Weekend Warrior



Hi Sweet Friends

I didn't exactly mean to take a blog break
But I've been sick and
Just didn't have the energy to blog at night

I'm hopefully on the mend
But now my little man cub is sick - Yuck!!

It seemed that on Thursday
When I had the pleasure
Of hanging out with all three of my K's
They didn't really enjoy their swimming adventure


Ummm...Yeah
The pool has been empty for a month or two
It wasn't really my plan
But getting sick wasn't really my plan either
So...


What bit of energy I have had
Has gone to cleaning and maintenance work
On all of the pool equipment


Which included replacing a few of the
In ground cleaning jets


Sweeping and Vacuuming the bottom of the pool


Dodging water jets
While making sure every bit of dirt
Sand, rocks and leaves were OUT


Then, before I could fill the pool
I needed to replace the hose nozzle
It was so very old and worn
That I ended up soaked when I just
Wanted to water a few plants


It was fairly simple
And I'm glad it is done
No more spraying myself in the face


One more thing I needed to get done
I'll spare you all of the ugly details


It took longer than I had hoped
I guess I was more than tired
But it is done as well
And for that
I am Grateful
Because


I Truly wanted to enjoy THIS today


It was great to have the kids and grands
Over for a few hours to
PLAY

Hard Word definitely
Deserves PLAY


I do pray you have enjoyed your Memorial Day Weekend
Even in the midst of work and play
It has been my honor to take time
To stop and pray
To thank and remember
Those who have selflessly
Risked and Given their lives
For our freedom
May we Never Forget the Sacrifices so many have given

Blessings

  6. At my age, if I had a pool I would hire a pool man (preferably handsome!).

  7. I wish I had my own private pool. We have one in the subdivision, but it would be better if it was in my own backyard! It looks like it was a lot of work to get yours up and running for the summer, but well worth it. Sorry that you've been sick. I hope that you're feeling better now.
