I know, it takes so much effort to take two little ones to the pool. And all the stuff! The stroller would tip if I put the strap of the bag over the handle. It just doesn’t seem relaxing to me!

But what I am enjoying this summer is that my almost 4yo is taking swim lessons that I don’t have to participate in. I get to sit on a chair and read a magazine and watch. And the baby stays home with daddy and is already fed dinner by the time we get home.

Pool queens are so over-rated. Ragtag moms, we’re the fun ones.

Your pool prep and pool time sound so like mine. No, exactly like mine.

I know nothing about being pool queen but I do know how to be out of the house all day and not worry about dinner: crockpot.

Darnit. I was hoping that one of the Pool Queens had commented by now so I could learn their secret. I’ll check back later.

i’m no pool queen (red heads!) but I always have the pool bag packed and ready to go- I even leave it in the car.

Your kids have more fun than the pool queen’s kids.

Hi, Susie,

Here’s what I know: purchase your own above-ground pool. Set it up where you can see the kids from the kitchen, where you are preparing the egg salad and root beer floats.

The children will have fun in the pool; you will be keeping an eye on them, and some of the work will get done. That’s how we do it here.
