Hump Day Happies....

I can tell you what I'm not happy about today....3rd place. Yeah TURD. I know I have to stop being bitter...it could be worse. We could have been the 4th place team that sat on the mat after awards crying their eyes out. I'm just a little upset that my girls sooooo did NOT do their best. Maybe it was just an off day...oh wells...on ward and up ward from here!

*Please note that I just got a text from my Rock that said "Baby I love you with all my heart body and soul" I'm swoooooning. Swooning ya'll!! I love him and his random text messages. He has made this Hump Day that much more happy! Now back to our regularly sceduled post....

On top of being the head cheer coach for our Jr. Pee Wee girls, I am also the cheer director for our association. So I oversee 4 cheer squads. Out of the 4 squads 3 of them placed in the top 3 of their divisions. Whoop whoop!! We are moving on to the West Coast Championships in Tucson, AZ. So we get another shot at that first place trophy.

That makes me happy this Hump Day. A trip to Tucson...wow slow week. heehee! This picture also makes me happy:

It's a long standing tradition that each year at cheer comp the football players attend and present the girls with flowers after they perform. This year we had the biggest turn out of football players ever. Those boys were loud and proud...not to mention fighting over who gave the flower to what girl. I'm sooo not ready for that. :S

What's making you happy today?

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!

Go, Fight, Win

This Sunday is it. Our big Cheer competition. My girls moment to shine for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. All our hard work from the last 3 months will be put to the test. Have you seen the movie Bring it On? Well real life cheerleading is just like that.

This is my most stressful time as a cheer coach. This is the weekend I quit each year and say I'm never doing this again.

This is why I come back each year and coach:

B's Cheer picture from last year. This year's picture is in...but she looks like a teenager and I'm not ready for that yet. :D

She LOVES to cheer. Loves it. So I deal with the stress and the drama and the tears each year for her. She works so hard at it too. Even when I'm not there telling her "one more time and use facials!" I hear her in the shower counting away...and playing the competition music in the car on repeat so she can visualize the routine.

I also see her frustration when her stunts don't stick or they have to start over because someone wasn't counting or wasn't paying attention. She is quite competitive that little B of mine. She pushes herself and others on her squad to do their best. Don't get me wrong...she is also pretty quick to mess around and roll her eyes at me. I mean I'm just an old coach lady...what do I know.

But when it comes down to it...I couldn't be more proud of my baby girl. I love watching her perform. I love seeing the smile on her face when she is on the floor. I also love to see the smile on her face when they win big.

So pray for us if you can. Pray that all our hard work pays off. Pray that every single stunt hits and my girls get that first place trophy!!

I'll tweet all about it on Sunday. :S

oh and

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE!!!!
