Who sat down one day and said, "I know! Let's take a bunch of kindergarteners outside the classroom. Let's load them up on a bus and take them to the zoo or the circus or some place educational like a dinosaur museum. Better yet, let's ask parents to drive, so the kids to fight about who they are going to ride with!"

Okay, I'm griping.

I apologize.

I just got back from a field trip with my daughter's kindergarten class. One teacher. Five moms. Seventeen kids. We had a wonderful time watching an ice skating competition. How do people dance on ice skates? I can't even skate on ice skates!

But I am worn out. The kiddos were great. I think it is just the sum of driving through highway construction and keeping track of a very active bunch of five and six year olds and telling two little boys it was okay to use the girls bathroom just this once...and then making it back to the school when it was all over.

I need a nap.
