Ready..VENT! What keeps you from getting to the pool?

Ready..VENT! What keeps you from getting to the pool? Me first. I am so bummed. Traffic was all jammed up because of an accident and oil spill on the expressway. It took me 2 hours and 10 minutes to get home. That's a 10 mile drive. I could have run faster if they let me take a straight line on the highway. I sat and peeled and ate an orange without even creeping forward. And not one of those tangelos or zipper peel kinds. Thank goodness I had snacks. I certainly didn't think to visit the ladies room before I left work. Normally even in the worst of traffic it's less than an hour. I couldn't even get off the highway because all the exits were jammed because the city was blocked up because people couldn't get on the highway. And I thought traffic was going to be wasy because of school vacation week. I work full time and go to school part time. That ate up all my swimming time for the evening. I went to work and left work early to get in some good pool time tonight. Blech. Your turn...NEXT!

  • Fort: I've talked to other parents and they all say the same thing, that two's fun, three's are terrible, and at four they get fun again. My wife and I aren't planning on any more kids so this is our only pass though this mess. I have a three-year old too. He is also near the top of the list of things that keep me from the pool (besides the distance that I mentioned earlier). When he throws himself around my leg and cries "Mommy, NOOOOOOO, don't go swimming. Don't leave," it makes it really hard to drag myself out the door. :shakeshead:
