Yesterday was such a stressful “MOM” day, but we made it
through with just slight ego damage. We
are not a sporty family, but Kinlee loves volleyball. Yesterday she tried out for the 7th
grade volleyball team and sadly did not make it. I would like to think it isn’t political and
they just chose kids on their merit, but sometimes one has to wonder . Needless to say I had one sad Kinlee, which
is heartbreaking and I even shed a few tears.
As Jerika read me the letter Kinlee received she got to the bottom of
the letter and it said Kinlee was invited to be the manager of the team,
however. Some of you who know me well
know I was the volleyball manager for years in high school. It goes back to the not sporty thing, but I
really wanted to be where my friends were and they were all on the volleyball
team. And I had just as much fun doing
that and supporting them as I would have being on the team. That being said, I
explained that to Kinlee and told her I would call the coach and see what was
involved and then Kinlee could make her own decision. I called the coach and you could hear a
little bit of fear in her voice (I do have a very small reputation for being a
little confrontational if I don’t agree with something) and I am pretty sure
she was elated to hear that I was just calling to see about the manager job and
not to freak out. I found out the manager goes to all the practices and
practices with the girls and travels with them but just takes stats at the game
instead of playing. I relayed this
information to Kinlee and you would have thought I had handed her the world on
a silver platter. She is so excited, she
just wants to play and what better way to keep her in the loop so she can try
again next year. So, Kinlee will be the
7th grade volleyball manager next year, YEAH Kinlee!!
Part 2 of my day included Jerika getting Sr. pictures for
the Year Book. They go to a local
photographer and have them taken at their studio, which requires an
appointment. However, there was still a
lot of waiting and it was a little stressful there too. We did pick a picture we both liked though
and moved onto our next adventure.
Which was Jerika singing the National Anthem at a
rodeo. I have pictures and story to
follow in a later post.
