget the fact that for the past couple of years I could have just been dropping Emily off there.
Cool!! Be sure to blog all the fun that you’ve had for the day. We’ll live through you!
