...depends on my energy level.
My energy has been really low lately. Probably due to the bairns sucking the life out of me. I can't believe I'm only 25 weeks along. I feel like I did when I was 32 weeks along with Jack.
Speaking of Jack. He started daycare today. He did not want to go. He fussed, he wanted to "Stay home with Mama". It broke my heart. In fact I spent an hour after dropping him off crying at Gramma's house. He had a great day which I expected. In fact dropping him off really wasn't that hard. We sat at the playdough table for a little while and when I told him I was going to talk to the teacher and then go home; he gave me a kiss. I just feel like cwap (as Jack would say) for leaving him in daycare while I could be watching him myself. I know he is totally bored at home but it just feels weird to take him to daycare and stay home. I had a hard time settling down today to rest. I laid down for an hour and then I went out and worked on cleaning up the pool. I put some "Sun-In" in my hair and put a plastic chair in the pool (it had about a foot of water in it) and I used the pool vacuum in my general vicinity until my DH got home with Jack. Then DH moved my chair to another area so I could vacuum another area and he and Jack skimmed the top of the pool to get some of the debris out.
It's a lot of work to clean the pool and get it ready for use. Today was our second day at it and it's still not ready. It was filthy. The pool is huge; which is great because it's a lot of fun. But it's really hard to move it. It must weigh 400 pounds and I'm not exaggerating. It may weigh more than that. DH can't move it by himself. So last year it just sat out all winter gathering grime and dirt and leaves. It was worse to clean this year because last year it had been folded up so it wasn't as bad. I think this fall we will leave it lying out like we did last winter but we will put a huge tarp over it and secure the tarp with stakes or bricks so that no debris can get in. It's impossible to empty the pool all the way so whatever little bit of water is left will be scummy but that's easily taken care of with the pool chemicals. It will be nowhere near as nasty as it was this year. I'm looking forward to playing and soaking in the pool on hot days this summer. I know Jack is excited too. I just hope he won't have a problem in the cold water. He has had a problem with it in the past but he's getting older and I think he might be ok this year. Gramma is going to buy a cover for our pool that will hold the heat in. All we have to do is put the cover on after the pool has sat in the hot sun all day on a 90 degree day and it will be warm first thing the next time we get in.
Anyway, that's the excitement around here. I need to visit everyone's blogs, I haven't been online enough lately to check everyone out. That's my task for this week.
Ciao.

Hi Cassie, I did the same today I dropped Liam for 3h at child care and I went to the gym, then had a coffee at the coffee shop. While driving it felt weird to have an empty baby chair in the car. I want to keep checking on him LOL. He is also bored at home and enjoy the cc much so.
We had a pool once and it felt it's always half empty, the water needed topping up constantly.
What are Bairns?
I do that all the time..sending kids to daycare and go home for house cleaning and blogging..I need some time of my own while I can clean the house peacefully and enjoying what I do. The kids..they'll be fine. Just shut your eyes and enjoy yourself.
