What never fails me in life

Did you celebrate hump day properly? I know I did. The hubby and I even watched a movie last night "Going the Distance" which celebrated the dry hump. Just reading the words takes you back, doesn't it? Maybe your memories of dry humps of yesteryear brings up images of backseats of cars or the floor of your parents living room - whatever the memory, I hope it puts a smile on your face today.

This evening I plan on taking my kids to the pool. The oldest, a 4-year old, has discovered the love of the diving board. Last week just he and I went to the pool and we started with me in the diving well, catching him when he jumped. Then he grew ballsy enough to jump in on his own with me remaining in the diving well nearby. Eventually he took to running down the diving board and leaping into the water fearlessly and only slightly angry when he would over rotate and belly flop into the pool. God bless water wings. Do you know how tiring it is to tread water in a diving well, catching a 30 pound weight and then pulling it to the side of the pool over and over again? Of course my sweet little boy wouldn't stand to not share his fun with me as he forced me off the board several times. Now, I was a regular at the swimming pool growing up, but was never big on the diving board. I could dive and even manage a back flip, but this was not a common practice for me. I probably hadn't jumped off a diving board in nearly a decade when I gave into my little boy's face and agreed to go off the board. Sometimes if feels like there is little I can truly count on in life, but one thing I know that will never fail me....is looking like an asshole when I jump off a diving board.
