Today's Accomplishments

1.) I got out of bed, even though I was in the middle of a fantastic dream that I wanted to keep dreaming(I was redecorating Jonathan and Anna's bedrooms; there were paint swatches everywhere and I was so happy!).
2.) I sort of kept a kid from drowning at swim lessons (which was seriously terrifying and I can't stop thinking about it and I just want to keep my kids home for the rest of the summer away from all pools). Somehow the two lifeguards on duty and the one teaching the class just did not see him go under. He went under on purpose. I heard him say, Hey, Look what I can do!
He just let go of the wall, and at first, since he had done it intentionally, I thought he was just struggling under the water on purpose. Also, I had that social anxiety, where I kept thinking, well, is he really drowning? What if I go and lift him out and he was just treading water and everyone thinks I am a total overdramatic freak?I imagined his mother running over and saying, Hey! Lady! Don't touch my kid!
But he really was not swimming and he really was sucking in water. I got him out, which was a little difficult since I had Anna in my arms. The lifeguard came over and I told her what happened and then I just tried to get back into the lesson with Anna but I could not stop staring at that part of the pool. He is in Jonathan's class (Jonathan was in the water getting instruction from the lifeguard and her back was turned to the other 3 students) and now I am going to be super anxious about Jonathan, and really, everyone in the pool (I can't ever just take care of my own business; this is part of why I am in therapy).
3.) I managed to remain calm when I had fire ants in my swimsuit coverup that were stinging me. The only thing that kept me from ripping off my coverup to get the ants off of me was the field full of men playing softball. If you think that I was concerned that they would check me out, then you don't know me that well. It was out of concern for them. I wanted to spare them the sight of me in my swimsuit. I am feeling REALLY GOOD about my body these days. Also, I managed to locate and smash the ants and I only got bit a couple of times.
4.) I went to Fazoli's and only had one breadstick. This is perhaps my proudest accomplishment of the day.
5.) I managed to construct Jonathan's new Star Wars Lego set. I am spatially challenged and it took me close to 45 minutes to assemble an 81 piece set, but hey! I did it! I was just so tired of telling him that we had to wait for Daddy to get home. But now I am sort of wondering if I was dumb to put it together for him. Telling him "I don't know how, only Daddy does" has gotten me out of a lot of hassle. Now that he knows I have potential, he may try to get me use it more often.
