Sometimes it is worth being a Mom

There are days where I would like to hide under the covers. There are mornings that I have to get up BEFORE the crack of dawn. Today was one of those days. I really don't like being a parent at 5:45 am. LOL.

So off we went to the swim meet for Princess Seriously. She was not excited as she was doing two of her hardest events first. The 200 meter free style. That is 8 laps. Timed. First swim. She was nervous. But she made it. She tired out and I thought she blew it, come to find out that she took 20 seconds off her time!!!! We were so excited!!!

The second race was the 100 meter butterfly. That was the first time doing it. Her for was wonderful!!! There were lots of people that commented. She did really well. Got tired on the last half of the last lap. Her time was a good time. Coach was happy.

The next two were thing she had done before. 50 back and 50 free. She decreased her times in those. That is always a good thing! We were excited.

Swim meets are always long. It is fine balance of what to eat and drink and when to do that. I personally am burnt to a crisp on my chest and man does it hurt. But it really was proud mommy moments for me today!
