Is this God's way of punishing me for not listening to my husband? Back in January I decided that we needed a pool. Not the huge built in kind, just a smallish metal frame pool for the backyard. I thought it was a great idea, something for Allison to do, fun for the grandbaby in a year or two...but it has not turned out that way! whenever I mentioned a pool, my husband would hand his head and shake it. It wasn't a right out no but I knew what he was thinking. We put the pool up and it rained. This caused the legs of the pool to sink in the mud about 2 inches which made the pool bow out at the bottom...but then the cows got in the yard and made three tiny little tears on the side of the pool (who knew cows were so fond of the taste of plastic?) I called the pool company, we were about 10 days of warranty (it sat in the box for 60 of the 90 day warranty period.) We decided to empty the pool and start over. After the pool was totally empty, it was already almost dark that night, so I though we could reset it up the next afternoon. The wind blew and the pool flew!!! Nothing wrong with it but we had to wait another day to reinstall it. And that night the pool flew again! Still, no visible damange to the metal or plastic. Last night was finally got it all set up again, put the new patches andstarted filling it with water. It looks nice. The bottom is smoother, the sides are straighter. Except for that little leak somewhere ON THE BOTTOM that we can't readily find. It seemed to have stopped leading during the night. Hubby says it is just because the water pressure is off. I didn't think there was that much water lost out of the pool.
So am I being punished?
My sister blogs here too. Well, she's not really my sister but we've kind of adopted each other. She doesn't have a sister and I don't have a sister and we both need a sister so it was a logical conclusion. For two people born of totally different parents, we sure are the same, in many ways. We are not depressed, we are bitchy. I've been on Lipitor for around 10 years. I can tell the difference when I am on it and when I am not. She's tried Wellbutrin on and off several times and hasn't been able to see a difference. I pray that she finds the right drug, for just the internal peace. Now, I know the drugs don't always work because yesterday (when we were doing the pool thing) I could have committed murder, but today seems much better.
Other ways that we are the same: 3 kids, a husband gone on business trips or on weekends (for various reasons, working or playing) but a truly blessed life. We are both kind of over weight, (to put it mildly,) educated, smart, beautiful...
