It's a cheer weekend:
Competing at Nationals
is a stressful time.
Roo hopes for the best.
Perhaps this time the cheer staff
won't bash in her nose.

Yes, that is the bag of ice she had on her face in Florida last month when she fell out of her stunt and the big, burly cheer staff spotter stuck his arm into the melee and CRACKED HER ACROSS THE FACE.
Oh, didn't I tell you about that? Can I just say she consequently bled all over the mat? And the rumor later was that she had knocked out a tooth? *Edited to add: We watched as she started to cry ... and then she put on her cheer game face and finished the routine. Blood and all.*
Can you say freaked-out mom?
Anyway, it's another weekend of non-stop excitement. Hopefully, there will be no blood.

On a completely unrelated (but equally important) note: Have you entered my contest yet? I'm giving away a chance for a 16x20 poster-sized version of your favorite photo.
Go. Hurry up. The deadline to enter (by leaving a comment on THIS POST) is 11:59 p.m. Sunday.

Yikes! I hope for no accidents and lots of great moments instead!
fingers crossed!! good luck roo!!
that was such a lovely haiku......not. poor roo's nose.
Here's hoping that she won't need dentures until she's at least 20.
No, you neglected to mention that!!!!! I would have remembered.
Good luck to Roo and all the other girls with best wishes for no blood from anyone. Keep the big burly cheer guy away from them.
Oh geez! Poor thing.
Crossing my fingers there will be no blood shed this weekend.
Good luck to everyone :)
how exciting! hope she does well and doesn't get hurt this time.
She is such a trooper. Break a leg, Roo! (Theatrical thing, you know. I don't REALLY want her to break a leg.)
No. more. blood. That's all I ask. ;-)
Ah mom. I've been there - sitting and watching your child hurt but not able to go to them. That always stinks.
Good luck to them.
It's amazing when that happens - I've seen figure skaters and gymnasts do the same thing. The show must go on!
Good luck with the comp -
TGIF!

ouch... be careful of that pretty face
I'd write my own haiku about it but I'm heading out the door to the landfill... yeah. thats a friday haiku subject I should write about.
another reason I want to punch people who say cheerleaders aren't athletes!
Go Roo!!!
Hope for the best...and praying for Roo's safety!
You are a strong and a sweet Mom, I don't think my Mom would let me do that! LOL
She is a warrior! I've seen many a boxer give up after a bashed nose. I hope she kicks some butt.
Hell yeah, I bet you were freakin out! I bet the spotter felt awful, though. Not as awful as Roo, but awful.
Here's hoping and praying for a really good competition with a wining performance and NO BLOOD. ;-)
Fingers crossed all goes well this weekend and no blood is shed. I have to be honest when I say I've never thought of cheerleading as being so physical until I started reading your blog. It's amazing what these young people go through!
I hope everything goes great! I always wanted to be a cheerleader, I don't think I was ever chipper enough though. lol
I would have been freaked out, too!
Hope this one goes better!
Ouch! I hope there are no more accidents.
