...half met

Went to the pool twice today. First time was at 11:00am til 2:00pm with my son, he did remarkably well, though the water was freezing. He didn't go in much and since it was cold to me, I didn't force him. Sat around in my day of the dead skullz bikini got some sun (a little too much even with sunscreen) had a fairly good time. While I would not call my mood during this expedition "confident" I wasn't so completely self conscious that it detracted from my day. I say hooray for me.

Then my awesome husband came home from work and decided me should go back to the pool. By this time my sunburn was really making itself known and I was hesitant. So I put on my turquoise sand dollar bikini anyway and accompany him and our minion to the pool. I brave taking the towel from my tender shoulders and jump in the pool to play with my guys. Well, I slide in anyway and stand against the wall watching my guys frolic. Then a little girl around 6-7 years old comes up to me. Guess where this is going? The brutal unabashed honesty of children....
"Why is your baby screaming, can't he swim?" -strange little girl
"He's cold, he'll stop in a minute"-me
"What's wrong with your stomach?"- strange little girl
"I had a baby"-me
"Does that happen to everyone when they have a baby?" -strange little girl
"not everyone but some." -me
"I feel really bad for you." -strange little girl
"uh, thanks" -me

wow. pity from a strange little girl, my life is complete. sigh.

so my confidence is not where it should be, and therefore i cannot mark off that goal as met, yet. I'll get there. got a great start on my summer tan, all my burns turn to tan, I'm fortunate that way, yay for having a Spanish grandfather. i usually burn the first time i go out to the pool and the rest of the summer is all tans.

little one has a little bit of a burn too and his tan is already better than mine. we both used his baby SPF 50 lotion. go figure. overcast day

also saw a small silver/grey frog on the ladder, i thought it was cool, Trevor thought smacking it off into the water would be cooler. luckily the frog was smarter and suctioned itself to the wall instead. then some moronic teen-aged girls started screeching at it and splashing it. i told them to stop but i left before knowing if they'd listen.

and how was YOUR day?
