I have always wanted to blog....
I have always wanted to do an online Blog. Not sure if it is my need to share things about myself for no particular reason, or to get things off my chest so they don't get too big for me to handle.

I have two children, J and B. They are wonderfully crazy people that I get to spend each day with. Currently, they are both in swim lessons, which has been a great adventure. The swim lessons are everyday. So just before lunch, we get ready and drive to the pool for the 1/2 an hour lesson. Now, J is 6, and I can definately tell some learning is going on in his class. B is 3, and her class is mostly playing, but she is having great fun, which at 3, is the main point.

We only have two swimming lessons left, which is good and bad. Bad because they look foreward to them everyday, so I will need to replace them with another activity, and good because I am wearing of sitting in the humid indoor pool area, hemmed in by all the other parents that are there waiting for thier kids. I must say, it is not a pool designed for spectators. But I cannot in good conscience leave them to instructors I do not know. And B is only 3, and wants to know that I am there watching, she doesn't look for me, but after the lesson, we go through all the things she did. She is quite far away, but I get the general gist, and that seems to satisfy her. J is a bit overconfident, and thus I worry he will think is can swim and take off, so I feel I must stay and keep an eye on both of them.
