Yep, I'm still kickin'

Oh, well. I thought I would be able to post last week. And yet I did NOT. KidVenture's finale went off super well. Kids Choir did an awesome job releasing their new CD. During all that madness, I managed to miss my husband for 8 of the first 10 nights he worked his new day shift. Luckily, he is wonderful and completely amazing and didn't complain (much...). And my DVR is so backed up from my lack of time to watch TV that I had to delete SEVENTEEN Jeopardy's. I'm not gonna lie. That hurt a little bit. All right, a big bit.

So, as predicted, Cheer Snob is working her way onto the irritated side of most members of the team. So it appears that the advice to my kid about keeping mouth shut and attitude positive is working. Yay, Cheer Mom. Peaceable, non-petty problem resolution? It's a new age in cheerleading. Speaking of, K came home concerned that some of her pom pom routine is a bit too much booty shaking and not enough pom-pomming. Not entirely sure what I can do about that. Luckily, this is one that will only be performed for other girls at summer camp. But, sadly, the world of cheer involves quite a bit of swinging hips and short skirts. We've talked a lot about modesty in a sport that encourages the opposite. Hello, real life. Didn't think I'd be introducing you to my daughter in the eighth grade, but I guess times, they are a-changin'. I feel like I should have the NBC "The More You Know" playing in the background as I type.

Just a few more school related activities and then all the summer fun begins! Each of the kids will be going to two camps (thanks grammie) and in less than three weeks, Chris and I are taking a little vacation ourselves. Woo hoo. Bring on summer - I can't wait.

Current mood: EXCITED - vacation in less than three weeks!!
