**i love when i spend several hours cleaning something out and it looks great!
take the garage, for instance........what a mess!
i put things away......sort of cleaned the work bench (can't clean it too much because it's mark's organized chaos)
i threw things away.....
i swept out the garage......
i got nice and dirty........man it feels good :0)
now, i just need to finish cleaning out ashley's room so she can move back home....yeah!

**i hate ego bursting experiences.....take swimming for instance.......i love to swim with the master's program at the life centre. i swim about the same pace as two other ladies.....well, one other because the other one has become really fast....ugh! i usually can keep up with denise hyer, but not with cathy dover, any more...i had a hard time at the end of the work out to keep up with either of them.....dave ryland (master's coach) told me i should be able to keep up and we are doing more of these kind of work outs so that i can......ugh! at the end of swimming, dave told me that i needed to be split up from cathy because she is too fast for me....double ugh!!
there goes my ego, my swimming confidence, my competitive ego.....
i know, really dumb to think this way, but.....
i have been swimming with her for 2 years now.....
all of a sudden she has gotten really fast......i don't know how she does it....
i guess i just need to try a little harder and swim my best.....UGH!

**i love teaching swimming lessons, though.....
it is fun to watch someone progress and understand what their body can do in the water....
when they finally get it.....that's success!

**i love that i am not ptsa president any more! yeah!
i turned over the key to the "castle" today to the new president....
i can just concentrate on the fun buses for next year.......
fun.....here i come!
