Pool-tiquette

So, I have been going to water aerobics each morning at the pool/fitness center 3 minutes from my house. Before going though, I usually walk with Jennifer, my neighbor, and Brayden (who gets a nice ride in his Jeep stroller). Because I try to walk as long as possible, I usually get there right as class starts. I'm one of the last to arrive, and just try to find a place in the pool where I can have plenty of room without hitting anyone else. Needless to say, all the other swimmers are usually there and have staked claim to the better spots in the deep end. But today, there was one good spot left, and I swam right to it.

So, what do you do when someone starts to swim into your place? This is the second day that I have had this problem. Yesterday, this woman was doing a move without keeping her feet on the bottom (like the instructor told her us) and she was coming right for me. The pool was super crowded yesterday because it was the third Wednesday of the month, the day all the swimmers go to their monthly lunch at the Olympic (so cute!). But I didn't have any where to move to get out of her way, so I was stuck! It was like playing chicken with no where to move to. Today, a lady got there after me and just plopped down about 12 inches from me (not enough far enough for me to keep from punching her during the arm portion of the workout). I know that people wouldn't do that in a normal class on dry land, and I guess they are not more aware of their body in relation to others because it is in the water. Oh well. Get over it I guess, right?

It does seem that lately, all I do it eat, sleep and exercise. By the time I get my morning workouts in, take a shower, eat lunch and watch my soap opera (while doing something productive like ironing), I can barely keep my eyes open. So I take a nap, wake up hungry, eat again, and do a few more things around the house before starting dinner. Jason told me that is my job this summer though-to eat, sleep, exercise, and grow a baby. Still, it is frustrating when there are so many things I want to get done. Whew-it is hard work growing a baby!!!!!!
