Tivo is awesome

Every day I am learning more and more about tivo and I am loving it! Sorry McDonald's but they deserve the I'm Lovin' It slogan so much more! lol

11 days and counting!

I am so excited. The girls are about to go to their first competition in just 11 short days. At first we didn't know if they were even going to be allowed to go because they're not ready. I wanted them to do it either way because they're a bunch (9 at the newest count) of 4 and 5 year old little girls who are used to practicing in a little gym and then stick them out on a huge competition floor with a lot of people screaming and yelling and bright lights.... well I'm sure you get the picture. So keep your fingers crossed for them and I'll post the results. Plus I'm sure a cute picture or two of them in their uniforms.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

I am so excited. My husband calls me on his way to work and tells me to look up this date on a website, and asks me when do tickets go on sale and how much. Much to my surprise I pull up an ad for the "World Famous" Lipizzaner Stallions! Yeah now hopefully we can go but at least I know that John is trying to buy tickets. Yeah!

Another cheerleading tuesday

You know the thing that mother's are always telling you about how if you have a problem with someone you should talk it out with them - hate say that it does work. Alicia and I were having some issues with the coach, few of the things that she was saying and the way in which they were said was just really rubbing me the wrong way. And today wasn't a good day for that anyways, I was tired and cranky. So I took a mini walk, vented a little to Alicia, was short with the team parent (I really need to tell her that I am so very sorry), and then finally let Alicia talk to her. Alls well that ends well and I do feel better about it. So hopefully some things can change and in fact already have for the better.
I'm not sure if it's official or not but we were asked to help out with the goodie bags the girls get at a competition and then to help out with the parent spirit things. That's awesome and I'm really excited to be actually doing something with my time then watching the girls and my bum slowly going numb on a metal chair.
Of course, I am completely blaming my inability to sleep tonight on the fact that I was checking out some ideas for all of the above. I believe that the Oriental Trading Company will be an excellent resource for the girl's goodies. Perhaps look around in the local dollars stores too.
And the most exciting part is that the girls have gotten some of their uniform! I am so excited, I can't wait to take pictures of them. All that is left to get is the turtleneck piece, bloomers, and then the socks. She already has the hair bows that we're going to use too. I must ask Alicia to help me out in learning how to put curlers in.
