My Twirl Girl!

Peppermist: MOM! Don’t bring the camera. It’s our first performance! We JUST learned the routine this morning! And you’re gonna put it on the internets, so leave the camera at home!
Me: What, are you freakin’ NEW?! Have we met? Hi. I’m yer mum. I bitch about teenagers on the internet. With pictures. And video. Welcome to your life.
Peppermist: MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

(For the record – she laughed. She thinks you all are imaginary anyway. 🙂 )

So I told ya earlier about the color guard. The first day -she got up RIGHT AWAY. After that, I’ve had to drag her out of bed every day. She even slept through the new old style REALLY FREAKIN LOUD alarm I got her. But being the good mom that I am, I wake her up and get her to practice every day.

And her payback for making me drag her around at so early an hour? This:

For a first performance? they did really well. Especially as they only had a week to practice. Mainly this video is so that we can compare through the season, and see how awesome she – and the rest of the color guard becomes.

At least – that’s my excuse. Bottom line? I just love to embarrass my kids. 🙂
