Welcome to my blog...Exciting huh? Currently I am exhausted!! Last weekend I spent 6 fun filled sleepless days in Anaheim and Disneyland with Aerials all-stars, for the 2009/2010 season nationals. This weekend was tryouts marking the beginning of the 2010/2011 all-star cheerleading season. AND I managed to work Wednesday - Sunday night at NorthBay....Craziness huh?
For those of you who don't know, I sold my cheerleading business "CheerTyme" in September 2008 to a cheerleading and gymnastics gym also located in Vacaville called Aerials. This was probably the best decision I have ever made...EVER!!! Aerials hired me with the merge. Hiring me ONLY to coach has allowed me to get back to what I love doing most...working with the kids......it has been a wonderful experience ever since.
Back on subject, Last weekend was nationals. IT WAS AN AMAZING TRIP!! All of our cheer and dance teams placed in the top 4 in their divisions, we took home 2 national titles and a grand championship!!
The growth in the kids this season has been amazing. These same teams were lower in levels and placing much lower just 6 months ago. I couldn't be prouder of the 63 kids we put on the floor last weekend.
After two days of crazy busy competition I felt about 60 years old and looked almost as bad as I felt. But of course you can't keep me from Disneyland!!! I spent the next two days running around Disneyland with my coaches, parents, and kids. Of course we stunted and tumbled anywhere we could get away with it and had a blast!!
This weekend started the new 2010/2011 season (That's right only 5 days after we ended the 2009/2010 season) Saturday was cheer tryouts and Sunday was dance tryouts. Saturday took about 9 hours to place 75 cheerleaders, split teams, and set up a crazy practice schedule. This was record time compared to the 12+ hours it took us last year. Sunday took about 4 hours to place 27 dancers, split teams, and rearrange the practice schedule we had just set the day before. Oh and did I mention that I worked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night ;-/ Tonight I am holding up better than I did last night. I was damn near a zombie last night. Thank god its my Friday...well at least for my NorthBay job. It's a good thing too...My room, laundry, and PeeJay are in desperate need of some TLC!
Outside of my cheer life, things are also going well. I just mailed off a HUGE check to finish paying off my credit card/collection bills and I am only 1 payment away from paying off my little "incident" that occurred last July!!! Now its time to focus on paying off the lovely IRS who I am so very pissed at. As long as I stick to the plan I should have them paid off by June....then it will be time to MOVE OUT!!! Not that I'm not thankful for my family for letting me live back at home so I can finally get out of debt, but really it's starting to cramp my style! hahahaha.....Hopefully sometime in the near future I will be posting about my move out date!! Stay tuned!!!
