Progress
Good morning.
One last Baton performance this year, and then we get a bit of a break.
Coach was steaming yesterday and just barely keeping it in. A whole bunch of kids showed up at Dress rehearsal without their dress. They said their moms told them to tell her they paid good money to do this, and their kids shouldn't have to change where it was cold.
Okay we paid $25 for a YEAR. This involves FREE $80 uniforms.
Tell me exactly what they paid for??
And if your going to pay for something don't you think you should do it the way the person you so called paid wanted?
Oh my word.
And then their were the rest of us who were doing what we were supposed to. And yeah the gym we currently uses gets cold, but it was much warmer t his week then last week. Trust me on this!
People are IDJIOTS.
I've seen the roster and lay out for baton for January. The kids are going to be moved around to different squads, and it looks like it will be a lot of fun, and they will be more paired with similar style of twirlers.
Parents. *shrugs* My opinion is the coach volunteers about 35 hours a week to do this. She gets NOTHING out of it except the kids smiles. I will bend over backwards to make her happy thank you very much!

On that note. Christmas is beginning to look a bit more like Christmas. I have both of my Awana trees I bought set up. They look beautiful. I have a few lights up as well. I haven't put a single nativity scene up. This is the latest I've ever been. *blushes* I almost contemplated not doing it, but I must. Just because it doesn't feel like Christmas means I need to concentrate on the reason for Christmas even more. So tonight I will dig them out, maybe even this morning.

i had my nativity out but then had to pack it back up
i think i'm going to take it to my mom's and set it up there. it just doesn't feel like Christmas without it.
You do the things that make Christmas Christmas for yourself and if you love it and enjoy it and it helps your spirit that is good.
I'm with your opinion on baton. $25 for a year of baton is crazy cheap. We pay $55 for 10 weeks (1 hr. 15 min. sessions) of gymnastics. Swimming lessons are similar and hockey is more expensive. If you live in the city the cost is at least double that. All of our coaches for gymnastics are paid as well (probably not much but they need to have a certain level of training).
There are always that kind of kids and parents. It is very possible that the kids said that just to cover for not haveing the 'right stuff' Finally getting the rest of Christmas put out today, and maybe tomorrow. I have to give my foot some rest off and on. ha. Be happy and have a great week. Cyn
