{no "rah rah"}

aaahhh.....i know that some of you have just been hanging on the edge of your seats, or Not!! But either way, i thought i would update you on the cheer results for poor little lex... She was crushed last night with the cheer results, now before you all think that she walked away with nothing...not true. She did get picked up for 2 teams, but they were 2 teams with underclassmen and she and only one other girl are in her class. So, she is very, very upset. She was crying and saying that she felt 2nd best and there is some "humiliation" with this because all of the other girls are going on to Varsity and she should technically be on Varsity. I asked her if she filled out her info correctly and she said Yes. So, I don't know, I don't get it. Last night she was crying that she just wanted to quit and not do it, that all of this stress and anxiety wasn't worth it for THIS. She didn't want to go to school today and tell anyone what she got picked up for. So, i don't know what to do. Mark was getting so mad at her because he thought that she should be grateful that she got picked up at all because there were some girls that didn't get anything, but I had a hard time not getting mad at him. Mind you the cheer results didn't get posted until 11PM, so all of this drama is going on until midnight. Why they just don't say they'll be up first thing tomorrow @ school. She was a wreck after try-outs yesterday, which she said she nailed. so, i don't know. anyway, that's the news here. I will post later. i have the day off, i was actually planning a "contratuations" party for her tomorrow, but now I'm not so sure as to what to do...???? any suggestions........

Sorry to hear that Lexi got disappointed. That is hard when your baby is hurting and you can't fix it for her. Tell her to don't give up. If she gets out there and does her best maybe she'll catch the coach's attention and get moved up where she belongs.

Aw, so sorry Lex is so upset. I know that disappointment is part of life, but it's so hard to watch your child learn how to deal with it. Wish I had some words of wisdom for you, but I don't. I'll just watch and learn from your experiences for when my own little DNK starts dealing with stuff like that. {{hugs}} to lex..
