Carpool Line

I promise not to have a million "we used to do things better in the Fort" stories... but carpool in the Fort, as crazy as it was, was super efficient compared to what the Peep and I see daily on the coast.

This morning for example:  there was a white car of indiscriminate make parked in the yellow zone, no driver.  Just parked.  People in their cars behind it trying to get our kids to school.  Having to try to maneuver around it.

But that was NOTHING compared to the car that was three spaces in front of it.  I tell you I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.  The mom in the suburban was...  putting on her make-up.  In the car pool lane.  Parked.  In the carpool lane.  With sixty or so cars waiting behind her to drop off their kids.  She was parked.  In the yellow zone.  Putting on her eye shadow and mascara.  The only thing I can guess is that the lighting in her bathroom is as bad as it is in mine and she was looking for some natural light- but really- can't you pull out of the line so the rest of us can get on with our day??  I have a list as long as Putter's tail of things to do today- and sitting behind you while you apply your (Sorry Ashley)- Blusher- is not on it...

And now for the rest of the day...  off to get Halloween Candy.  Have to wait for the last minute...  lest I EAT it all!

Have a SPOOKY day.
