The Life of a Dance Mom.

 ...sort of.  We are about halfway through the comp season.  Only two more travel trips to go.  I am going to miss this time with Kendall.  We went to Portland for the first of two Portland competitions this year.  

Step one, get checked in and run to the grocery store for weekend snacks.  Then stretch out and make yourself comfortable.

Step two, get oriented with the hotel and the competition schedule.  Then get ready for competition by taking a million selfies in the mirror.

Step four, eat most meals in costume on the floor of the ballroom.

Step five, order adult beverages and relish that you have nothing to 'really' do for the weekend other than be the beck and call mom for your dancer.

Although, Kendall will tell you that I have it pretty good.  Since she joined dance later in life, I have never had to learn all of the crazy stuff like how to apply false eyelashes and how to pack a full dance bag, as she has been responsible for all of it.
