yesterday was our home swim meet and it went well. although it started late, which was extremely frustrating, and i was about ready to start screaming at someone, anyone who would listen, i knew that would not get me anywhere. so i kept my cool, tried to control my kids, and eventually, after about a half hour to 45 min. after the meet was suppose to start, it did. and it was fun, except for the little kids who were at their first swim meet and they kept asking, "when do i swim?" "do i swim now?" "what am i swimming next?" "is it my turn yet?" over and over again as i kept telling them that i would let them know when they need to swim but they would just have to sit down and wait. the meet ran much longer than i wanted it to. i had places to be, but work must come before play. square, booty, and nate and i were all going to meet for supper and i was going to miss all of them because this meet wasn't organized and fergus and warroad kept adding swimmers to events, which shouldn't of been happening. but eventually, the meet ended and i booked it out of there and met up with my friends. supper was fun, full of laughter and good times. we all argued, laughed, talked, caught up, teased, and ate. we came up with plans to see each other over the summer and our road trip to texas. it gives some purpose to summer...something that i can look forward too in my misty haze of endless tasks. i can't wait for august, but yet again...i can't wait for this week to be over and on to the next.
