Anyone else have a 13 year old that can't stand them

So the oldest is leaving this morning (already left actully) for church camp. That topic is for a whole other blog- cause I can tell you it's not the camp I went to as a kid..lol So I post this super nice post on facebook and tag her and her two other friends and say something like I hope that you girls have a great week at the beach I will miss you alot. And I get hit back with a- Mom do you think you could stop commenting on my facebook, don't tag me in stuff, and comment on my status it's annoying!
So I am shocked for about 30 seconds, hurt for about 30 more, and then well I'm not going to lie I am pretty pissed. I am sure that there are kids out there that they wish there parents cared about them, cared about there day, wants to know whats going in in thier lives. But oh no, not my child. She just blew me off- and was nasty about it. And it's not like I am one of these parents that it "all up in her business" just a civil converstion once in awhile about how things are going, or a thanks Mom I am glad you care enough to ask. Or even a thanks for all you do for me, like running me to practice and being at all my games, and being at all my compations. Oh and basicly for being my biggest fan and cheering me on in everything I do.

TEENAGERS- Fun times!!!

I read a great blog yesterday and wanted to share it.

My wonderful friend Lisa writes a blog also- and the last one that school wrote was a great one for us Cheer Moms- I think it's even a great read if your not a Cheer Mom!!

So Wed night I am in the car, and running late to practice- god forbid I can't get my kids there ontime. This isn't a gym rule really - this is a me being a crazy cheer mom...lol I am going as fast as I can, and well I kinda ran a red light- there was no cars coming, no police that I could see- and my baby needed to get to practice!! I imeditly thought of Lisa's post and laughed.
Needless to say, we were a whole 2 mins late and G had a wonderful practice. Even with her coach that she love being at the beach!!


I am super proud of my girls, it seems to me that the month of June has been something great for them, it's like something has changed in both of them. K is working her tumbling and is inches away from throwing her BHS on the floor- her jumps are higher this month and shes progressing so well. G is working on things, listening to her coaches ( she really like them all- but she is very attached to her one coach) and I think she is going to be more then ready for her ind next season and I am super excited for both of my girls!


It's like a breath of fresh air in our gym right now, the girls are progressing so fast and it's so positve for them!! They are happy, working together as a team and looking better then ever!!

We are so blessed to have a coaching staff at CCA that puts our children first, they are always there to support them no matter what. And I am very proud that my children are a part of that!!

Here's a Question on My Blog

I am posting a QOD over here on my Blog-

What is one thing that you could not live without at comp's- what makes it easier on you as a parent?


I am going to post a great post, but it will be later today :) I am trying to get a Newbie Parent's guide to comp season going- so your input will be great!!

Why must people just hate on my Blog?

Okay, so here's my own personal question of the day- why must people hate on my blog? I do relise that I don't have a normal "Mommy" blog- and I also realise that people do have some intresting thoughts about cheerleading, esp "allstars" but hell I am still a good read...lol I am funny, and snarky and I come up with some good stuff. So why is it that I struggling to get readers, for real!!!

Last week of school- All kinds of fun..lol

So this is Kate's last week of school, we should have been done on the 9th. But since it snowed EVERY Friday for what now seems like weeks and weeks, they are not done until Friday.
It's been a pretty busy week for us, were moving, Kate had her final school tryout, Gracie got sick, now Kate's sick. So needless to say it has been an exciting week..lol
I don't care what anyone says, Moving is not fun. I would even go as far to just flat out say it sucks!! I hate it, and I hate having to do it. I think I have done just about everything I can to get out of moving- which brings me to my next point...
Gracie's coughing, so I take her to the Dr. And well she has strep AGAIN. Like I said, all kinds of fun at my house this week..lol Needless to say, I don't think that Gracie will be keeping her tonsill's much longer since this is the 2nd time in a month and a half that she has had it.
So now Kate is sick, and well she has missed 13 days of school- and you can miss 14- so I just found that today is day is day 14. I thought that she was on day 15, and well it would have just not been fun for my all A's student to fail, because she got sick during the last 2 days of school. Again- fun times.
School Tryouts went fine, Kate will be cheering football again this year- even though she said she didn't care, and was only trying out because I was "making" her- I think that shes happy that she made it because I know that she would have mad if she didn't.
So all in all it has been an eventful week at my house, that's why I haven't been writing and why I haven't been around!
I do have a question though for Moms of Middle schoolers that cheer, Do you guys have one tryout for the whole year, or do you have 2- one for football and one for basketball?

We had a really great QOD today on Cheer Moms!

How do people feel about favortism in their gyms...do they feel it happens...doesn't happen. Whether it be in the forms of kids moving onto teams there not ready for but it seems to happen because of what there parent(s) do for the gym or perhaps within teams...maybe certain kids being treated greatly while others are treated not so fairly?


So I am going to answer this here on my blog, number one cause I think it's a wonderful question and can go many difrrent ways, and number two lets not all forget about the wonderful fact that I am not suppost to be on facebook from work...lol


I don't think that there is any need for favirtism. I know that it happens in some gym's- I am lucky that it really doesn't happen in ours. Our girls get moved up based on the needs of the team, their skills level, and generally who is going to be the best fit, and do the best job.
I would be upset as a parent if any kids, including my own where being treated any diffrent then others- rather is was in a good or bad way.
My own daughter went through this last season in a kinda diffrent way, she was asked to crossover to another team mid season. Because they needed a base, and because she could learn what she needed to in the time that she needed to learn to it. Which ended up being a week. Alot of girls, and even some parents got really upset that she was asked to "move up" even though her tumbling wasn't at the skill it needed to be at. And I can tell you first hand that it wasn't fun to deal with. But we delt with it, I ignored alot of it. I told Kate to ignore alot of it, and if it got bad for her to go to her coach about it. And well basicly she had earned her place to move up, and it was no one elses place to say anything to her or me about it. If they had questions or problems they could take that with the coach and she could explain it if she wanted too.


Happy Friday everyone!!
