Ah, you know I am a sucker for a good sports metaphor--especially when a group of girls battled past discouragement to become champions. Good stuff, Keri.
P.S. Dis I ever tell you about the women's indoor soccer team I goalied for? All of us had small children at home and were trying to get back in shape. Several of us (myself included) had never even played before. Over the course of several seasons, we only won one game, but oh, we had fun together, running around and getting sweaty and listening to the cheers of "Go, Mommy!" from the bleachers. We called ourselves Postpartum Aggression. 😉
Sherry, omg, I love that team name. I also did a mom's soccer league briefly. Melanie asked "can I yell at you?" because I was a pretty vocal sideline parent for her! She had a blast yelling "go get that ball, Mommy!" And it taught me some good life lessons about being a little quieter as a spectator at her games!
