I hate being on call!!!

So here I am wide awake. I laid in bed and tossed and turned for 6 hours!! Being on call really puts a damper on your sleep. I was on call last night from 10pm-6am I called at 8pm to see if they needed me and of course the answer couldn't be NO WAY WE ARE SOOOOO SLOW it was just a simple I think we will be ok right now but things change!!!! UGH so to me that means stay up until at least 2am What to do what to do?
So thank goodness the Olympics are on I got in a heavy dose of women's gymnastics and swimming. Let me just say being a former competitive swimmer it is always bitter sweet watching the Olympics especially swimming having had the dream once of standing on the podium as they play are national anthem. It brings chills down my spine and a tear in my eye. As a little girl my dream was to be there!!! I watched the 4X100 men's freestyle relay and let me tell you I was utterly blown away!!!! I have swam in thousands of races throughout my life and I freaked out watching this final!! To start out the french team was talking smack about how they were going to SMASH the USA. The french were the favorites to win. My heart was pounding as I remembered the feelings I would get before competing in a big race sitting waiting for them to call your heat, looking around at the competition trying to get fear and doubt out of your head (My trick was I would sing in my head during the race My all time fav was I'm too sexy by right said fred lol don't ask me why) anyway back to the race Michael Phelps was first off the block the commentators all kept referring to this relay being a make or break moment for him and his race to get get 8 gold medals(nothing like adding a little more weight on the poor guys shoulders!) Michael Phelps smoked the first leg of the race the next two racers were Garrett Weber-Gale and Cullen Jones We lost the lead during the third leg of the race with France ahead by 1/2 a body length and on world record pace. The anchor (or last man to swim ) Jason Lezak was an the block waiting for the touch (I too remember how it was to be anchor and how the pressure to either maintain the lead or in this case steal the lead back rests heavily on your shoulders) Not only was he having to make up time he was also swimming against the best french swimmer. The commentators basically were saying that race was over even with 50m still to race (Nothing like proving them wrong!!) Jason Lezak swam with such heart and proved why he was anchor and team captain with about 25 m still left the french were still in the lead but USA was catching up quickly I was in my room screaming as if I were a teammate on this relay ( what can I say old habits are hard to brake) Jason Lezak out touched the french for the gold and they smashed the world record by an amazing 4 seconds!!!!! For those of you who are not swimmers that is an unbelievable feat!!!!I am not sure if it was the adrenaline after watching the race or the fear of being called in I was up all night. OH WELL at least I got to watch probably the most exciting race i have ever seen or will see GO USA
