Time to take a breather!
The last few days have been Run! Run! Run!
Thursday night swim meet: I placed 1st in the 50 meter free, 4th in the 200 meter backstroke (never competed in backstroke before, but I like it) and, as my Mom would say, UGH!-15th out of 16 in the 400 meter free. Looks like Coach has decided to have us do 3 events earlier this year. Somehow, I wasn't in the relays this time - not sure why. My Mom usually helps out - she's a timer. It's kind of nice, I can hear her cheering for me because she's right on the pool deck.
Friday night football game: It was fun - cold, wet, long, and boring - but still fun. I hate football, but I was there with the band. I played bells on one song, tambourine on one song, and snare on all the cadences. My Mom didn't go (she hates football too!) but she watched the half-time performance on TV.
I was supposed to work for this guy today - he's really cool, he's a Doctor and we have good talks! and he owns a farm just outside of town. I work on the farm with him, and he pays good too! But it's COLD and RAINING today, so we'll probably wait til tomorrow. My Mom says I need to clean my room today anyway, so it'll all work out fine. I think I'll borrow her "UGH!" again!
I'm so sick of it being cold inside - hope we hire an electrician soon!

My son Sam has just joined the swim team. He is liking it so far but I am not sure when it gets a bit chillier how he will feel about it. I will keep you posted on that one lol. You should watch Rugby which is supposed to be equivilant to Football. However Scragend would disagree with me.
I hope the electic is fixed soon. I guess some good jumpers will be hand for the mo.
Take care

Don't worry, he'll love it! Even in the winter! It's great to be inside the heated pool area when it's below zero in MI! Tell Sam "Good Luck"!

I saw sunshine here in Wisconsin, so I promise, it's coming your way.
Great job on your races and don't let that one get you too down.
You'll get em next time, Tiger! ;)

I have 2 of my our daughters in swim lessons and one of them wants to be a diver although there are no teams around here. She says she is too short to be a fast swimmer but that she is the perfect size for diving.
We too, go to an indoor pool and will continue through the winter with the swim lessons twice a week. I want to encourage her to join a swim team since there are no dive teams around, are there any short, skinny kids on the swim teams you see?

Some of those short skinny kids are REALLY fast! Less resistance in the water, I guess!
I like being on the dive team too, but swimming is better exercise.

You will have to tell us more about what you do at the farm.
My sis has a farm of mini horses and some chickens and one cow, I call him "Steak".
I grew up around farms, too.
