It was a hot sunny day on Saturday and the pool looked inviting, even if the water was slighty cold. I thought about how five years ago we would have been lying on our pool lounges under the umbrella having breakfast or morning tea and reading the newspaper. We would be thinking about what movie to see in the afternoon and where we were going for dinner.
Oh well, now we have three beautiful children who have us up from 5:30am. We have done the food shopping by 9am. Friends have dropped in for a swim by 11am. By 12am we are think about packing them all off for a nap and having one ourselves.
P.S. The pool lounges were broken a couple of years ago, the sun hardens the plastic and makes it brittle. So we don't have anywhere to lie down and read the paper anymore anyway.
