Vacances.... Day 1

We have survived.

One day down, only about 80 more to go. I need to get myself in shape. Currently I tire out like a 4 year old. It's not that the kids are running around too much and I can't keep up. It was me that suggested the mile long walk to the local park. We took Cinnamon with us. The goal was to check the hours and rules for the community pool. Hours we could find but no other rules. Hmmm family swim is at 3:00pm. Ok.. That might be doable.

I got the kids home. Fed them their lunch. Got them grudgingly to do a bare minimum of chores with a bare minimum of moaning and groaning. And we were ready to go.

I decided that I was not going to swim today since I am apparently regressing.. I am not 39 but instead 6 and I have an ear infection. Water is tres mauvais for Maman today. We get to the pool and find that the list of the rules that I couldn't find were really quite important. Since Maman is not wearing a bathing suit, she can't enter the pool enclosure. And worse... because it is FAMILY swim, no Maman equals no filles. Zut!

After talking the filles down, they finally recognized that is was just very bad luck and we can try again tomorrow. That means that I have to go through this whole deal again! I am NOT used to this much fresh air. I am going to end in bed asleep by 7:30. Where do these enfants get their energy? I need some to keep up with them!
