Especially now that school is back in session!

The kids have had their first full week of school since it started back up. They’ll be ready for a break. Ha-ha. Mama has a chore list a mile long awaiting them. Okay, it’s not that bad, but I have some things I, too, want them to help me with out at the pool. It’s funny to me how eager and joyful they are about getting into the pool at the start of summer, but how quickly they get bored with it. I’m still out there every day, scooping up leaves, watching the chlorine, brushing the surfaces… Yeah, I’ll guilt them into helping sometime this weekend.

But, I know, their lives are just so hard, getting up early, doing homework…interacting with their friends… So hard.

Just wait until they’re juggling part-time jobs, too, like their college-girl older sister who is also on the dance team and an officer in her sorority. She’s had to maintain a high grade point average to hold onto scholarships. Now, that girl has learned how to hustle.

Anyways, I don’t really have anything to talk about. I’ve already finished up one editing gig this morning. I have another to wrap up this evening. Then I intend to take a break and watch some Asian reels—that is, after I hit the pool. The water temperature is already dropping. Give it a couple of weeks, and I’ll be gasping as I force myself to dip my toes in.
