Haven't been here in a while. There are a few things I want to do with my blog, but still haven't figured out how to.
Anyway, went to a dance and cheerleader competition yesterday. It was in Boston and many towns were represented.
What impressed me the most was the many young kids involved in the competition. It was good to see so many teens, 'tweens, college students, high school students, grade school kids, and others partaking in and organizing the competition. I say this because so often we hear about the negative activities of kids. But here was over a thousand young people involved in good, clean fun. My heart danced with them. The music was great and the atmosphere was upbeat and invigorating.
My granddaughter was in the cheerleading competition. She waited a long time to perform, and when it was her time to show her best, I could see something was wrong. We were high in the bleachers looking down on the activities. We could see her crying and Jennifer was making hand motions to me and I could read them perfectly. "Laura's going to throw up!". She went off to the side for a brief moment, then returned to her place in line. She was still crying, but managed to do the cheer. After the cheer, she looked like she recovered and we attributed her feeling of nausea to a nervous stomach. She slept on the way home and seemed to be ok.
Later in the evening, I called to see how every one had recovered from the long and busy morning. Laura had a temp of 102. She was sick and complaining of a sore throat.
I guess she was trying to say that earlier. She felt better as the night wore on, and by this morning, her temp was 99.
