The Daily Grump
Posted in Featured educationIf this sounds like I’m just grumpy, it’s because I am. Basically, my grumpiness stems from nothing important and nothing really based on anything….except…well unless you consider others when you make decisions….yea, I’m grumpy!
Like most school’s, our school has this monstrous parking lot issue. There is a diagram that they hand out at orientation explaining it all. But, the bottom line is, people start lining up at least 45 minutes before school dismisses….some even more. And, that’s not anything for me to really be grumpy about. But…you knew there was a but didn’t you?
But, the last 2 days I’ve been behind a parent who not only has a kid that’s too small to get in the car alone and so it requires the teacher to pick the kid up or the parent to get out and she has his car seat installed on the opposite side of the car from the sidewalk. Why?
Why can’t the kid get in the car on the side like every other kid in line does? What is up with that?
And, then, today, there was this grandmotherly looking woman driving, or actually she was sitting….in the lane in which parents of children the age of my son use to leave the disaster that is The School Parking Lot. Now, given, if she doesn’t come often or ever, then she probably doesn’t know but the parent who sent her…should have explained it because total chaos ensued.
And that chaos had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that not only did I not take my purse (or any money basically) with me to the school to pick up my son, I didn’t get dressed (per se, I had on a t-shirt and shorts and that’s certainly not dressed), I didn’t put on any shoes and my gas light was on. And I’m stuck in this friggin’ parking lot where someone has blocked the only outlet.
Really, grumpy is not exactly the best word for it, but still…yea I’m grumpy.
Don’t let the diagram fool you into thinking that this is a place of pure chaos just because I can’t draw…it is pure chaos because…well that grandmotherly figure in the way and…well because my drawings can’t even depict how chaotic it really is…..but normally…it works for some reason..but not with that grandmotherly woman in the way….nope, nada…grumpy!
