Swim meet part Deux

Tonight was Xan' second swim meet. Our team has.....oh maybe 40 kids? Tonight we had an away meet-over 20 minutes away- and the team had 90 swimmers!!!!! UGH! And stupid Janis decided to sign up for a 'job'. Yay. Usually my job is keeping Mr.Sunshine (Xavier) out of the pool and the street. Not tonight. Tonight I was a timer! SO much pressure! You have to raise your hand when the referee addresses you, write down times, cheer, be on time....
Xan only had one race again tonight. He was sorta mad, but I told him his first year on swim team meant he could only do one race. He bought it, so I won't push it!

Tonight I had to time Xan. I didn't cheat! I told him to swim as hard as he could and not to stop until he touched the side. He did SO good. He improved 14 seconds from last time AND moved up to 3rd place! Hooray!
Mr.Sunshine was pitching a fit so Jon left with him and I caught a ride home with a neighbor. Unfortunately for me, her son was in race seventy-motherfucking-eight. I was through with my duties @ #45. I watched Xan and the boys have a towel whipping fight for 2 hours. Seriously? Only a boy could do that!
Against my better judgement I didn't bring a project. Lesson learned.

Jon left about 7:45. I got home at 10:15. I was ready to lay in the road and throw a tarp over my body.

As bad as it sucked, I'm so proud of my sweet pea! 14 seconds in a 25 meter freestyle is awesome! AND he got out of the pool with a smile. I love that kid!
