I know it has been a while....but I will have to update all the activities of our busy lives later. Right now I just need to vent!

Why is it, that some people work so hard for things and want something so bad while others could care less??? Most of you know that I am the cheerleading coach at the high school in the county I teach in. We have our first competition this Saturday (which for the record....we are not ready for) and out of 20 girls, I had 15 there and 3 left early today! If they want to win a competition then they have to come to practice. I am coaching this sport because I love it and I think that the squad has the potential to win but I honestly believe that they don't care. I am so tired of sitting at practice and saying the same things over and over again and it not sinking in! I am going to keep putting my all into every preactice, game, and competition and then I am done! I don't deserve to sit at home, school, etc and think and stress about this! I should be able to come home and relax at night but I can't because I care too much and want them to succeed.

Everyone have a wonderful week! Hopefully, mine will get better!

I know you are thinking..."Courtney posted twice in one week...what is going on!!!"

I am sitting here at home thinking about what I can do to keep from getting the flu. It is spreading in Monticello like wildfire! We have a bunch of kids out at the primary school...not to mention Kyle has kids at the middle school out....and I have 5 cheerleaders that are sick!! Any suggestions on what I can do to keep from getting it?? I have washed my hands for two weeks at least 5 times a day and today I sprayed myself with Lysol. maybe all these things combined will keep me well!

I hope everyone has a great week and stays well! =)

I only have 2 more days of school this week! I think we should have Mondays off every week...I would take Tuesdays off too!

Another week...

It went by as usual...practice 3 days for me and every day for Kyle! But the end was GREAT! We went to Pike County for our football game this week and WON in overtime 28-27!! I was so proud of my girls and the team for the way they cheered and played! The coaches did a great job calling plays that seemed to work for our team! Here are some pictures from the game.


Our run thru - right before the team came running on the field!




Kyle running on the field!! =)

My girls doing the dance to fight song after we scored a TOUCHDOWN!

After a great game Friday night, Kyle and I got up and drove to Helen to meet my parents for the long weekend! It was a much needed break and trip! We need to get away and have some time together. We had so much fun...we enjoyed each other's company and enjoyed spending time with my parents, too. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.




Kyle and me on the carriage ride =)

We went to Babyland General Hospital...where Cabbage Patch Kids are born!

We walked through the North Ga Corn Maze....I wouldn't have made it without Kyle!

After the corn maze, we spent the rest of the afternoon playing a game of putt-putt with my parents. Then we went to dinner on the Chattahoochee river, just Kyle and me, while my parents went to a restaurant on the other end of town. We had such a good time. I hope we get to go back again soon....or at least have a weekend together like that again soon. Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday weekend!
