So these last few days I've been preparing for our family vacation to Mexico. We leave on Friday (yaaaa!). I find that this time around things are running smoothly and gasp I almost done packing and it's only Wednesday! But here's my 1st Life Lesson: If it's too good to be true it probably is: So I'm doubling checking my bank account and I find that I have written checks that still haven't cleared. Needless to say I'm scrambling to deposit money today. Sigh. I really hate when that happens.
My second life lesson was something I learned last week. LL#2: Just because you think you're right doesn't mean you are: I wrote an email that was started off with good intentions but didn't end that way. I was very critical of someone and some things that while I was learning LL2, LL3 was also learned. LL3# THINK before you say (and do)! I really regretted sending that email. I went up and apologized to the person it was sent to. Do you want details? Too bad, you're not getting any. I've been mortified enough already...ha!
Enough with lessons learned on to funnier things. Last week Aaron started a swim class. It's once a week on Tuesdays. The first day of class I felt my heart in my throat. Yesterday's class was no better. Aaron has been told to hold onto the wall while he's in the pool of course he doesn't listen.
He decided to let go of the wall and proceeds to drown. At this point Yoly (my sister) and I are screaming "MY KID/NEPHEW is drowning!". Thank God another kid manage to grab him and pull him back to the wall. Does this stop Aaron from doing it again? Nope he tries it 2 more times with the last two times he manages to float on his own. I think I gnawed of my nails to my knuckles. My mom said she was not coming anymore and Yoly agreed. Shoot, I don't feel like coming anymore because I get scared too easily! There are three trainers in the pool and Yoly's who are all trained in CPR. So God forbid somethings happens Aaron, he will be fine.
I certainly do not want to instill a fear of swimming in Aaron. But he's just like Eduardo, a little daredevil. The boy was ready to do a cannonball in the pool... he didn't even care that he did not know how to swim. Well I hope during our vacation Eduardo teaches him to swim and so when Aaron does go back to his swim class he's already a pro. I've decided that I have to learn how to swim. I'll get in the pool and walk around without any problems but *shiver* ...
1 day and 1/2 to go until Mexicooooooo!
