I'm baaaaaack! I'm not sure how it happened but somehow I turned into a crazy workaholic... Let's all hope that fever has permanently subsided.... cuz I gotta say it SUUUUUCKED!
Well, I've done it again... I've signed my kid up for yet another freaking sport... WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??? Ok... don't answer that smartasses... ANYWAY....
What's even worse?
I signed him up for the WORST spectator sport in the world!
SWIMTEAM!
Don't get me wrong. I love swimteam. It was pretty much the only sport I genuinely excelled at. It got me a letter jacket as a freshman... yeah... I may or may not be bragging a little but I was kick ass in the pool....just sayin...
The problem is... swim meets blow... big fat chlorine infused chunks.
Swim meets are exceedingly long. Did I say EEEEEXXXXXCCCCCEEEEEEDDDDINGLY LOOOOOOOOOOONG??? Cuz...well they are WAY too long...
AND they want you there BY 7 am... ON SATURDAY!!! Come on people... Let's be reasonable.
Swim meets are terribly dull except for the 45 seconds every 2 hours or so that your kid is actually swimming. There are only so many games of Go Fish one can play before dementia sets in. Plus my iPhone battery isn't really up to that much distraction. Don't get me wrong... I WILL be charging that bitch somewhere cuz there's NO way I'm going the length of a swim meet sans iPhone but it's kinda awkward when I'm just standing around in the concession stand waiting for my phone to charge... they always want me to help and crap.
Also, turns out summer is really the best time to host water based outside sports so......well... its FREAKING HOT! I don't mean "someone turn the air down a smidge its a bit warm in here" hot, I mean "OMG is that sweat in my drawers or did I just pee my pants?" hot.
You know what else sucks? They don't sell beer at these things!!! It's an ALL FLIPPIN' DAY BORING ASS SWEAT FEST!!! Beer would definitely improve the situation... I have considered making my own "grown up" swim team concoction... of course by "considered" I mean "fully intend to"
***in an unrelated matter if you're also forced to endure these swim meets come to my blanket on the hot ass ground.... It's where the party's at***
Well, I guess I need to get some rest. Swim team is creeping up on me... I can feel it dripping down my back...Feel free to drop by if you're around... I'll be there aaaaaaaaaaaalllllllll daaaaaayyyyy... We can hang out, play a rousing game of Go Fish... get hammered... it's whatev...
