I had a grandparents day at my granddaughter's school, where we ate outdoors and I had to bring the meal for both of us. The problem? Their lunch break was at 10:50 and she goes to school in the next town over. So the only option was a McDonald's, where they start the lunch menu at 10:30, but they don't have a McDonald's in the next town over. So I had to get McDonald's in my town, then race to the next town over to get there by 10:50. There was no parking at the school, so I had to park down the street, then I had to schlep the McDonald's, two drinks and a folding camp chair all the way back to the school. The last time I had one of these was for my older granddaughter at the same school, but they fed us that time in the cafeteria. There was no taking the lunch with me and no schlepping chairs with me. But I survived this last one.
Now my other daughter tells me that Monday is grandparents day at my youngest grandson's school, which is three towns over. It takes half an hour to get there. They also eat at 10:50. I worked second shift most of my adult life so I usually don't get up much past noon in my retirment. (old habits are hard to break) The only saving grace with this grandparents day is that they will feed us and I don't have to make my own seating arrangements.
But I'm not done yet. The youngest granddaughter has a birthday this month, which they are celebrating on a Saturday ... during football season. It's during the Ohio game. My children really should know better. That's not her birthday (it's in the middle of that week) so they could have just as easily celebrated it on Sunday. I'm done now.
