it finally over . . .

much to our dismay . . .flag football has come to a close. really we aren't really that broken up about it. i'm really kinda glad to seee the season end. caleb and baileigh may have had a good time but i was rather grossed out by the lack or organization on our team.

well . . .i guess it all started at the first of the season when caleb missed the first 2 practices because the coach and team mom didn't call us. when the coach and team mom come from the same house you would think that they would talk to one another about when practices were going to start and maybe we should call EVERYONE and let them know. we do have an answering machine and caller ID. i thought that if was made known at the first practice that i was available to help out that i might get used. it didn't take long to realize that the team mom really didn't care and did NOTHING for the team. we asked several times if there was going to be a homecoming float and if they needed help geting things together. most of the time the team mom didn't even show up to games and practices. so the night before the homecoming parade we were called and told to meet for the parade.

so there was a little about the team mom . . . now cheermom. well first of all there were 5 cheerleaders for the team. we spent a small fortune for baileigh to do this and support her brother. not only were the practices a joke but the cheermom only made it to 4 games. at the other 4 games baileigh was the only cheerleader that even came. i must say i am very upset with VIDOR FLAG and TACKLE. i feel that there is no supervision of the team's coaches, team mothers and cheermoms. it really is a shame.

saturday was the team party . . . we have become pretty familiar with the local skating rink. my kiddos love it. they recieved trophies and hats. there once again was confusion on when, where and how much we needed to pitch in for trophies. no one seemed to have a clue not even the team mom. each kid had an assigned item to bring to the party. we brought plastic forks and 2 pizzas. of course reaminders would have been nice 'cause there were only 4 pizzas to feed 12 kids and about 10 adults. go figure. personally i hope caleb decided to play fall baseball next year and will make it a goal to look for the handbook on being a team mom to pass along.


so i know i've really been dogin' team mom. has anyone else ever been in my situation?

jess :-p
