I’m getting picture crazy

I thought I’d post some pictures from today… we bought a pool from Wal mart. I WISH we’d bought the 24 foot one, but Jerry bought the 18 foot one, it’ll have to do…. Jerry’s hope is that he makes enough money in the next two weeks that we just have an inground pool put in.  I am going to get the LARGEST pool I can.  That would be nice, though I can no longer hold my breath or put my life on hold waiting for the money to start rolling in…however, SOMETHING has to happen soon, or I AM going to have to go get a job, which is not a thought I cherish… I love staying home.  Well, here’s a picture of Sammi and Jerry… this was cuter, but of course by the time I got the camera, Sammi had changed positions… it was still cute, but not AS cute.  LOL  She had been all cuddled up to him, sort of "encased" in his arms, cheek to cheek.  Oh well, at least I got SOMETHING.  This was this morning.

Okay, here are some pictures from the pool. We went to Costco, they were sold out…Sam’s Club had them, same as the Wal mart pools of course, and only 15 dollars cheaper, Jerry decided not to spend the 40 dollars on the membership fee to get the cheaper pool. Sam’s Club in our area is nothing to write home about.  So we went to Wal mart.  I stayed in the truck, but Sammi was just CRYING, so I took her out of her car seat, which made her a lot happier… then I just got bored.  I mean, Jerry was taking forever, so I went into Wal mart.  I must have JUST missed him, as he went outside through the garden center.  He’d already bought the pool, and the one I wanted, the 24 foot one, was 700 dollars… no way.  Sigh.
So here’s Sammi in the pool… she LOVED it.  She sometimes cries when you put her in the bath, but she loved the pool.  We were filling it, so it was a good level for her.  I wonder how she’ll feel about it tomorrow?  I’m MISSING my pool at the Galt house, sigh… inground, small but fine for doing laps and playing around in… the next pool will be one of the largest ones we can find… we’ve got PLENTY of room in the backyard.  Whoops, not posting that picture, it’s turned sideways…let’s see, what else?  Ah…one of Shabree on Sammi’s floaty.  That’ll work.
Okay, here’s one of Sammi that’s right. Becca and Sammi:  And finally, Sydni: Oh, and the dog playing fetch with Jerry:  Well, that’s enough for tonight. I think I will head off to bed, and look, it’s only 12:15! Maybe I won’t sleep til noon tomorrow, that would be REALLY good. Sammi got to bed at 9:30 tonight, so MAYBE she’ll sleep a couple more hours…she’s only sleeping about 5 hours at a time, IF she’s had food in her bottle, or recently ate with us, and only at night. If no food, or down for a nap, it’s 2 hours at the most. I don’t know whether to worry about her or not. She seems fine…she doesn’t get cranky, she’s a happy baby, even when sleep deprived. When she’s over-tired but can’t sleep because the environment is too stimulating, she just gets to where she won’t sit still, won’t be held… her normal "thing" but worse…then she’ll start to zone out, but she has to be REALLY tired to go to sleep in a stimulating environment, and at most, she’ll sleep 30-45 minutes, no longer. I’ve seen that proven time and time again. She can easily stay up 6 hours at a time, then sleep 30 minutes. I have NO idea why or how she does it, I couldn’t. Well, that’s enough for now.  Good night.  I’ll see about getting pictures IN the pool tomorrow w/ the waterproof camera.
