For the Sisterhood on the Sidelines, a New Season But Old Rules

bleachersHEADING BACK TO THE BLEACHERS, as our children are heading back to school, reminds me that last year we had some issues. But as it does each year, September gives all of us a brand clean slate on which to write. Our kids have changed over the summer: They’ve gotten taller, had braces put on (or taken off), have moved up to JV or Varsity. And us? Well, hope as our kids might, we haven’t changed all that much.

But then again, we’re not supposed to. We’re the adults, and right about now that noise heard all over the Northern hemisphere is us, getting out our tush-cushes, filling up our thermoses, and throwing our stadium chairs into the backs of our cars. And with all that to do, who could possibly change, as well, especially since we’re back so soon? So here we are again, kids–the Sisters on the Sidelines–and we are every bit as embarrassing as we were last year.

Gotcher pom-poms, sisters? Your foam fingers firmly in place? Let’s get our game on. Yeah, again.

Have you forgotten the rules we lived by from last year? Not to worry.

Got ‘em right here.
