Another Crazy Weekend

Another whirlwind weekend in the Dravenstott household. A swim meet for William, boatloads of homework, college prep and job applications for Aden, and Valentine's Day / Family Day preparation for Daniel (it's the tenth anniversary of our family forming in Guatemala, a big day for him and for all).  Here are a few highlights:

1. Watching the Olympics on Saturday night, dazed and confused after six hours in a chlorinated pool, hearing the instructors moan about the difficulty level of the "twizzles"  in ice dancing. Said no one ever:  "If something is going to go wrong, you know it will be during the twizzle sequence!" 
God forbid you tweak your twizzle.

2. Rob pulling up to the pick-up line at church yesterday, rolling the window down to catch my attention as the unmistakable beats of "Straight Outta Compton" penetrated the rows of exiting families and young children.  When I jumped in the car, horrified, and asked him to A. roll the window up, and B. turn the music down, he said "What's the problem? It's the edited version."

3. Waking up this morning at 5:15am to coach Masters swimming and finding myself unable to tie my shoe, distracted enough by that failure to ignore my hair standing straight on end. Needless to say, I provided amusement to all early-morning swimmers and instructors. 

That's all for now. I feel certain that this hectic week will provide more sources of amusement and inspiration via Olympic athletes, teen antics and parent exhortations.
