Yesterday officially started the Jr. High girls Volleyball season here in Illinois. I was so excited pretty much nothing but laundry got done yesterday. Which was a good sign for me. After last year’s disappointing and draining season, I didn’t know how I’d react to a new season of volleyball. Needless to say, I have [...]
