This year, I did the unthinkable and demanded that we get a swing set of our own. Yes, an over sized object meant for the enjoyment of young ones that has to be placed upon the perfection that is our grassy backyard. I knew this subject matter would bring anxiety and diarrhea to the men folk of this house, but I wasn't keen on haulin' ass to the park every time Princess Kellan wanted to go for a swing. I'm getting too fat for that crap.
For those of you who have had their head stuck in an ostrich hole for the last 30 weeks, I'm due in late July. For those of you not native to Michigan, that's the hottest, most humid part of the summer. I dread it when I'm not gestating. By the time I even got there I'd be drenched in sweat and ready for a nap. I'd rather have my finger nails pulled out with pliers.
So, we bought a swing set. I was delusional to be dreaming of the neighborhood kids swinging away while the adults chatted and BBQ'd within hours of the purchase. This monstrosity took almost 4 weeks to complete. Not only should I have made sure each of the 6, count it 6 boxes of pieces made it here, I should have kidnapped and enslaved an employee to put it together for us. Hell no would I EVER want to do this again. If I move I will strap that puppy atop my Flex (ok, I got a Flex! That's a whole other post there my friends...) and drag that S.O.B. with me.
(Yes, Cocoa plays on it too. That's part of being one of the dogs, right? Play with man's best friend....)
