Well, tonight we went across the street to the high school to watch B cheer with the "big girls" at a football game. It also happened to be a night where they were honoring a fallen firefighter who went to school there, you may know him, or of him at least, Ryan Hummert. It was quite moving to see all of the cheerleaders wearing t-shirts with his number on it and the four local elementary schools raised over $1000 dollars from the kids just today to help with a scholarship fund in his name. It is nice to know that the community will always come together in honor of someone special.
As for B....she was highly entertaining, as usual:) She jumped and cheered and screamed her little heart out and loved every minute. L was able to ...wander with her friends and she had a great time as well, the only kink in her night was that we wouldn't let her stay for the whole game! However she does have vb early and it was hot and starting to wear on me a bit...but I assured her that soon enough she would be walking across the street by herself to the games and we wouldn't even be there.....well maybe we still will, but not in the same parent watcher-overer capacity. Anyhoo...made me realize just how fast they are growing up and how very much I don't like that one bit!
As for me....the days of pain have begun, although it hasn't been too bad so far(still I did just knock on wood) but I can at least look forward to not having to go through it again either! I am looking ahead to everything to come and thinking way too much about it as always but one thing I have thought a great deal about is next month's "Think Pink" campaign. If you haven't committed to doing that for/with anyone yet..mark the 24th off on your calendar. It will be my 36th(egads!) bday and I would like to celebrate it by supporting breast cancer research through Komen and the "Think Pink" campaign. If you would like to join me, you pledge between $1 and $5 and then wear pink on that day...its really pretty simple, but it means so much.
Sooooo...if you want to do this please email me or if you don't have my email, leave me a "comment" here as they are totally confidential and you can give me your email so I can send you more information and I will never post it on the blog.
I will post more on it soon.
Thanks for all of your thoughts these past few months, they truly have carried me through.
Blog ya later-
