Pool Update

Electric done. Salt in, pump and rest of the system working. Ben and Gabe assumed their positions at Ben's bedroom window to watch the progress. This weekend we watched the water turn from mucky Poltergeist looking pool, to salty foam, to crystal clear. Only a small problem. It is very easy to explain to 2 excited boys why they can't swim in dirty water but it is much more difficult to tell them no when it is 9 million degrees outside and they are staring at clear water. Sunday afternoon, we finally caved and let them swim "illegally" for 30 minutes.
This weeks plans....to survive
I am pretty certain I have strep throat, just need test Monday
Kevin has an extremely busy week, which means he will not be able to make split decisions about the pool.
They plan on finishing this week- cement, sprinkler system, pool shed built on site, sod, fence, automatic cover,, slide, basketball hoop,inspection.
SERIOUSLY!!!??????
My Plan- Find the perfect position on the couch where I can see the backyard, but not hear it.
Get medication- all sorts to help me feel better.
Get a GIANT ice filled Sprite from the BP and place it beside me
Place phone, bell (to call the boys), and remote close by.
Pray for the best
