~ Diving In ~

Temps have been in the high 80's - 90's... humidity off and on.  Guess where I've been?  Ohh yeah, at my parents by the pool, and they thought I moved out!  LOL  Stopping on my way home from work and taking a dip has helped beat the heat.  I'm not the only one that has been there either.  Only thing wrong with stopping.....   by the time I finally get home I'm exhausted.  Up before 6 am, out the door before 8 am, and then not home again until after 9 pm makes d one tired girl.  I don't feel it as it's happening, but damn, I've been in bed awful early these days.  Bill.. you'd be proud.  LOL 

 

                

 

The last two days have been spent teaching Gage and 'Bug' to dive.  Lots of belly flops, but in the end Gage had great success and finally mastered the art.  He's now moved on to doing flips.  Bug on the other hand, has no fear but is still trying to get it.  She has had success, but more often then not she....

well you'll get the picture.  She hasn't given up though.

 

                

 

With all the visiting and swimming I found myself a bit behind on the tag requests.  I know I have a few to get out yet, and I will get to them.  Promise!   Last night I tried to visit journals but AOL was acting up big time.  I couldn't get journals to open.  They appeared to be open but not one thing was there.  The first couple attempts on one journal had me worried.  I thought AOL ate the entire thing.  Entry link, journal link, and the link in my favorites all produced the same thing.  NOTHING!  Oh wait.... I get the freakin ad and nothing else!!  The next was the same, and then the next.  GRRRRRRRR  definitely a glitch...  I was too tired to fight it so I just logged off and went to bed.  I will be by tho... 

 

I'm taking a half day today.  Once again it will be in the  90's.. they are warning us again on the air quality.  No worries, my suit is still at my parent's from last night and I will be there in time for lunch.  Oh they joy, eh?  Not only do they get to feed me dinner, today they get lunch too.  LMAO!!  Good thing they love me :)

 

I hope everyone is having a great week and finding a way to beat the heat in your neck of the woods. 

 

Hugs

Those were cute videos. I'm laughing and kinda scared at the thought of you saying your parents thought you moved out. It gives me flashes of my kids you mean they're never going away...
Take care, Chrissie

What a great way to spend your days!  It has been so hot!  I have been bottled up inside since yesterday morning.  I had to have oral surgery yesterday and I slept most of the day away.  Today I just feel beat up and bruised.  So I am sitting inside again.  Hope you have a great weekend.  Linda

Sounds wonderful.  I've been helping my daughter with a yard sale and boy it's hot out there.  Wish I had a pool to jump into.  The kids are good little diver's and swimmer's.  That's really good.  Enjoy your afternoon off.
Hugs, Joyce

Donna, love the pool shots. Pool time sure makes one want to hit the sack and really get a good nights sleep. Admit it you feel better when you get eight hours.
Been trying to get my grandchildren to dive. Really working on it but no results yets. Would like to have, with your permission, the one of Gage. He dives like I am trying to teach.
How old are Gage and Bug. I have an eight and a six year old I am working with.
Remember the winter snows and cold? Bill

It's hot here too, very hot.  But I am not going out anyway.  I am quarenteened in here with John, LOL.  If he stays in, I will stay in to give the guy something to do, LOL.  He must have been holed up in the house for a week right now...
So anyway, sounds like you are having much needed fun with family.  Much needed time off to just fool around.  Well you go for it, girl!

I hate to ask this question, but how are bug & Gage related to you?  I haven't been reading your journal long ~ so I need to know who everyone is. LOL  I really enjoyed watching them dive.  I watched them both twice.  Enjoy your time by the pool.

 The pool looks wonderful and I would be a frequent guest also.   I can't believe Bug is old enough to be diving already, time flys.

Yes, tis true, cold and windy over here.  Temperatures very low for July and a day of rain forecast for tomorrow.  Wish you could send us some of your sunshine.  Worst summer we have had in a long while.
