5 minute freewrite 2753 prompt she went to war

This is my post for #freewriters 2753 prompt she went to war hosted by @mariannewest

I woke to good news with the pool this morning and bad news with it. First, the good news, the water was clear, but my husband was still concerned with the chlorine level, so I checked it, and it was perfect at a 3. Anything over 4, you can not get in it until the level gets back to 3 or lower.

Overnight, the airating hose came off and I lost a lot of water, but that was not the bad news. When I put the hose on it, I had a hard time getting the thing that makes the bubbles pushed through and the clamp on it. I told my sister I did not like how it was, and I did nothing to try to get it on better. Now my husband put it back together, so I think it will stay.

I put some of my desert roses around the pool to make it look nice. These two were in front of the hose that came off. I am sure they were flooded with chlorine water. If anyone was watching me, they would have said she went to war with the water hose, trying to flush the chlorine from them. Since I do not know when the hose came off, I do not know how long they sat with chlorine in them, I guess I will know in a few days if they start to die or not. The bad thing was that yesterday my daughter asked if the desert roses will get splashed with the pool water and hurt them. I told her I did not think of that, and I will move them before the kids get in it. My sister said she would help me move them yesterday, and I told her I would do it today. The old saying is true. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
