I’ve pulled a muscle in my back. I really need to start exercising. So as I lie in bed trying not to aggravate the injury, enjoy some pictures of our weekend at a friend’s pool.
You’d never know she was having a good time with all the whining. But she can always stop to smile for the camera.
Manchild finally got in the water. This was his first time in a pool. Up to this point, he couldn’t stand for his clothes to be wet.
Jumpshot enjoyed diving for coins with James. And he finally worked through his fear and canon-balled in the deep end.
Isn’t this the life? Manchild especially enjoyed the float, and Diva loved pushing him around (literally and figuratively). She’s my girl!

Over the weekend, I tackled the chore that stresses me out the most – cleaning the fish tank. I traumatized one of the fish the last time I cleaned out the tank, and it took him almost a week to recover. I worried about him constantly, and I just didn’t think I could handle it again.
Our two Bettas live harmoniously in a small tank with a divider. Swimmy-Blue-Fin (his name changes a lot) would spend a lot of time flaring at Bubbles, who began flaring back. James thought this was too stressful for the fish, and he suggested separate tanks for them.
It so happens that I had two clear plastic boxes that I got as a kind of party favor at the last all-day crop. I had a feeling they would make perfect homes for our pets. Wouldn’t you know, it worked out tremendously. The transfer went very smoothly, and no signs of trauma. I think they like their new homes. What a relief!

I have been trying to follow Fly Lady for a little while now. I’m attempting to replace my bad habits and ineffective routines with good habits and effective routines. It is a constant struggle for me.
An important tool Fly Lady gives us is the Control Journal. I started mine, but I haven’t been able to get farther than the 
first step. So in an effort to motivate myself, I made a pretty cover for my journal.
Let’s hope it gives me the jumpstart I need.

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a mother. God blessed me with three wonderful children, who keep me going. My husband and I have been married for almost 12 years, and he’s my best friend.
