I am a single monthe of three children. My daughter is 6 and my twin boys are 4. I have been through hell and back in the last 8 years with my children's father , but now my children and I are in a good place in our heads. For all mothers out there single or not you have the hardest job that you will ever have in your life. It's hard and frustrating at times but it's well worth it.

Hey,
OK well I guess I'll cut straight to the chase.
I want to do softball, but I am stuck...
[It would be for our school, so it wouldn't be during the summer]
My dad has been out of work & doesn't drive due to epilepsy and my mom is always working. One of my grandma drives, and the other one sort of does, but only in remotely close locations. (She has picked up my brother when he was sick before [at our school]).
My mom works a weird schedule:
~Monday she works 9-3.30
~Tuesday she works 10-8.30
~Wednesday she works 9-3.30
~Thursday she works 9-3.30
~Friday she works 12-3.30
Another person that would be on the softball team lives right behind me. However, I do not know her that well and would somewhat feel funny asking her to drive me home.
My friend could probably give me rides at times, and there are 2 seniors on the team (who, from word of mouth, are mean!)
I would always have to be picked up back at our school, no matter what time.
I also am not sure if I could do it because even without sports, my grades aren't so good, & I'm afraid they'd be even WORSE if I do something extracurricular.
I really want to do softball, but I'm not sure if I should...
So my question is, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?!?
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP.
-PS. I am a Freshman 14F if that helps any.
Thanks in advance...

Looking at your mom's schedule, she is done by 3:30 everday except Tuesday. Softball would run until after this time. Would your mom be able to pick you up after work? On Tuesdays you could arrange for a ride home. Talk to the coach and tell him your situation, maybe he or she could talk to another girl on the team to help you out. Also about your grades, that is more important then softball. Some schools require a certin GPA to be on sports teams. Just try to buckle down on your school work. Try to do your homework and studying right after you get home from practice because if you sit around for a while you are going to get tired and not feel like getting around to your school work. Hope this helped :-)
