Okay, so I know it 's the Holiday Season and I should be feeling all warm and fuzzy with all the festivities. However, anyone who knows me; knows it's not easy for me to feel like that. Since I'm already being a little on the Grinchy side, I thought I'd just let everyone know what was on my mind!!
I H.A.T.E. the kindergarten pick up & drop off! I know you're all shocked and amazed that I have something raunchy and negative to say, but I can hold it in NO longer!!! Holy hell, it's like all the kindergarten moms (of course except me!) have LOST THEIR DAMN EVER LOVING MINDS!!! **Okay Wendi I know you're there too tell me if it's like this for the PM session...
Our kindergarten drop off/pick up area is not ideal. It's not very large, and it curves around actual parking spots. So, you would think people would use their heads. But alas, you would be wrong! The area in the actual drop off curve can hold probably 8 to 10 cars. IF, they pull all the way forward to leave room for others. (I'm sure you realize now that THEY DO NOT do this!) The "sweet spot" is in the smack dab center of the curve. So as you can probably guess lovely Moms in mini vans and SUV's PARK right there! Yes I said PARK! They park their cars in the middle of the area, and even tend to GET OUT to run into the classes to grab kids. And, it's never just one kid, NO NO don't be silly, it's the lady who is running car pool for about 8 kids. Then she runs out and has to strap them all into their booster seats and find the perfect location to store their backpacks full of very fragile construction paper on the 30 second drive home!
The main problem is, that they are rude and inconsiderate. But, really it's that if you don't see that the car is unmanned before you make the little turn in behind them, you're stuck! So, you are STUCK behind overly cautious must have been a flight attendant in her former life and is safely stowing away kindergarten carry ons for 15 minutes, while a HUGE line of cars in forming behind you and a perfectly good empty stretch of pick up area is sitting EMPTY! WHY DO THEY NOT PULL ALL THE WAY UP? WHY? Here is another question for the masses, WHY DO THEY FEEL THE DROP OFF/PICK UP ZONE IS A PARKING ZONE? If you're getting out, which isn't necessary because the teacher aides bring the little stinkers out to you, but if you need to get out PARK IN A PARKING ZONE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!!
Okay I'm done. Well until I make the trip tomorrow and gold mini van is PARKED THERE AGAIN! She is of course right in front of the black suburban who BOTH think they are too good for the sign that reads; LOADING ZONE ONLY, NO PARKING!!!!
**Deep Cleansing Breath....
** I only wish the above picture gave it justice but of course while trying to be sneaky in taking the picture it had cleared out and now looks like there is all the space in the world. Trust me there isn't!
What the crap?
This is a favorite!
What's a Mom to do?
