Elementary schools are built for kids, right? That means short people who don't need a lot of manuvering room, right? So why on earth would you try to cram 450 kids, their parents and their siblings into the tiniest space possible and eat ice cream? They could have had the ice cream part of the 'social' outside on the enormous playground. I might now have felt like I needed to put my arms over my head to walk. Sniff, sniff, you have a freshman. I think I'm going to feel the same way. blue bamboos last blog post..<a href="http://asecrettobluebamboo.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/how-many-times-can-i-pump-my-fist-in-the-air/" rel="nofollow">How many times can I pump my fist in the air?</a> A thought occured to me last week, during our ice cream social.

Big Daddy was out of town, so I had Jake's, Drew's and then Emily's over at Crest. Actually, Emily's was first ... but you know what I mean. Parking? Oh the hell. I parked at Crest and told the kids they should practice the bus path ... HA! I don't know how they do that when it's 10 degrees out. I was out of breath on the nice 80 degree day. I'm showing how out of shape I am, huh? :) An Iowa Moms last blog post..<a href="http://www.aniowamom.com/an_iowa_mom/2008/08/the-death-of-me.html" rel="nofollow">The Death Of Me Yet</a> I am totally there with you.
