She sat down and cried multiple times and was hollering about missing her kitties.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow, I'm going to <I>drive</I> us to the base of the hill the school sits on (about .6 miles) and then make her walk up that last part. I'm not going to try to face the traffic around the "Hug & Go" area. That's even more stressful. I feel cheated of NOT using up gas and polluting by having to drive even that much.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention the missed exercise!<BR/><BR/>Instead, after drop off, I'll go walk around the lake an extra 2-3 times to make up for the lack. Then, in the afternoon, I'll make her walk home. The trip home is never a problem.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe I'll pull out the tandem bike. That's a LOT of work for me, though. Dragging both of our weights uphill....She might be ON the bike, but she's not doing the heavy pedalling!<BR/><BR/>Oh well. Maybe next year.<BR/><BR/>Re: the naked boys, never you mind.

They'd rather be naked so no clothes on in the car would not be an incentive to let me dress them faster.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880850905449197695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33516164.post-1158081882888363292006-09-12T11:24:00.000-06:002006-09-12T11:24:00.000-06:00Oh I soooooo feel your pain...times three!!!-HOh I soooooo feel your pain...times three!!!<BR/>-HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
