I don’t kno...I understand where you’re coming from. I don’t know if it is just stereotyping, or maybe the influence of media, that has caused most of us to tend to place cheerleaders in a small box and classify them in a certain way. I think it's normal for you to be reluctant with regard to your daughter joining the cheerleading team. But I am glad that you are trying to support her and are actually going out of your way to show it. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.uesports.com/football-uniforms.php" rel="nofollow">Jennine Stalder @ UE Sports</a><br />Jennine Stalderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328150611476755205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-56975382845713846622013-11-21T07:28:58.427-05:002013-11-21T07:28:58.427-05:00"Honestly, I should have just entitled this o..."Honestly, I should have just entitled this one, The Post In Which I Offend the Whole World."<br /><br />BAHAHAHA!<br /><br />Seriously though, this post is really sweet. :) Aprillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863806034651005154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-2112126315982918172013-11-07T11:06:46.289-05:002013-11-07T11:06:46.289-05:00First, loved running into you as I was calmly leav...First, loved running into you as I was calmly leaving Trader Joe's (dolla store...) yesterday with my whole life perfectly put into place. Perfect timing God. :) Secondly, I cried at the pictures of your big girl so grown up! I had a major flash back to her being a little toddler in your house by the highway. Great job mama on loving your cheerleader. My cheerleader is now an awesome Michigander mom of 3 kiddos- one of which I am certain wants to follow in her footsteps. She actually now that I think about it, is probably one of the greatest life "cheerleaders" I know. Also, her husband comes home from Afghanistan today so we are majorly stoked around here. Wish I had some poms!!!

It's been said numerous times -- you ...Scooper,<br />It's been said numerous times -- you have a way with words. Engaging, descriptive, cathartic and comedic are just a few.<br />Thank you for this post, it is so timely as we struggle with choices our high school gal is making that go against our baggage and preconceptions of life in high school.<br />Love, love, love how you bare your thoughts for us with such flair. Your mom is right-- stand up could be another career choice :-)<br />Hugs xoxoxoxoxLynne in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062796052551511879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-34151233898715978802013-11-06T16:36:20.253-05:002013-11-06T16:36:20.253-05:00Marian,
This post could be written right alongsid...Marian, <br />This post could be written right alongside my boy's football season. I photographed their City Championship game that started an hour late in inch deep mud, totally understanding the game of football. Watching those boys get knocked down just to get back up again, caked in mud, aching from every hit, bloody, banged up and still fighting on a cold Florida night. Something in me shifted. I had admiration and sheer joy for those boys and the coaches. We had 14 players by the end of the game. 11 play on the field at one time. The other team must have had 35 players. Our kids played hurt. Played hard. Played way past the allotted time for the game into double overtime winning 19-18. The joy of winning was overwhelming. <br /><br />Tripp had just completed 12 miles and 26 obstacles in the Tough Mudder in Tampa. He was riding that high as he drove straight to the boy's game. <br /><br />It was a good weekend for the Worthys. Full of testosterone and masculine victory!!!!<br />Praise God for teaching us through our kids (and our husbands)<br /><br />And I stood on the field with them, grasping my camera tightly trying to capture every moment!<br />You can see the night in pictures here:<br />http://raisingthreeknightsandaprincess.com/2013/11/city-champions-2103-star-ready-gators-14u/juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381880428018520967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540171404871181369.post-81538658569317701442013-11-06T09:57:40.240-05:002013-11-06T09:57:40.240-05:00I haven't laughed this hard or this long since...I haven't laughed this hard or this long since the family Food Lion episode!!!
