We’ve been blogging about the same amount of time.

I was hoping you’d been blogging for eons, but shall have to console myself with the fact that you are simply better than I.

We’ve had a pool for 8 years. And dealt with the normal pool owner hassles, including misquitos at night and balancing chemicals to keep the water “perfect” in the Oklahoma heat and leaks in the pipes.

But we never had frogs. Until this year.

The owner of the land behind our property has starting building his own little “resort” … complete with a man-made pond. The froggies obviously prefer chlorinated water to the pond water because they’re invading our pool every night now! On the ladders and under the coping … croaking annoyingly from sun down to sun up the next morning. My 15 year-old son has even commented about the “compromising” positions he’s seen them in together (since this is a family site I won’t use his exact expression).

And don’t ask what happened when I reached in to pull the filter basket out to remove the standard accumulation of dead leaves the other day and my hand grabbed something soft and squishy instead of the basket handle …

All that to say is that the benefits of YOU blogging is that I don’t feel so alone in my frog terrors. Now, if I could just make my tales as funny as you …

Albeit a virtual one.

Lord have mercy, I do believe the world is about to stop on it’s axis. I hear the screeching now …

Anywho.

I love the fact that we can download old games. We have an XBox360, and for my birthday last year Jonathan bought me PacMan.

I love that boy.

I envy you not having to buy backpacks and lunch boxes. It is a painful thing with indecisive children. My son would deliberate over a pencil sharpener (hand held, non mechanical) for an hour if you let him.

Happy Three years, you are awesome at blogging!
