Tonight I went to go see my daughter's volleyball team. She is the captain of the JV team. I really like to see her play, and I think she is very very good. Last year they didn't win any games, this year they have won almost all their games. My daughter has very good grades and she is also in the school's student council. In addition to that full schedule (including four honor classes) she is on the volleyball and softball teams. I was on the swim team in high school, Jayne, the middle daughter, was on the track team one year, and Lindsey the oldest daughter was on the softball team one year ... but I never realized how much time these sports take out of a student's schedule. She has two games a week where she plays in the JV game from 4:45 to 6:30 and then once a week she needs to stay until the end of the varsity game which can go as late as 9:15. After the game she has to go home and eat and then do homework, of course the day she has to stay late is Thursday and she has at least two tests on Fridays. Softball isn't so bad, but still plays twice a week and practices till 6:00 the other three days. The season is almost over and I am glad she isn't in a winter sport so she can have some time off for school. I don't know if she knows how great I think she is doing!
