Bad Day/ Hard Day

Ask and you shall recieve.... right... I mean ask for it and try for it and it shall come your way.... most of the time... So , last night I went to take the kiddo's to Jt's swimming lessons on a small high because I had applied for a job with the local Y for various open spots. One of them being an Aquatics Lead position. Well I got the call and interviewed and got the position. I was thrilled. Hired on the spot in this economy is rare and flattering... I went to tell Joe and he was happy as well. Then the other shoe fell so to speak. I realized that I would need to take a guard test and that my free stroke, front crawl, or whatever you want to call it was my one weakpoint and I panicked. Joe was of course Mr. Confident and very reassuring that all I needed to do was go in and get a feel for the water again and I would be fine... Here though I worried that going in to practice on the place that would become my home turf was going to be intimidating and I didn't want my guards to see my weaknesses. but Joe was right... it's like riding a bike right??? WRONG. I went in and to spare you the gory details, I made a complete fool of myself. I'm hoping that it's simply sheer fatness or moreover the fact that I am TOTALLY out of shape.
My beloved Joe has promised me that "we" will get me back inot shape and "we" will make me a great swimmer.

I sit here hopeful of this promise fufillment. I hope I keep it and I hope he does. For now I'm unsure and skeptical of us making it a follow through...however in Joe's words.... This could be the begining of a change in our lives". A change for the better.......I can only hope so and ask God to please kick me in the rear and get me going.

What doesn't break us makes us stronger.
