Help! I’m Sweating Chlorine!
Saturday, den 20. October 2007I’m getting ready for the third day of a three-day, out of town swim meet with my daughter, so I’m on autopilot right now. The air was so hot in the pool area, that it was nearly impossible to breathe. Some kids were actually crying.
My daughter, who has exercise-induced asthma, spent most of her time outside, waiting for her swims, even though it was freezing. She said she’d rather be cold and able to breathe, though. And frankly, I have to agree.
Thank God this is the last swim meet we have to go to at this particular facility. Next week, a brand new pool is opening nearby, and we are ecstatic! No more long drives back and forth for local swim meets! No more being poisoned by chlorine gas!
Some people think I’m crazy when they here all that competitive swimming involves. But my daughter loves it, and it’s been great for her self-esteem and health (until this weekend). I’d recommend it to anybody who wants their child involved in a sport that teaches discipline and hard work.
So off we go again tomorrow. Just one more day of labored breathing to go. If blogger ever gets the photo uploader working again, I may even post a pic.

Saturday, den 20. October 2007My mother is great at motivation. When I was little, we often walked long distances. When we would get tired (as small children are wont to do!), she would urge us on by saying, “Let´s just walk to that rock there”, pointing to a rock a few feet away. That was quite manageable, so we´d [...]

Super Mom Syndrome: Are you Suffering?
Saturday, den 20. October 2007Let’s face it; no one can do it all without experiencing the suffering and stress related conditions adherent to the every day demands placed upon them. Suffice to say, many moms have tried; some have been successful, while others have been immeasurably consumed by its consequences. The super mom syndrome is exacting a very heavy [...]
