Inconsistency

Seems to be a pattern.... can one have a pattern of inconsistency?

In the past few weeks, I've managed to:
- have a rat die in my wall. complete and utter misery. no joke.
- be annoyed by my health-kick, protein-powder drinking hubby.
- attempt to get back into the gym routine myself. slowly picking up my pace
- buy a George Forman grill which cooks great and all, but is a pain in my ass to scrub clean.
- take my baby swimming whenever I can, and it's lots of fun.
- attempt to save money, with no luck. but that's about to get serious.

the 'big pool'

I joined my neighborhood's private pool for the summer. Today, I took Drake for the first time. It took about 25 minutes of sitting on the steps for him to warm up, but soon he was in my arms splashing around. It was so fun! It was refreshing, being a new experience for him. He's never been in a pool larger than his medium sized baby pool with a built-in slide. I was afraid it'd take days or weeks for him to brave the deep, but he eased right on in today.
I'm really proud. :) The next step is to get him to put on his swimmies. He thinks they're kind of weird right now, and I can't blame him. ha.

I know, weird. Scary. But when you have a night to be act like a teenager again, you get desperate to stay awake.
