   Pardon me for being a cynic.

   When one man (or woman) wins many freestyle swimming events over various lengths, doesn’t that mean that those events are not different tests of athletic skills?

   In track, for example, you don’t see the same person winning the 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m races.

   I became an instant fan when he mentioned his love for his mother in an interview!

   I would feel like such a looser Mom if I had a son that hung out at the pool all day , and ate food as a side job, and then came home and slept, only to do the same thing tomorrow.

   How does his Mom (saintly) produce THAT much food???

   Yikes !!! I do have a life guard kid that does that only with out the medals!

   We love watching this guy swim.

   I am celebrating like a pagan during summer solstice.

   Why you might ask?

   Because my son has started kindergarten. He is constantly getting in trouble at home.
   After Mass last night he blew a wad of snot through a capri sun straw from behind me hitting me on the side of my head while I was driving.(He’s going to be a logistics specialist)

   Now Mr.Terry you may have witnessed behavior like this from Miss Cathy of Alex using a cocktail straw ,but this is all new to me.
   I love my boy ,but he never stays where I put him.

   I am deeply offended by the comments on this post.

   Ray: Weren’t you just critizing me for being joyless the other day? Be of good cheer! I know you are really upset about the water polo events being pre-empted for beach volleyball. Get over it, already. Sheesh.

   Belinda: I can’t believe you think I would waste a device used to deliver alcohol to my mouth in such a vile manner. Good grief, not even Adoro does that!

   My little boy turns five tomorrow I am baking treats as I type. He said that he prayed today at school. (public I doubt it) I said cool!
   What was your prayer?. He said” I pledge legiance to Hamber Lincoln . I said great!
   (Catholic school next year)

   I was 42 when we had him. I had been married for 23 years ,and had 7 daughters. Imagine my (our) suprise ! People are so stupid. They would say “well you finally got your boy now you can stop.” Usually Catholics would say the worst things.

   I cried when I found out that he was a boy. I hated men until I was 42!!!! God was so good to repair that sin of mine. Now I love men , a lot, and many are pretty wonderful, and kind people. If I would have spoke to some them then I would have found this out sooner. They don’t scare me anymore. Not even the real big ugly ones. I was so stupid.(damaged)

   I NEVER would have even blogged with men until now. Sometimes God can change some people rather quickly when the person is willing, um ,or forced.

   My favorite men are the ones in the confessional line. I love those guys.Oh ,and especially the ones that are so devoted to their families ,and they work so hard for their families to survive. Like my awesome saintly husband does.

   God bless you today Mr.Terry, Ya ain’t so bad, and I am way less scared of you than I was. You ,and your friends are wonderful people.
   How’s my grammer Miss Cathy?
