I am in a good mood today. I don’t know if that’s really noteworthy, but I wrote it down, so there you go. I am even enjoying the heat and the sun.

Incongruously, I want to sit in a dark room and listen to very moody music.

I had a great long weekend. I took off Friday afternoon, and I packed up Floyd and drove down to hang out with my family (I know, shocker, right?). It was a weekend filled with sun and booze and sleepovers and hot dogs and deviled eggs. So, you know, perfection – well, except for my dumbass brother deciding that it’s TOTALLY COOL to bring loud-ass people back to your mom’s house to party at 3 AM, while everyone else is trying to sleep. Fucktard!

Ahem.

Billy and mom and I did take the kids swimming on Sunday. They have the most awesome pools at the local rec: an adult pool, and a kiddie pool with an umbrella/mushroom that streams water like a shower, and a sort of play-area with jets of water coming up from the ground, and down from a twirly sprinkler thing, and out of a turtle’s mouth, and out of some buckets. It was a lot of fun.

I spent quite a bit of my time floating around with Owen and/or Kailyne in my arms. They clung to my neck and torso like little monkeys. I got Owen to go under once. When I wasn’t playing Mama Monkey, I swam with Malachai. It wasn’t too long ago that HE was clinging to my neck, but now he’s beating me in swimming races! (OK, I let him win, but it would have been close a few times anyway, I think).

I miss swimming. I was a little mermaid when I was a kid, and I don’t go swimming enough now. It’s really good exercise… I wish there was a pool around that wasn’t constantly filled with little kids (sorry, little kids, but you bug me).

I also miss the Sahlen’s Hot Dogs I ate all Sunday and Monday. I should buy some for myself at home, have myself a little pic-a-nic.

By the way, I found out Floyd likes donuts.

I love swimming too. I had such a blast playing volleyball in the pool at my parent’s and it was such good exercise that you don’t realize you’re getting while it’s happening, until you’re sore later on that night. But even if you’re sore, you still go in the pool the next day and all is good.
