Swimming pools and wanna be movie stars....

Morning Campers...

How is everyone?? Glad it's Wednesday.. I work today and then am off until next wednesday.. woo hoo!!

Lots going on. The in laws are keeping me busy. As you know I spent the day with my niece yesterday..she is so darn cute. She loved getting her nails done. .. she said she felt like a movie star... ;-) She spent the entire day with me. We went to the mall where I bought her a velvet colouring poster set...we also picked up a little something for her brother and sister. We finally went back to my Father in laws about 5pm..we had plans to go out for supper...we were sitting out by the pool enjoying the fresh air...the pool was covered as it's a little chilly now..anyways..Jesse-Mae the red headed toddler was playing .. skipping around..we were all outside..she was in plain view..well I was colouring with Lillie-Jane..step mother in law (AKA the witch) was holding the baby.. mum # 1  (Sharon)was on the phone.. Mum # 2 (Amanda) had gone inside to get ready.. next thing I hear the witch screaming ..I look up and sure enough Jesse-Mae has fallen in the pool and is under the cover!!!! I kicked off my clogs and jumped in and pulled her out.. I don't think she went further than the steps that lead down to the pool but she sure was terrified..bless her!! And cold.. needless to say her Mums both freaked out and it was a lesson to everyone that even right in front of your face tragedy can happen. Which brings me to my next story.. I don't know why but drownings always happen around me.. I am a Pisces the water sign if that has anything to do with it. The first drowning happened about 10 years ago in the house we were renting. If I have told this story before I apologize. It was 10 at night and I had opened the garage door to let Rachel in ..she was being dropped off by her friends Mum..as I was saying goodbye I heard a little girl crying..whimpering really... saying "moooommmy...moooommmyyy"... and sobbing... I thought who is outside this time of night? then I thought of the family next door with the pool.. I ran out back..grabbed a chair and looked over the fence..the little girl was on a raft in the middle of the pool crying and looking in the deep end..I asked her what happened and she said "mommy is asleep in the bottom of the pool" it was then I saw the body at the bottom.. I grabbed my phone dialed 911 and ran around to the house.. I couldn't get in as the gate was locked.. long story short with the aid of the neighbours I got over the fence..dove in and pulld the lady out..she was "dead" .. bloated and not breathing.. the 911 operator talked me through CPR as I panicked and couldn't remember how to.. rescue came and they took her to the hospital..she survived..she was in a coma for a few days and suffered short term memory loss but she survived.. I got an outstanding Citizens award from the Sherrif's office for that....fast forward a few years and  man drowns on the beach right in front of us after going in to retrieve my sons tube that had floated away...dies right in front of us.... see what I mean about drownings?? It really is starting to spook me....wonder what it all means or if it is just a coincidence??

Well people I need to go get ready for work..staff meeting today...have a feeling it's going to be interesting to say the least...Happy Hump Day to all especially Gaz and Phil the thrill..don't know why but hump day always brings them to mind... ;-)
