You know you're a future cheer mom when the thought of not being a cheer mom when you're older makes you sad (I can't even imagine not being involved with cheer someway or another after I graduate from college!)

Make bows and sell them on a stall at competitions so you have an excuse to go? I'm thinking about it ;)

Your checkbook register tells the whole story. Cheer store, Cheer competition, gas, hotel, food.......

You are trying to figure out the likelyhood that the gym owners will let you direct deposit your tax return into the GYM's account for next years expenses. I mean, you wouldn't want to be tempted to spend it on anything else, right?!

you know your a cheer mom (my mom) when you wear your daughters practice bow in your hair to competition along with their velour, and you get your nails french tipped with glitter to match their colors <3
also, you know all their voiceovers, and when you go to NCA, you grab your daughters hand and run them to the arena to watch top gun, world cup, stingrays, and cheer extreme with them
one more thing, you know what all the skills are. stunts, tumbling, jumps etc. <3 you gotta know it all to survive in the cheer world!

Ack, I did this yesterday! I was holding my CP's bow on my wrist, and I was tired of holding it so I put my hair up with it. Didn't realize it until after I had been out running errands with a cheer bow in my hair.

When you start a cheer-related business so you can deduct a good chunk of what you spend on cheer and travel as "marketing"!

When you're so engrossed in cheer you don't realize your city's spring soccer starts in less than a month. :)

You love THE FIERCE BOARD!
You pay attention to your friends schedules too.
