A Mother's Addiction: A MAID is Born

This month I became a MAID (Mothers Addicted to Irish Dance). It’s not that I wasn’t already addicted to Irish dance, or that I hadn’t yet been a mother, but for the first time, one of my children began competing in Irish dance. I could be wrong, but I think it is more the norm for a MAID to begin taking lessons as a result of seeing her children dance. Not so in my case. I began dancing years ago and I have so much fun that one of my children has decided to join me.

All I can say is that you seasoned MAIDs have been holding out on the rest of us. I never thought I could be happier for someone else’s success than I am for my own.  As I sat on the edge of my seat at the Crossroads, Utah Feis (Power Academy) last Saturday, waiting for the results of the Reel Special, I was much more nervous for my son than I ever am for myself. And when they announced my son’s name to receive a trophy, I was so happy that I had to refrain from an impromptu jig!

Competing alongside my son opens up a whole new world, one filled with more joy and, yes, more stress than I would ever have experienced had I danced alone.

  8. lol a few of the remarks bloggers post really are a bit spacey, once in awhile i think whether these people realistically scan through the pieces of content and posts before making a comment or whether they simply gloss over the blog post title and write the first opinion that pops inside their brain. in either case, it really is useful to read sensible commentary occasionally in contrast to the identical, old opinion which i quite often notice online.
