Put me in a pool...

I love pools. I like to lay next to the water, or in it, and sip a drink. When it comes to taking my kids, I get nervous. I hardly went last summer because Cam was so small and Buddha was 2 and 2 year olds make me nervous in a padded room. This summer is a new summer for me. Both of my kids are old enough to handle, and it gives me such an empowering sense of freedom. I can take them both to a public pool with little to no stress. I watch them like a hawk, but I'm not neurotically obsessing over what accidents could happen. They're having a blast and it's making me so happy to see it.

I have been pooling it all summer and loving it! If I don't get my own pool next summer, I will be purchasing my own swim badge instead of mooching off of my friends who have them.

I like this, I like it a lot. And I think Husband may need to get that vasectomy, because I feel like we have found our happy and balanced medium.
