Some thrive on that and actually move to get their kids involved. I hear football is insane! I'm glad it's mellow here and everyone can participate. It works for us.Cookie Doughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932693412521784418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503200786618224208.post-70471406981241024732009-04-15T04:13:00.000-08:002009-04-15T04:13:00.000-08:00Stressful for her now more so and have been in the...Stressful for her now more so and have been in the position to think about moving too, but things have worked out for her. It is very tough to be a parent and see your child excel at a sport only to have many many times at faultering. You have to "learn" how to accept the defeat as well as the victory and unfortunately it takes many years. I hate to post this, but her father has taken it to the limit so much so, that she doesn't want him on the pool deck anymore. Sad, but it has helped him not being there. Once they get older, they don't really want you there (well, maybe they do, but they don't admit it). My only prayer is that she swims through college and enjoys it - without our pressure of course!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971675930192275190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503200786618224208.post-27259445052429510942009-04-10T11:30:00.000-08:002009-04-10T11:30:00.000-08:00hehe I can't wait to see the tops....fun!!!Wow..Lo...hehe I can't wait to see the tops....fun!!!<BR/><BR/>Wow..Lori your daughter sounds amazing. I've thought about this since you posted, I think I'm good with being way out in the middle of nowhere with just the small pressure that the kids have. Is that bad?? All that big stuff sounds stressful and tiring!!<BR/>I guess that's why we do OK up here??<BR/>thanks for sharing, that just blows my mind, we do things so not intense here! (none of my kids are intense) When people do have kids that wish to excel in sports, they move! They have to if they want more...ya know?<BR/><BR/>AKGQ I did the purple becuase the layout site was hurtin' my brain!

My daughter has been swimming competitively since she was 7 years old. She's now a sophmore in HS and not only is she on the HS swim team, but continues to amaze us in her club swimming. Two weeks ago we took her to Orlando for her first ever Jr. Natl's - that was quite an honor. She qualified for three events, the mile, 500 Free and 200 Free. In two weeks we're off to Miami for an open water 5K swim, in which two years ago, she won it overall. She wanted to compete last year and have the title two years in a row, but she applied for an outward bound trip so wasn't able to return to Miami. My daughter is a distance swimmer and has worked hard over the years. This is a sport that us parents say is "no fun" - it's a lot of time and work, but the rewards pay off. I truly hope your daughter sticks with it especially if she's good. Tell her it's a great sport!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971675930192275190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503200786618224208.post-35042333359921952832009-04-09T03:20:00.000-08:002009-04-09T03:20:00.000-08:00the boxes in the back seat.. almost like Santa sne...the boxes in the back seat.. almost like Santa sneaking in at midnight leaving presents.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the update<BR/>Donnamamawashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00545943267761129007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503200786618224208.post-89749772180068382452009-04-09T01:02:00.000-08:002009-04-09T01:02:00.000-08:00Your daughter looks awesome swimming so glad she i...Your daughter looks awesome swimming so glad she is doing well. I am glad to hear you are on antibiotics, I hate that horrid metallic taste nothing you can do to get rid of it either, peppermint helps a bit. How nice that boxes were brought to you and put in your car, helps you out a bunch.Please be careful and don't over push yourself getting ready for Saturday gal.Margritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089120244611885772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503200786618224208.post-5800402983407287252009-04-08T22:34:00.000-08:002009-04-08T22:34:00.000-08:00heheh..I'll try...they have rules, so annoying!I'm...heheh..I'll try...they have rules, so annoying!<BR/><BR/>I'm actually glad my kids are too old for PCR Easter...soooo crazy!<BR/><BR/>The weather was awful today so maybe good by FRI???Cookie Doughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932693412521784418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503200786618224208.post-63530170006081833322009-04-08T22:28:00.000-08:002009-04-08T22:28:00.000-08:00Great post.

If Kristine and I aren't back by Friday, tell your husband to swing by and pick us up from Akutan! Kristine is worried about missing the Easter bunny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
