Fed up with Pool Waiting Game- parents don't care
My parents don't understand I'm fed up with waiting for our above-ground pool to open. Dad's been having problem after problem. I want to swim at least a couple of times in our own pool before I go to my one week camp. Which is like 2 weeks away. My parents say that our above-ground pool looks like it's the same colour as the problem a Reflecting Pond or pool but our pool has seen worse then this before. Our pool just looks to be the same colour as normal I'm getting to the point that I don't care if it's ice cold in the pool - i want the *bacon* ladder in tomorrow since I'm just had enough of waiting around for the pool.
I ask Dad and he's keep saying "soon" but at the rate it's going I'm not going to be swimming in our own pool until after I go to camp which is over 2 weeks from now. Dad's couldn't understand I'm going the first full week of July not the first of July (which is next Wed). Until I show him the Asian calendar.
When I complained to Mom she said I could just go to (pool down by PH/ Disabled Gym) for Free swimming- that would mean 1. having to get up at crack of dawn to go down there for "free swimming" since my Mom can't drive and Dad's absent on Thursday mornings due to grocery shopping. 2. The pool down there is an inground pool. I can barley swim in one. I can swim in above-ground pool but only my house and a classmate's family has above ground pools but his family lives not that far away from me. But I have to cross the street and turn onto Street 2 in order to get to his house.
Then when I was blubbering and complaining to Mom was saying I was acting like a 2 year old. While her wouldn't when Dad keeps telling you "soon" and soon never seems to be happening? Then she got fed up with me acting like a 2 and said if I don't shut up, I can go out the front door and ask M at PH where I can live because I can't live here. I know she doesn't really mean it. But it seems like she doesn't seem to care. So it made me really upset and I might have slam the bathroom door.
She and Dad don't seem to care that I want to go into the *bacon* pool tomorrow since I'm fed up already in the waiting game after waiting for weeks. Mud in the bottom of the pool, the filter needing a new lid, etc.
I think mostly I want to go swimming (beside for the exercise part) is so I can practice putting the water ear plugs in before camp since we go swimming on Wednesday at the local campgrounds. There's no point in practicing w/o being able to swim
Mom says I should take it one day at a time. I been doing that for over 2 maybe 3 weeks. I kind of have already used up what I'm going to call "waiting spoons" trying to do one day at a time.
Now Mom's threatening not going to Bard's town this year and I want to go. So what am I suppose to do I want to go swimming but our pool is the only free above ground pool around here without going to a classmate's house and no one will be home probably even if I did go over. All the other pools are inground pools that people have around here.
I'm afraid at the rate's it going I'm not going to be swimming in our own pool until after my camp and I really need to practice putting the ear swim plugs. I don't see why the darn lader can't be put in the pool tomorrow so I can go swimming.

My parent want me to wait for the pool to warm up. But at the earliest that wouldn't be until Sunday. So that means i have either less then a week in the pool before I go to camp which is the week after next Sunday. Or less then 1 day before camp. They said I would have plenty of time to swim before camp. I'm don't think I'm going to be getting into a pool at the rate it's going until Wednesday when I go to Camp. And then being able to get into our pool until after camp.
Also I'm in the hottest room in the house since part of the room I'm in faces south which means it's the first thing which gets the sun in the morning.
