Cheers! (Because It's Over!)

On Monday night, I attended our annual end of the year banquet for cheerleading. This one was a bit bittersweet for me. I haven’t officially made a decision, but I’m thinking that I may be taking a break from coaching for a while. It’s such a huge time commitment (I won’t even tell you how much I get paid for this gig),  and while most of the girls are sweet, they are also dramatic and kind of needy. I feel like this is the inevitable nature of freshmen and sophomore girls in high school…they just can’t escape it. Plus, the moms can be kind of a mess, too.

Case in point: the banquet  was nice, for the most part...until at the end, when a mom attacked me (read: cornered me and started yelling) for not putting enough pictures of her daughter in the video. Oh, you mean that video I put together in all of my free time after school? You know, the one I couldn’t work on from home because all the pictures were saved on the school network? When I had to go through 25 CDs of pictures from parents and then save every picture individually? And then chronologically put them in order and label them? And would you be willing to assume some responsibility since the CD of pictures you sent me (after the deadline, of course) was BLANK? Nope? Alright then. Thanks for a great year!

 

So, while I ponder my intense career decisions, here are a few pics from Monday night.
