Pool Time

Ok so Mrs. Jo gets a call today from a good friend of ours, Mrs. D-Lo. She tells Mrs. Jo that she has some dancing shoes for Rose. Then she asks if we would be interested in a pool, for free. It turns out earlier this year Mrs. D-Lo's brother got rid of his pool and gave it to them. Their new one was an upgrade so of course they took it. Then they thought maybe we would like their old one. Now while on the phone with Mrs. D-Lo, Mrs. Jo tells her she has to talk to me about it and she would give her a call back if we wanted it. So when Mrs. Jo gets off the phone she tells me to go get it.....Wait didn't she just say, "we had to talk about it"?!

So while on my way to pick it up, yes of course their was no arguement do I have stupid written on my head....NO COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY!!! Back to the story. I realize we are going to need sand and chlorine. And then I find out I need a tarp also..$$$$ So much for a "FREE" pool. Still I guess it will be worth it. I get the pool all loaded up at MR. and Mrs. D-LO's house and head home thinking about all the work I have ahead of me to get this pool ready to swim.

So after Mrs. Jo comes home from getting sand and chlorine, she preceeds to show the rest of the pool supplies..... You know swim rings, tubes, and beach balls, all the normal stuff. She was upset because she couldn't find a raft, tell you the truth so was I. I just can't wait to come home from work and get my suit on. Then just lay on the raft....but that day will probably never happen since as soon as I get in so will Rose and Robert! There goes the peace and quiet.

Well now the sand is here so I can get started with the setup of this pool. I start by inflating the ring. Next I layout the sand which Robert helped me with. Ok really he just played in the sand that I spread out. Gee thanx for the help....Mrs. Jo had left at this point to go take Rose to her Nana's to sleep over. Yep she left to do all this on my own....just the way I wanted it because her and me do not work well together. I am a very anal person when it comes to do work and when people do not do it. The way I want it done. Then I get a weeee bit angry. Thats why its better that I work alone at home. She tries to help at times at it usually and in her being mad at me for yelling at her.
As I type this the pool is starting to fill with water. It probably won't be done tonight. Hopefully tomorrow when I get home from work, Mrs. Jo will have everything done...LOL!
Well I guess I should gety back at it. Well until next time heres to wet times and plenty of sun!!
