Give and take

I recently accepted a head coach position for Hailey's cheer team. It has been nice to leave the house for a couple hours every night. Though when I accepted the position I didn't think about the fact that I would have to leave Preslyn. Yes, she's 6 months old and the longest I've left her for is maybe 10 minutes. This week has gone really well. I've come home and Paul has had the kids bathed and asleep. I don't know how or why I'm enjoying swapping 4 girls for 50 but it's working and a much needed break. I never thought I would hope for the kids to still be awake when I got home. Tomorrow I have to leave Preslyn for 7 hours and I feel sick over it. I'm not sure how she'll do without me for that long and it breaks my heart to think of how she'll feel.  I love being able to take some time to myself but giving up my time with the girls is hard.I know I'll be racing home after training tomorrow to hold all of my little girls!

Go Jets!

Tomorrow is the official start of Hailey's cheer season. She is so excited to be back with her team this year. After their team did such a wonderful job in making it to Nationals in Orlando, FL last year they are all pumped to go again. They have a lot of hard work ahead of them but I'm sure they can do it! Thank goodness the plan is to start fund raising ASAP instead of all of us taking such a big financial hit right before Christmas. We're going to be busy but Hailey loves cheer and works hard at it so it's all very worth it! Starting tomorrow practice is 4 days a week for 2.5 hours of conditioning. I'm considering signing up to help the team but we'll see what happens. I could cheer 12 years ago maybe I still can!
