We got the sod cut for the pool. We almost died because my husband and I are too old for this shit, but its done! Today we are planning to put down the padding and pavers. Monday-the pool!!! I can’t wait. It is suppose to be HOT here this week (90’s) so it will be a welcome distraction.
I’m excited about the Olympics! I have always loved the Olympics. I’m a huge gymnastics fan so I am most pumped about that. I hope that they don’t have any outbreaks of COVID. I can’t imagine working your whole life to reach this pinnacle and then getting COVID.
I only have 2 more weeks of summer before it’s back to work for me. I’m crying. I’m not ready. Sigh.
Thursday I meet a couple of friends for a day at the zoo. One friend had her twin 2 year olds and let me tell you-we needed all 3 of us to handle 2 toddlers at the zoo. Exhausting!! But, we had fun and so did the kids.
So, whats new with you this week? Did you read any of the same books I did? Did you find any great book deals I need to grab ASAP? Let me know in the comments!

Yay enjoy your pool and these final hot lazy days of summer. I am watching the Olympics and worried I won’t be reading so much because I’ll be watching. I recorded to DVD the entire 2008 Bejing Olympics and watched all 38 DVDs. I’ve missed too much the last few Olympics with not having cable or figuring out streaming. I loved it when I had an antenna on top of the house to watch broadcast tv. I’m using Peacock and Locast to stream it.
Anne – Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I really need a husband just for around the house stuff. lol I am reading My Always One by Aleatha Romig right now and really enjoying it. Hope you have a good last week of July, and enjoy that pool!
Good luck with your pool! Sounds like you need it with the heat. Yes, two 2yr olds are a lot to handle! Glad to hear you had fun.
I’m looking forward to Claimed and Say Goodbye too!
I felt just like that guy when I got my “invitation” to return to work. I relate hard to this. I am glad the pool didn’t kid you, and hope you both get a lot of enjoyment from it. I can’t believe you go back to school in two weeks. Seems like the year just ended.
I laughed so much at that first TikTok! That will stay in my head for ages. Sounds like you had a busy week, but I bet the zoo was so much fun.
I love gymnastics too! And twins are exhausting! Have a great week Samantha!
I was watching the gymnastic portion last night and enjoyed it so much. Yeah, there were a few hiccups but those ladies are so amazing! Hooray for progress on the pool! And just in time for the hot weather, too. Poolside reading += heaven!
Oh my word! What a marathon job to get a pool dug out… It’s always a surprise to find how far adrift our school holidays are – our children only broke up this week. I hope you get a chance to really relax in the coming week:).
I totally understand about the sod. That is HARD work! Congrats on getting it done!
Omg I can only imagine 2 toddlers at the zoo – I’ve done a group of 5/6 year olds when I taught Kinder and that was exhausting, but they were much older.
Yay for the pool! I hope y’all get it finished in time to enjoy it a bit before you have to go back to work. Summer is flying by!
