eggzactly. she kicked ass today took 2 seconds off her 100 backstroke seed time -which is apparently equivalent to a 5 second drop in a 100Y race in a 25Y pool. Which is almost unheard of at her level (backstroke is her worst stroke, though).

And she won her breaststroke heat and dropped the equiv of 1s in short course yards time which is most excellent. ....because this is "her event", so dropping a couple of hundredths is noteworthy, a second is like a royal wedding announcement

... to keep whoring and bragging.... There were 113 participants in the women's 100m breaststroke event, including one who swam in the Michigan grand prix last month against the olympians ... Hebe was seeded 31st and came in 22nd. She's not yet 13.5. It's pretty cool methinks.

Go girl go!

My 8 year old niece ran a 5k on Saturday. (She actually beat her mother, who runs all the time!) Then they rushed to her dance recital, at noon, which I attended. 3 freaking hours, that thing ran. She was in a hip hop group, little flight suit on, so cute. Of course, she was only on for their 4 minute part then she was back on for the finale. There had to be over 30 groups. Then they had another show at 6 pm!

Yesterday we were playing with the basketball and the older girl said S was too lazy to chase the ball. S said "I ran a 5k yesterday and had 2 dance recitals. You CANNOT call me lazy!" Well said, beautiful little one, well said.

Now it's softball, I think basketball and volleyball are over!

I get how the kids can do it all, but the parents must be exhausted.

eta: Oh yeah, and she gets straight As.

aaw I was at camp in The Wilderness (just north of Detroit). No interwebs there, the ganstas done stoled it all. Ziplining in the snow. awesome.


Very proud of my camper, who was the first all the way up the climbing wall to ring the bell at the top, got a dead center bullseye in archery and can shoot/arch/whatever accurately with both hands, was the only kid to get the ring on the hook multiple times and was noted for his leadership, manners and helpfulness.

No prizes for the first one to FTFY "mainlining the snow" Just sayin' It's old now.

he does seem to have had a lot of teeth. Kind of sad that pavarotti can't stand up.

I have an itching deep within my ear.
I fantasise about having a long spike to clear my ear and restore my hearing.

Mum and I had a conversation the other day and it turns out that what I half- remember is basically true. They stuck something long and thin in my ear because I had hard impacted wax. Later it would be removed by having my ears syringed. Now it's done by suction.

On every occasion it was an extraordinary sensation, and opened up a whole world of hearing to me.

But any time I have a cold, or am coming down with one (the battering my immune system gets from 30 4-5 year olds!) I always invisage a long spindly thing, spearing and lifting out chunks of wax.

Maybe that's why I never developed a fear of needles.

I have this sensation most of the time. I get psoriasis in my ear canal, so I spend half my life with cotton buds shoved down them.

Boiling water poured on dried leaves from half a world away, topped up with cow juice.
So good in the mornings.
