Heartbreak

Well here is goes. My daughter did not make the volleyball team last night. My heart just broke for her. I am very proud of her though she didn't break down in front of her friends or her father and I until we made it to the car to go home. She is one tough cookie. What pisses me off about the whole thing is how unfair these school activities really are. First they charge you to try out. That cost $25.00, they don't come out and say they are charging you for this. But what else is that cost going for because you don't get it back if they don't make the team? The other thing is all the girls who made the team were either friends of the coach or were on her team outside of the school. Next was how she told the girls who didn't make it. She took them into the hall way told them and then said they had to sit in the hallway until there parents arrived to pick them up. Meanwhile the others are in the gym having a good time and playing. The doors were wide open for those who didn't make it to see. I cried with her and my motherly instinct wanted to kill the coach. I knew there was a chance my child wouldn't make the team and that's fine but how it was done was completely wrong. I want to do something fun with her this holiday weekend and take her mind off of it. Something really has to be done with these school activities. No wonder the kids are really mean in school now to each other.

Anyhow I am looking forward to this weekend and hope there is no drama. It would be nice to have just one weekend with no drama of any kind. Maybe I will play the lotto tonight and my life can change. Keep your fingers crossed. :)
