\tKaitlyn may have to teach herself how to swim.<\/p>\n
\tTrying to sign her up for swimming lessons has turned into a serious ordeal. And it has become far more trouble than it is worth, to say the least.<\/p>\n
\tLast year, I mentioned to a friend with a little boy the same age as Kaitlyn that they should take swimming lessons together. She signed him up, left us out and that was that. This year I mentioned it again.. more firmly. I said we should go together to the pool and arrange it. Well, she went without me and signed both kids up for lessons. On Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I know I’m looking for something to do other than stay at home on the weekends, but fighting the crowds at the public pool isn’t quite what I’d envisioned. So she went back to change it and ran into the issue that the two families’ vacation schedules are making it difficult. So she gave me his phone number and left it to me to get with the teacher. I’m not entirely sure why, but ok. <\/p>\n
\tI stopped by the pool one cool and un-crowded afternoon in hopes of finding him there. I don’t even know what this guy looks like, I just know his name. No, he wasn’t there. Try back tomorrow. Well, Saturday came and when I told Bill we needed to stop by the pool I might as well have told him he needed to dip his toes in acid. Neither was going to happen. So in a fit of annoyance, I broke down and called the swim teacher. I’d practiced in my head what to say, but still fumbled around when I had to actually talk. Still, I think I managed to get the point across including my phone number. I even turned our answering machine back on so I won’t miss his call. That was Saturday. Today is Monday. And he’s yet to call back. This afternoon I had another friend of mine who speaks French very well call and she, too, got his voice mail. She doesn’t know my number by heart so she gave him her number to call. I bet he won’t call her back either.<\/p>\n
\tI’m just trying to find out if Kaitlyn can have a lesson Wednesday. The day after tomorrow. I don’t want to just wait till then and drag her to the pool for a potential let down and melt-down. <\/p>\n
\tAt this rate, this is going to be a long summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
