So, as soon as we all moved out of our parents home....they got an in-ground pool! The thirty years prior filled with us begging, cajoling, whining for a pool finally paid off. Honestly, it has worked out beautifully for us kids...we get all the benefits without any of the work! The one draw back is seeing the stress our poor Mother suffers because of the pool. Our Mother is a doer, she loves to work, loves projects and loves making us happy! But this pool really kicks her butt, which just one of the things that stress her out! Our bro has her stress mapped out....she is stress free in January, then tax season starts. Since she is in charge of getting three different entities ready for the accountant, this causes stress until April 15th. Then, without missing a beat...pool season starts, that lasts until September. The she enjoys a stress free October. Next Thanksgiving into Christmas, that is the mother of all stress time!! So, basically she is stress free for two months of the year. Sometimes she kids about moving with our Pops to The Villages (at least I think she is kidding) but really what fun is a stress free life? Here's hoping she never finds out!!!
