Shew!  what a day!  after running around and not finding a bathing suit this morning the kids napped in the car and for about an hour at home after that.  When they woke I fed them lunch then we headed to kmart where I found a really cute bathing suit on sale then headed to pick up Caleb from school.  After stopping at home to get myself changed while the kids were tight in their carseats(instead of driving me nuts while at the Y while I changed)   we headed to check out the outdoor pool at the Y sicne we had never been before.   I was a little anxious about going to the pool w/ all three kids alone but it was a lot of fun.   bo is doing great swimming by himself w/ a life jacket on.  caleb is a great swimmer and Zeke loved just being held by me while getting wet.  We went there at 3 and Dean met us after he got off of work at 5.   We stayed til after 6 then came home for dinner.    I think caleb’s the only kid still awake, and I dont think Dean and I will be up for much longer, we’re both wiped out.  It’s been a very busy day for me, but I loved hanging out at the pool w/ the boys not to mention being out all day means the house stays clean so all I had to work on this evening was laundry, all those bathing suits and wet towels (from this afternoon and from when I went to the Y for swim class this morning)  so off to rest for me, I’m wiped out but it’s a good feeling, knowing I spent time having fun w/ my boys outside for hours without boring myself or feeling so bad I couldnt manage.

we turned our a/c on again last night, but again it wasnt really getting cold in the house.  so this evening when I got home and it’s still on but it’s 77 in the house , I went down to look at the a/c unit.  I couldnt see anything that looked or sounded wrong so the only thing I thought to do was check the filter.  it was so gross.  I had to pull it out in peices because it was so dirty and disgusting.  I replaced it with a new one and we’re hoping that’s all that was causing the problem.   It was really gross, i dont know how any air was getting through that nasty thing.    So pray it helps and that we dont have to have someone come out and check it or fix it.   if so it was a free fix, since the last owner left a few brand new filters.

anyway…off to a relaxing night w/ my hubby, if we have the energy to stay awake!
