"Is it wrong of me to hope that she does not get her letter and will have to watch all the freshman softball players waltz by with their new jackets this winter?"
Yes
DD was in Softball, Soccer and Figure Skating and doing well in all. But it was too much for my wallet and watch, even with my mom helping with getting DD to skating lessons. Her mom, my ex, was too busy doing her own things.
I just told her she need to decide which sport to drop, which to do...
I get ads for auto insurance, grocery stores and "Only you can prevent forest fires" from Smoky Bear. Might want to scrub your cookies and browsing history.
Head for the mountains! Enjoy the beautiful drive up to Estes Park, play in the snow up on Trail Ridge drive in Rocky Mountain NP, have a burger at Penelopes in EP and browse the gift shops. Head back via the Peak to Peak scenic byway.
PS. Not to burst anyone's bubble but "The Shining" was...

Do you have your own interests and accomplishments, or are your personal feelings of self-worth...
Me too. I tune out when I hear that. My DD is a natural lefty and it never crossed my mind to have here try to throw RH. Leave her be and work on her natural throwing, fielding and hitting. Perhaps if her hitting is really good she'll make 1B over the slow girls, whom I assume are on the...
We told the girls that their glove should look like a burrito, not a taco, so always keep a ball in it. Might be time to shop for a new glove if that one has developed hinges in the wrong spots.
