Today has been absolutely exhausting!  I got to run to Sam's by myself this morning to pick up a few essentials while D stayed around with the kids before heading into the office.  I love being able to buy two pounds of organic strawberries for just under $5!  What a steal!  Afterwards we were going to meet N's friend Cole and his mom and baby sister for a pool playdate and picnic. 

So there I am at my mother-in-law's pool and I had just unloaded the car with all of our gear and I see the lifeguard gal taping a sign to the front gate that reads, "Sorry, pool closed".  I was like, "WTF?" After asking her what the heck was going on she politely told me that they had found poop in the pool so they were going to have to flush the entire pool out with chlorine and wouldn't be able to open back up for at least two hours!  So I quickly called Ang who was on her way and we made Plan B:  head on over to our neighborhood pool (a.k.a., the ghetto pool because it has no waterslide!) instead.  So, I quickly ran back to the house and picked up our pool key and a few other pool toys since I figured the boys would be bored seeing as there was no slide to keep them occupied.

We arrived at our 'hood pool and unloaded and the boys wasted no time literally jumping right into the water for a swim.  After Ang, Cole, and Olivia arrived, we just hung out, had lunch and snacks, and enjoyed the sun.  I didn't even think about my email or computer ONCE!  (Okay, maybe just once or twice)  We left the pool at about 3 p.m. and came straight home for naps.  I finally got a moment to sit at my computer and check email, etc.  when it hit me that I am so unbelievably tired!  I am going to a workshop tonight that I am very excited about so I know I must get my energy back but for now I am enjoying looking at my arms which look fabulous sans the "farmer tan", as my sister would call it.  And, my thighs now match the color of the rest of my legs – no more bermuda-shorts tan.
