wow you have SUCH a sweet son, you are doing an amazing job with him :)

haha i still think its SO crazy we ran into each other that morning!!

i dont know how swimmers remember their workouts, they just sound so confusing to me!

I would never be able to keep track in a pool, I would be too busy trying not to swallow water.

Amazing the smile on Terrons face, you are doing something right Mom!!

Sweet Terron! Poor buddy. I just hate that for hi...

2009-11-24T18:21:33.656-05:00

Sweet Terron! Poor buddy. I just hate that for him, makes me cry.

Hell, milk the excuse, I would. I hate crazy ass swim workouts. Way to complicated when I'm hypoxic for crying out loud.

One would need an IQ of over 140 to remember this workout. You are perfectly normal, believe me. Great post.

2009-11-24T13:36:15.077-05:00

I blame it on weak brain cells that are killed off by my drinking! Great job with everything that you're doing!

So glad you did pick me out of the crowd though!!!!!!

Great job with the swimming. I'm itching to join masters again but at the moment it's a little out of the price range =(.

You are an amazing parent, Terron is a lucky little guy!

2009-11-24T12:17:48.212-05:00

Terron is a pretty amazing kid. And I can see why - he has such a great role model of a mom! :)

2009-11-24T08:54:10.796-05:00

yeah, great blog posting.

uhm, half a brain crack - LOL. Sometimes I'd like to use that one, but I killed off my brain cells one by one partying. So that doesn't really count.

The things you do are amazing - don't ever stop doing what you do!

I lose count in the pool also! Hugs to Terron.

2009-11-24T08:23:13.976-05:00

I lose count in the pool also!

Hugs to Terron.

I could never do math and I have a full brain. Hm....

2009-11-24T08:09:10.777-05:00

I could never do math and I have a full brain. Hm. That's kind of sad actually.

I am sending some love and cheer to Terron. I know how hard it is to lose a dad.

2009-11-24T07:36:36.357-05:00

I always lose count in the water too and never had surgery so don't feel so bad :) You are lucky to have someone that could count for you.

And Terron is lucky to have you as an understanding, sweet and strong mother!

2009-11-24T07:29:35.351-05:00

what a sweet picture of terron! i hope he is doing well. i'm sure the upcoming holidays will be tough as well, but i know you will both hang in there. you guys are strong and courageous!

lol about your brain excuses - i would soo be doing the same. :) and uh, that swim math... yeah brain op or not, i wouldn't be able to remember it!! i can hardly count 4x800, lol ;)

2009-11-24T05:22:02.303-05:00

I'd be the same with the swim instructions, I can't keep track of that stuff either, can't we just go back and forth until we can't any more??!!!
Wishes for Terron and you to heal soon for your loss.

2009-11-24T03:37:36.731-05:00

I say milk the excuse as often and for as long as you can. I do the same thing with international travel -- Hey, ya' know, I usually know that (or can do that), but this jetlag, it's really bothering me. Problem is, after 3 months, I get these really funny looks like they aren't buying it or something. Go figure!

I'm bad at math and swimming, so I never would have survived that!

You are such a great mom to Terron.

2009-11-23T22:14:43.596-05:00

I'm good in math, terrible in swimming, and average in running. Just thought I'd say that. You are a wonderful woman and an inspiration to me and I'm sure everyone else who knows you. It appears that any setback you encounter just makes you stronger in the long run. Terron is fortunate to have as wonderful a mom as you. Hugs to you and him.

2009-11-23T22:11:53.176-05:00

Me, running and math just don't mix. I can barely keep count of mileage.

Terron is a great young man.

2009-11-23T22:11:48.774-05:00

You lost me somewhere around "3x75m"... and I have no excuse!

How sweet of Terron to think of such nice thing to do for his dad on what would have been his birthday.

You are an awesome Mom!

2009-11-23T21:24:24.543-05:00

Terron is such a sweet boy.

I could not do that math. Heck, I can barely manage minimal math when running.

2009-11-23T21:14:28.350-05:00

Love the photo of Terron. He seems like such a sweetheart. His smile is priceless -- he obviously has a wonderful mommy.

2009-11-23T16:49:14.694-05:00

GOSH, well for what it is worth, I keep forgetting about 9/12/01. Now, what the heck is MY excuse for being forgetful. I can remember faces, but names......not so much.

Your last paragraph is very pertinent during the thanksgiving season.

Holy cow! That's a lot to remember, especially...

2009-11-23T15:58:29.687-05:00

Holy cow! That's a lot to remember, especially while swimming. I always used to lose track of where I was in anything over 100m. I could never remember all that.

And, what a sweet son you have. Such a touching thing to do. Left me smiling. :)

LOL, I'd definitely be using that excuse if I ...

2009-11-23T15:48:23.621-05:00

LOL, I'd definitely be using that excuse if I could! Math while running - not so good. I can imagine swimming is even more difficult based on that workout!

Glad you were able to take T to visit his Dad. He's such a great kid!

Mel, what a sweet boy. I hope you are both having ...

2009-11-23T15:04:17.872-05:00

Mel, what a sweet boy. I hope you are both having a good day, remembering the good times. I've said it before, but I'll say it again, Terron is so lucky to have you.
