HIgh School has begun Oh Mmmm Gee!

Well my little boo has started High School this week. It was a very emotional week for her mommy. It's the end of an era of my daughter being with me everyday. But, being the mom that I am I took my vacation this week so I could volunteer at her high school. I think it helped me calm my nerves a bit.

Tay has settled in to high school. She's getting used to the routine. She has her locker squared away and has been hanging out with some soccer friends and some volleyball friends. However, none of them are in her classes. So she must make some new friends. She says she likes her classes so far. She loves her english and spanish teacher. I'm just thankful that her schedule is fine since there are a ton of kids with scheduling issues. I volunteered in the scheduling department and couldn't believe the numbers but they are all getting worked out.

On the plus side, my little freshie tried out for volleyball this week. While I had no concerns that she would make freshman, she was thrilled when the list came out and she made JV!! It was such an honor to make a higher level team. I just hope she can keep up with the skill level that JV will need. So far she is enjoying practice alot. She has a couple of jr. and sophmore girls that she has connected with so all is well.

Soccer is going well. We are still developing with all the new players and haven't won a game this season, but it's still preseason and we are playing gold and silver teams to our little bronze. I was very proud of my girl last sunday. She is a mid and had a shot and took it. Scored the only goal for her team in the game and the only goal her team made in the tournament. Her coach was shocked and impressed too. She really stepped up and had a great game. I had gotten her a jamba juice before and told the guy to put some energy in it...I should have paid attention to what he added. It clearly helped.

My job is getting ready to start our 50th year of education! We are having a blowout bbq party next week. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again. Another school year beginning. I love seeing the kids until about mid september..then I'm looking forward to june LOL

Have a great School year!
