And turn right onto “Life as we know it is over” Avenue.
Admittedly, athletics in our house have so far been limited to recreational leagues and school teams.
School teams are my favorite.
You put them on the school bus at 7 in the morning and you don’t see them again until 5 that night.
They come home tired and hungry with homework yet to do.
Easy Street.
But that all changed this past weekend.
Jordie tried out for three different Travel Volleyball Clubs.
She faced tough competition but two of the three teams offered her a spot.
She is now a Kansas City Twister and needless to say, she is thrilled.
Club volleyball is a commitment.
Practices 2 to 3 times a week at a facility 25 miles away.
Weekend tournaments, most of those out of town.
Large fees and teammates who are strangers.
Life as we know it is over…
At least until April.
PROGRAM NOTE:
All of the above was written earlier in the day.
It is now 10pm and my mushy, nostalgic mood has changed.
Maybe it has something to do with the car that rear-ended me on my way to Jordan’s basketball game or maybe it has more to do with the fact that we just got home from the Emergency Room.
No, not because of the car accident.
It was the elbow Jordie took to her temple going after a rebound.
Easy Street my ass!!!

Truth be told, I wouldn't have taken her at all. You know my 3 day rule...if it still hurts 3 days later, off to the Doc we go. I was "guilted" into the ER by her Coach. (Liability issue I'm sure!)
