ok, so the raging storm came and went before the swim meet, and it happened after all. i sat through 3 hours and 45 minutes of pure boredom- doing consulting paperwork and enduring the comments of those not doing paperwork at the pool. if i hear 'don't you ever rest?' one more time i believe that i will just go off. when your child swims for 1.5 minutes every 45 minutes or so, something has to take up the slack time- might as well do billable work while i sit..........and the mean mamma wouldn't even stay for the potluck.........
