Waiting

Today, we signed our kids up for Swim Team. This may not sound remarkable, but here in our neighborhood the swim team is a hot commodity. So hot, that they limit enrollment. So today, Trent, dutifully spent 3 hours waiting in line so we could get on. They let those on the team last year have the first spots. Their registration was at 2:30 p.m. Those who are new get to register for whatever is left at 4:30 p.m. The thing is -- after the returning swimmers register, there are often only 1 or 2 spots remaining. Trent went and got in line a little after 1:00. He was the second in line. And we did it, we got on. We got 2 kids on in fact! Yeah!!! He said it was pretty long just sitting there and that he was the only dad waiting in line. . . the rest were all Moms.
