be a a good [insert sport here] mom

I love summer swim league, but it is so much work compressed into 6 weeks. I’m looking forward to the end :D

Little guy had baseball games Tuesday & Friday, swim meet Thursday. Daughter had Softball tournament all day Saturday. It is no wonder our yard looks like ((&(#&. We are never home :(

in the purplefiber universe. Friday night – high school swim meet, Sat early am – 3rd grade basketball game, all day (and deep into the night) Saturday – softball tournament.

And I wonder why I never get anything done around here?

as basketball and swimming are in full swing now. I’ll cover them all here.

thank goodness. The travel team is taking a little break. No practice for a few weeks. Yay!

We lost in the state sectionals. Oh well – it was a good run and we were very proud of our girls.

No break though – swim practice starts next week and travel ball picks up again. It never ends.

Do:
Get to park early not in the middle of the 2nd inning
Wear team related colors
Cheer on all of the girls – not just your own
Support the concession stand (conflicts with a few of my health related goals)
Help out where needed – worker bees always appreciated

Don’t:
smoke
make nasty comments to the umpires – it probably won’t help improve his/her vision of the strike zone
whine about the coaches or the other players
make derogatory comments when someone messes up
complain but never help out
