When I describe my daughter Beth, nearly 14, to my friends I'll say she's an avid reader, loves music of all varieties, enjoys dressing up for occassions. Dances ballet, and generally tolerates school as the average school attending child seems to be. In fact she enjoys 99% of school. She does love to learn and is fascinated by science and math, odd child.
But in all my years until now, I never thought I'd be sharing this picture. See the girl on the right in the red jersey with a t-shirt underneath.. THAT is Beth. She is playing Girls FIELD HOCKEY for her high school. HOLY COW. We had to get cleats, and a mouth gaurd, she also has shin guards. I'm excited for her, but a little part of me is dying. My notreallyintosports daughter is playing on team sport?!! It's great though, as it's given her about 45 girls she automatically knows on campus!!! And a team big sister. :o)
I'm still not a soccer mom, now it's CHICKS WITH STICKS, I'm a Field hockey mom... who knew??!!

Go Beth!! : ) .... I have a niece who is definitely a girly girl, but for some reason ended up taking field hockey as well. Lol. Well, they do get to wear skirts, don't they. Lol. 'And that same niece ended up being prom queen her senior year. : ) I love the Chicks With Sticks moniker! : ) Good luck to the both of you with this new endeavor. : )
