After that, I of course packed up my brood and headed to the pool. Of course I didn't wear my swimsuit because as most of you know from previous posts, I don't usually end up in the pool because my darling Lila just won't allow it. But look . . . . . . . . . .
I got her to sleep. Isn't she cute!As I was relaxing and enjoying not holding her, I was of course watching the pool with my eagle eyes (i never take my eyes off my kids, or the other kids I am responsible for, which today, just so happened to be a lot). As I was watching the pool, I noticed my almost 6 year old nephew jump into the 4 feet section, you know the section in which he cannot touch and the section I told him to absolutely NOT go in because he doesn't know how to swim and there are plenty of other places in the pool where he can touch and play. So as he is struggling, aka, nearly drowning, lifeguard Libbie to the rescue dives into the pool and saves the little turkey's life. I lift him up to the side of the pool where I give him a severe scolding for not obeying, telling him that I did not tell him that he couldn't go in the 4 feet to be mean, but I told him that because I loved him and didn't want him to DIE!
So I get out, soaking wet, because of course I didn't wear my swim suit, and realize that my precious NEW iPhone that Sugar Daddy bought me was in my pocket at the time of the "rescue" and soaked up enough water to be completely ruined. Dang (and Dang is an understatement becuase I really want to swear). I mean, how selfish am I, my nephew nearly drowns and I am totally worried about my phone.
So after the severe scolding, not even three minutes later, guess who is making his way back to the 4 feet? You guessed it. This is when we packed up and left. I am sure all of the people at the pool were quite satisfied with the entertainment for the day. Life saving, yelling, and more yelling (hey, I was mad, give me some credit). Thank goodness Nicole was there to document this. I am sure she was also amused. Let's hope this is our first and last incident of the summer.
Yes, I realize my nostrils are flared. This is a talent that comes out when I am mad.The moral of this story is:
1. Always wear your swim suit to the pool. 2. Always make your nephew wear a life jacket, even if he isn't sent with one, just march your lazy bum to your apartment and get him a pretty pink one. 3. It doesn't matter that my phone is broken. It only matters that little guy is alive.
So to all of my fans who I communicate with on a regular basis through "cellular" phone: Know this . . . . . . the reason I am not answering is because phone is out of commission until I can get a new one. Your going to have to try me at home.
Sugar Daddy, I know you are out of the country right now, and cannot call me and you are finding out about this via blog, so can mommy please have a new phone when you get home?

THAT SUCKS!!!! I almost called and invited myself to swim with you guys....that would have been fun. Good luck with the new phone!
Oh Libbie, that is so awful to lose your phone to the water gods like that. Do you want me to swear for you? I have a feeling that if Donald sees this he will definatly point out that I was the kind of mom, that if you brought my child to me in a big bloody mess that my first reaction would be, KEEP HIM OFF THE CARPET!!!!!
And you know what? I have no rebuttle to that because it is TRUE. So Libbie, you have my permission to be really pissed that you had to sacrifice your new phone to save that darn little nephew.
Yes, amused I was, but also very sorry for your poor iphone!! However, if it's any consolation, I will forever have a picture in my head that I will cherish of Libbie fully clothed diving full speed ahead into the pool in the direction of the drowning victim! If only I had noticed him sooner your phone would be intact. Hind sight is 20/20!
OH NO! okay libbie..this is what you have to do..this happened to one of my other friends from ricks and it worked: she pushed her husband into the pool and he had his iphone in his pocket..they went back to the store and told them the truth and begged for their lives to give them a new phone..and THEY DID!! so give it a shot! i hope it works!
OH NO!!!!! That's terrible!!! I am glad that you got some pics of the incident....it makes it a more dramatic story to tell. That's one lucky nephew to have an aunt like you :)
(good luck with the phone)
Wow, what a day. There is some good news about your phone though. In a week it will be obsolete anyway, because you know Mr. Steve nutJobs will come out with an even better one.
I just wish I was there to see this all go down. Nicole is sooo lucky!
oh ya one more thing, I love how in the background of the first pic Ava is standing there looking quite satisfied that it wasnt her causing the problem. Of course she probably only poops in the pool when Damon is in charge.
mommy, mommy, mommy...
you just wanted an excuse to get the new 3G iphone before I did. I don't know why you're waiting till i get back!
cute pics by the way...
daddy
Wow, you are strong. I probably would have sworn, not just wanted to. I can't wait to be by the pool with you.
Okay, I never know if people go back and see if they have new comments on older posts, so I will comment here. Those pics of the girls were so cute. Although, all the girls are cute, the pic of Lila was especially cute!!!
Nostrils flaring is an understatement! UGHH!
Whenever I am fully clothed at the pool and I am petrified of that happening,and wonder if I really would. On behalf of all mothers everywhere, kudos!
That is hilarious and terrible all at the same time! Yes, where a swimming suit when at the pool and if spankings were allowed in public, he would deserve one...but a life jacket is a better option! So funny, and sorry about your phone! I would have loved to see that!
No wonder you never called me back yesterday! And to think, I was thinking bad thought about you the whole time! Just kidding, it's only love coming from this sista! and pity...your poor phone!
A) you are the hottest lifeguard I've seen in a while. With those skills you should guard at Sunset during the winta'
B)I think Lila is bigger than Ansen (no kidding--we are currently testing him to see if he really is a real live little person...stay tuned, I'm a nervous wrek)
C) So sorry about your fancy phone. You shoule just get a piece of hud like mine and then it would only cost you 60 smackers to replace it.
Love the flared nostrils. That really is too bad about the phone. I would have had the whole neighborhood blushing with the words coming out of my mouth.
Oh that sucks! I would have done the same thing you did, left after the second offense.
But, like you said, the little guy is still alive!
Sooo sorry about the phone. That really sucks! At least you can get the new one, right?
YIkes! If only the little guy could've held his breath a few extra seconds... you might have had time to empty the' old pockets. I am sorry about your phone, loved the post.
I Hope you don't mind my crashing your blog, I got here thru Lisa!
Have a good rest of the summer, stay dry and it looks like "sugar daddy" has given his ok for a new phone, woo-hoo!
I would enslave my nephew and make him rub my feet for the rest of his life... or until he is bigger and taller than me. Kidding
YOU ARE SUCH A HERO!

Okay, this is seriously not funny. Holy cow that is an expensive save. Man, I hope you can wrangle yourself a new phone. But as consolation, you look great!
You are for sure one of the funniest people I know! I am so glad we got to catch up with you guys again. I so wish we lived closer- I think we could have a ton of fun! I know your Sugar Daddy takes good care of you. For goodness sake you saved a kid....you should get some kind of reward right?!
