The girls stayed busy this morning playing and watching tv on and off. Scott is very busy with the pool deck. He’s been out there all day. Emma is begging me to play with her and keeps asking what time it is. We’re on countdown until 4.
Lexi and I went out at lunch to the jewelry store to get my ring sized but it is closed on Mondays so I guess we’ll have to go back out tomorrow. We stopped at Subway to have a Mommy-daughter lunch but Lexi didn’t eat a single thing and I packed up halfway through my sandwich and ate the rest at home.
We got in the pool when I got home. It felt great. We got Emma some new goggles that cover her nose and she now will hold her breath, put her head under water and let me pull her around to look at the bottom of the pool. She has made so much progress even in the 4-5 times we’ve been in the pool just this year. Lexi is still a ham jumping from the steps and today she was leaned back and kicking a bunch. I tried to show her how to do the backstroke and she was trying to move her arms but it’s hard with all the swimmies on her arms.
I’m planning to go to the gym this afternoon. Scott is supposed to help D get their dog over to Scott’s grandmother’s house, where they’re moving in this weekend and D is helping Scott move my old bedroom furniture over here. We’re putting that in Emma’s room and putting Emma’s dresser in Lexi’s room to replace her dresser/changing table that’s in there now.
In looking back at my old journals, I’ve realized I could care less that I went to the mall on Setp 13, 1991. What I really have enjoyed reading is how I felt, what struggles I had, who my friends were, things I wanted, what dreams I had. And I have a tendency to document more of what I did today kind of mentality than anything else so I’m planning to come up with something that will help me document that even if it’s just once in awhile.
