This Week!?#!

No pictures, nothing cute, I am a total stress case this week! As most of you know Britt is trying out for cheerleader this week at McNeil High. She actually wanted to keep it a secret because if she doesn't make it she doesn't want to have to tell anyone! Soooo.....she has gone to 1 prep clinic and learned the chant and dance. Thanks to her private teacher at All That Cheer, Najja, (who she thinks is "hot") she has the chant down cold! She looks totally cute doing it (if I do say so myself). I played the Nazi mom last night and had her practice the dance over and over a million times until she got it. (our neighbor, who is a current cheerleader there, was so sweet to come over and help Britt remember) She totally knows it now - it's been a long time since I did the 5-6-7-8 thing but I must have counted to a million last night... in 8 counts! I finally let her take a shower (listening to the music of course). She said she was "SO HOT" so we went for a slush at Sonic just before 10 last night. This morning she got up and put the song on her ipod and is taking it to school to practice with a friend during their office aid period. When she tried the dance this morning she remembered it all! WooWoo!!!! I was so proud of her for sticking it out last night and working so hard and best of all she was proud of herself! I have called my mom about how in the heck to deal with the fact that my kid could face such disappointment after working so hard, she quickly reminded me of my semester pharmacology tests and the exit exam from nursing school and then the state board! (not to mention our drill team and cheerleading tryouts in high school!). She totally knows the feelings I'm having this week! So even at 37 years old I still need my mom! Just thought I'd share our week! Hopefully it will all work out - she has surely done her best so far! It was so fun this morning to see her so proud of herself! Off to Hobby Lobby for the hair ribbon I've been instructed to purchase!!!!
