I’ve now been staring at this blank post for about ten minutes and can’t think of a single thing to write. No, scratch that. I can’t think of a single thing I want to write right now. I’ve got plenty of ideas for awesome posts, but they all require thought and research and my brain is just too tired tonight. That’s what three years of sleep deprivation will do to you. Chad proved tonight that my brain is too tired to even do grade-school-level subtraction, so it’s definitely too worn out to write a well-thought-out post (especially about stuff like rv financing). Which is why I’m rambling right now instead of telling you about what we did yesterday.
A few weeks ago, I found out that our MOMS Club was going to have a swimming “field trip” and I instantly wrote it off as something I wasn’t crazy enough to do. But cabin fever does strange things to your head and a few days ago I actually started considering it. After much debate back and forth in my head, I finally decided to suck it up and just go. I’m not saying I wasn’t nervous though…trying to watch a two-year-old and one-year-old in a pool and keep everyone’s head above water? Not for the weak or faint-of-heart!
It turned out way better than I thought it would, though. Even without a nap, Ava behaved really well and didn’t have any meltdowns. Kelvin wanted me to hold him for the first 45 minutes or so, but after that he had a blast and even walked out in the water until he was neck-deep (it started at zero-depth). They both had a lot of fun on the slides and luckily, I only had to go down one slide to get Kelvin to see how much fun they were! And since we were with friends, if I couldn’t see Ava behind a slide or something, someone was always there to tell me that they could see her and she was fine.
We all ended up being really glad we went and it was a huge boost to my mom-confidence to realize that I can take both kids swimming by myself!

Sounds like a lot of fun! We have an aquatic center just down the road from us and I have often contemplated taking the kids there. I have taken them to the public pool during the summer before and they always seen to love it.
I’m glad you all had a good time. It’s great to find some different activities to break up the winter “indoor” months!
