Ouch.
OUCH!
I was able to lay out at one of our local pools today.
The Littles were with me-
but they were too busy to pay attention to me-
so I just stretched out
for a long time
uninterrupted
and
I got burned
on my calves.
and the back of my ankles!
WHO THE HECK burns their ankles????
Me. That's who.
I remember how much I used to love going to the pool- to see boys.
We would take our makeup and redo it after every
break.
and we always made sure our hair looked just right.
And we would strut around and giggle
and make unnecessary trips to the bathroom-
just so we could walk by
Johnny Peterson (I loved that blonde haired, blue eyed, tanned lifeguard)
WHAT THE HECK happened????
Cause now I go to the pool - to take the boys.
I redo their sunscreen after every break.
I could give a rat's patootie about my hair
Now I strut around and wiggle
I make many necessary trips to the bathroom
and I am now old enough to
be the mom of all the "johnny Petersons" in the lifeguard chairs.......waa.
Before I went on my trip there were these cute little
20 something moms sitting on the edge of the pool.
They were tanned and thin and they had their freshly
manicured toes dangling in the cool water
- and I am sure they were not nice
people- I could tell by how cute they were.
Guess what? I was right!
One of them had the nerve to ask these sweet little children to
move their little splashy splashy game farther down so they wouldn't get wet.
WHO THE HECK comes to the pool to NOT get wet?!??!?!
I, for one, was not going to stand there and watch this- the nerve!!!
So I said boys, "You know what to do!"
OPERATION CANNONBALL!!!!
One right after the other-
right next to them...
they soaked 'em....and I laughed and laughed-
out loud-
what are they gonna do???
Moving on to our favorite Eagle Fam:
HOW THE HECK have they gone this long without seeing the camera??
I think we are B.U.S.T.E.D!!!
I haven't seen Daddy in a few days.
We (the MR and I ) think he has a mistress.
(but for the record, these three look nothing like him.......ahem...I didn't know the Eagle world was
so tawdry!! )
A little closer to home...
WHO THE HECK could say no to this face????
Look at the Littlest Little's plate- he obviously can!
I have to either quit giving this pup so much people food or
I have to start exercsing with him...
(I'll give you three seconds to figure out which one is going to happen....
sorry, Truman- no more peeps food for you!!)
But one thing I cannot say no to,
is when he tells me it is time to get off the computer and head to a cuddle spot...
hahahahahahah CANNONBALL!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!! YOu go girl! =)
ReplyDeleteTruman and my Juno would be great pals, I think! She looks a lot Truman, except she is white. And her fur is now very very short (like so short its bald in some places because I clip her myself).
ReplyDeleteSorry about your ankles, but good job with the cannonballs!
Haha! I laughed out loud, too!

You are too funny! I would hang out at the pool with you any time! Those mean girls just don't know how much fun they would have with someone like you. Oh...and tell your boys they can cannonball me anytime! I might cannonball them back.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh!

Your littlest little is so adorable. I wouldn't be able to resist cuddling with him either! I am laughing my ~you know what~ off over here about the cannonball story! I can't stand pretentious people like that. Like you said, why bother going to a pool!

Oh, you crack me up. Also, yeah, if you're sitting by a pool, you're gonna get wet. You deserve it! Glad you and your boys took care of that :)

Hi Staci:
ReplyDeleteMy teenage beach trips and pool visits were all about baby oil and Sun-In (to bleach our hair!).
Which, in hindsight, may explain why the mascara never stayed on for long--and ended up looking more like the "paint" football players put under their eyes!
Truman is adorable... and cannonballs were ingenious!
Happy Summer!
