Monster in the Pool

Gillian was awful in swim class last night. Well DURING class she was awesome. Afterward, the cool mushroom fountain was turned on in the kiddie pool and the younguns were left to run wild. I told Gilly she had 10 minutes to play. An HOUR after screaming at her, a random dad heaved her out to me w/ a massive eye roll and an exasperated sigh. Well, excuuuuse me for being dressed in work scrubs and tennis shoes. Had I realized that my rotten kid would have me hollerin @ her like a red neck hillbilly, I would have worn my red string bikini and belly button ring along with all of the other inappropriately- dressed-for-their-botox-desguised-age doctors' wives (you can't botox tummy wrinkles! Gross!). But as luck would have it, I left it at home. Also, thank you very much sir, for getting my rebellious hell-child out of the rich-kid pool. I appreciate it.
Not only did I already have a PMS-induced migraine before I even arrived, I realized that a former arch-enemy also had her son enrolled in swim class @ the YMCA. This woman, we'll call her Kay, wreaked havoc upon my heart AND social life in HS and college by repeatedly stealing the one boy my tender teenage heart longed for. Now don't get me wrong, I can absolutely let bygones be bygones. I am waayaayay over that boyfriend-stealer. But I AM still a woman. And we,as an entire gender, are preter-naturally competitive. I noted with a heavy heart that Kay's cute-but-not-as-cute-as-my-kid son was in the class one level above Gillian. I also couldnt help but compare my 5'7 currently plus size frame to her slender 5'11 athletic build. Ugh. After class, her son reluctantly exited the pool with a minimal amount of threats. Double Ugh.
That evening, Brian had to shoot me up w/ imitrex to treat my raging 'sick-headache' as Gillian calls them. I was out by 9pm. On a happy note, I had delish dreams about Nathan Fillion. I think it was bc i was bummed about not being able to stay conscious for Castle. It wasn't a sex dream er nothin.' There certainly was some lovely, lovely kissing and flirting tho. He was just so sweet. I think he was pretty much Brian with Nathan's face. Whatevs! I know I woke up with a smile and I certainly did not go to sleep that way!!!
