The Snowball Swim Meet!
January 11th, 2009 -- Posted in thisnthat | No Comments »Whew. WHAT A DAY! Today was the Pup’s second swim meet, and I promise I’ll quit counting them by meet soon. Ish. Anyway – this time it was in Sister City, where our Piranha’s took on the Salmon, and did very well over all! There were tears, a lot of cheers, and this one crazy lady who kept yelling things into the camera and OMG she is such a dork and should probably be muzzled, but WHATEVER she’s not the only one and it’s not that loud really just because she’s holding the camera it magnifies the sound and OH SHUT UP I’M A HUGE GIANT CHEERING YELLING SCREAMING SUPPORTIVE EMBARRASSING DORK MOM!
Ahem. Anyway.
The Meet. Yes. So the Pup spent the night with Auntie Ladybug n crew, so she could carboload on s’ghetti last night, and also hitch a ride to the warmups this morning. Of course it wasn’t all that smooth going, because she needed her team suit and sweats from here at the house, and she also forgot her Good Luck Charms, so…
…naturally we couldn’t find her little bell. OMG. So before she got here, I dug up a gold dollar coin that had been rattling around in Daddy’s dresser, and wrote her a “Go PUP!” note to read before I got there, and her sister let her hold her tiny puppy, AND to replace the bell, Nana and Papa happened to have a bell that fell off their door chime that was Nana’s Mama’s so is OLDER THEN US BOTH, and tied it to some red yarn and WHEW. The Pup had something to hold onto.
I hear tell her cousins asked why they didn’t have stuff like that, and Auntie Ladybug told them “You don’t need it. You didn’t last year. She does. Leave her be about it.” THANK YOU Auntie Ladybug!
