Pep Rally
I was very proud of Shayna today - and yet sad for her too.
Today there was a pep rally that the cheerleaders performed at.
Shayna has worked since the holidays on the choreography and music for this pep rally and has been teaching the dance to the girls in school during cheer class since classes resumed. Several of us cheer mommy's had the privilege of seeing the whole thing put together with all of the girls for the first time last night while they practiced in the park after their last basketball game.
We all were very proud of them and loved the dance! It was great! Today they were very nervous. Particularly Shayna since this was sort of "her baby". Unfortunately, some things didn't go as well as planned and things went a bit awry - Shayna came home pretty upset. :( Something she had hoped she would be very proud of - turned out to be something that she was pretty upset by. It's a long story - and not something I want to go into great detail about in this public forum...but suffice it to say, this was not the experience that she had hoped for - that any of us had hoped for.
I am very proud of the dance that Shayna choreographed - I think it was a great dance - I think the music was well done and I am interested to see what happens when the girls return to school on Monday. There has been a lot of drama lately in this (cheer) department - I'm hoping that the drama will not continue into next week...but I am not holding my breath.
Meanwhile, Shayna is at her dad's this weekend - and I am missing her and the conversations we would be having right now if she were at home. She is such a treasure of a young lady and I am proud to have her as my daughter.

Hopefully, some down time at Dad's will give her a chance to relax and let some of whatever happened go - or at least some of the bad feelings. Hope things go well on Monday!
