Your Cheer

K, you just shined in your cheer performance last night.

You cheered at halftime of the Texas Tech women’s game against Abilene Christian.

You even had a great little jump-kick at the end!

I wanted to leave at halftime – or at least by the end of the third quarter.

But we stayed and let you sit with your friends.

H even hung out with Hazel.

Of course, we spent a billion dollars on snacks and drinks.

And we stayed to the last buzzer, got home late, got everyone in bed even later…and ya’ll were all wrecked this morning when the alarms went off. 🤣

I’m sorry you do not function on little to no sleep (just like your Pa).

I love you.

Full disclosure, I did not want to go to All Pro Dads yesterday.

It’s before school and I never want to get out of bed.

It was raining.

And you know – all the people I am usually trying to avoid. 🤣

But y’all wanted to go and I’m glad we went.

They served breakfast and talked about gratitude.

The curriculum was interactive between parents and children, so we were constantly asking each other questions and doing activities together.

At one point, us parents were asked to tell our children five things we were proud of them for.

Y’all just beamed when I did.

Maybe we’ll go again next month?

I love you.

It rained all morning which matched my melancholy.

To be honest, I just wanted to go back to bed and spend the rest of the day on the couch with a book.

But the internet is not going to win itself.

And the gym won’t work out by itself either.

Mom pried us out of bed this morning to go to All Pro Dad’s. We had to be at school early, but I think everyone liked doing something different.

Maybe I’ll post about that tomorrow.

I love you.
