The Meet

Yesterday I prayed it would rain today so that Jeneane's swim meet would get cancelled. Well, it rained and instead of getting cancelled we ended up getting stuck sitting under tents waiting for the clouds to pass. I guess the phrase "be careful what you ask for" fits.
Jeneane has my cruddy luck. In one of the races she got fourth place when there were only three swimmers. I told her even the person that didn't show did better. She has a sense of humor though. She did get third place in one of the relays. I was so excited I screamed like a little girl.
What I can't get is how much junk food they sell at these meets. The girls usually race in five races and in between they consume more junk food than truckers on a cross country trip. They also have people selling frozen drinks, nachos, burgers, and sausages on a stick. It just seems like it is more about the money than the kids. I remember when I was in swimming we were not allowed to have sodas or junk food. I remember my coach being very specific about what we were and were not allowed to eat.
Anyhow, I'm passed worn out and since I have already taken two Tylenol and two Excedrin for the headache the kids caused, I think I am going to hit the sack.
