Absolutely positively the best weekend ever. Followed very very closely by the World's Condo trip 2009.

I'm not sure when the last time I've laughed that hard is but it's been a while. I will just say that if you see me walking around with a huge McDonald's cup......it might be sweet tea or it might not be. All of my kids know to ask before drinking out of my cup. Mr Tealy might have Capt and Mt Dew in his bottle. My bar bills during the year's of 2007, 2008 and 2009 might have come very close to equaling my hotel bills for those seasons. Oldest flying on SE...yea that'll send you right into AA. After she aged out my bar bills might have gone down. I might or might not have schemed with cheermeup the week leading up to Cheersport as to who would bring the liquor and who would bring the Vitamin Water. I might know that Hypnotique is strangely the same color as Blue Gatorade. (I haven't done this but I might know someone who might wear Teal that told me this) I might know that Acedad and Cheer2Win used to travel with a blender. I have been told that I'm a hard person to find at competitions......it isn't because I'm at the bar. LMAO I also want to add that Mr Tealy and I take turns as to who will be partaking of libations so 1 of us is always capable of taking someone to the emergency room if needed. I also might have a teal bucket that I carry libations in when we travel and it's named for whatever competition we are heading to. (Big Top Party Bucket. Cheersport Party Bucket)
OMG I can't believe that I am admitting this and I really wish this thread was in the parent area but here goes. In 2010 when my Youth Elite team won NCA I might have done tequila shots out of the megaphone. I wasn't the only one.
After winning NCA and getting to the airport the employee's there informed Mr Tealy that there was no way that trophy was getting on the flight home. Their idea was to take a cab to the Fed Ex place down the street and mail it home that way. Mr Tealy very calmly (backed by about 15 Youth Elite kids) explained that these kids had just won this trophy and they had practice on Tuesday and he didn't know what the answer was but the trophy was definitely going home with us on the airplane. The 2 of them brainstormed and decided that taking it apart so each of us could carry a part of it through security was the answer. (In bags) So with a screwdriver Mr Tealy took the NCA trophy apart.....we bagged it up.....the megaphone wouldn't fit in anybody's bag so we carried it through Love Field....on the plane....held it....laid over in Memphis carrying it......drove it home from the Charlotte airport where he put it back together in our living room and the team had the trophy the next day at practice. We might or might not have all taken turns (Kids and Parents alike) wearing the megaphone as a dunce cap. That same year Jr Elite might have left their trophy in the NCA party room and nobody even realized it until we got back to Kernersville. (Everybody thought somebody else had it)

because you're doing hair and make up and lining kids up to go to warm ups and standing in line at concessions and standing in line at the gift shop...

Just thought of another one. Has anybody ever stayed at the Omni during Cheersport?? You know how the inside rooms have a balcony that looks down into the food court in the CNN building? I might or might not request balcony rooms because I put 2 of my kids out there on blow up mattresses. That's right. I use the balcony as a second bedroom...... Don't judge me. (And if you bring a blanket to drape over the balcony at night nobody can see they're even there. Don't need weirdo's seeing my kids sleeping. ) LMAO It's not easy traveling with 5 people.

That is just raggedy. What mother wants another mothers daughter/son to not hit their routine. Honestly, you shouldn't even need to worry about others dropping. Your coaches should make a routine that should hit the score sheet and is so good that none others compare. I guess it's nature for a parent to be competitive, but you should go into a competition knowing that your kids will hit their routine and that they have the skill it takes to end up on the top.

So anyways. The Omni is the best! Nothing like a quick walk to the venue... Never used the balcony for a bedroom before (bc boys have always been banned from our Atl trip) but I'm not above it!

When DragonCon was held at the Omni in '89, I was on the Staff and working Security. The Con suite was on the top floor in one of those balcony room, and the view was AWESOME. I can totally see putting a couple kids on a blow up mattress out there, it'd be a nice place for them. Could get a bit noisy if there was a celebration going on, but mostly I think it could be good.
