What's my time?

Our little Swimmer

"The girl" swam in her first swim meet last week. After a scare during warm ups (a mouthful of water), she raced in the 25 meter freestyle, 25 meter backstroke and the 100 meter freestyle relay. She placed first or second in each race. She claims she "saved the day" in the relay... which was a real confidence builder. She can't wait for the next meet.

"The boy" was on a continuing trip the concession stand during the course of the meet. Thankfully, he was taken home to go to bed before we ran out of money. We will be better prepared next time. He has shown very little interest in swim practice until I mentioned we were going to see his sister race. "I want to race" was his immediate response. Maybe it's a boy thing. I plan to have him swimming by next summer, so I can have have one hour each morning to myself...sitting poolside...maybe even enjoying a book.

I'm Blogging...are you kidding me?

I have had enough of that sinking feeling that reminds me that another day has passed and I have not "caught up" with my friends and family. As a result, I am diving into the Blog-zone. It's my attempt to reconnect with those who are important to me while juggling life with "the boy" and "the girl".
