Last Friday was Midland
Elementary's Country Fair at school. This is a fund raiser for the PTA and school. Boy, they start pumping you for money early. School has been in session for little over a month and they have already had the gift wrap sale fund raiser and now the country fair. A good mother would fill her children up with a nutritious meal before heading to the event. I let my kids show up starving, knowing there would be plenty of crap I could fill them up with, thus,
alleviating the need to feed them dinner later. It was a nice HOT day, leading up to a HOT evening. They had the fair out on the black top at the back of the school, which was still in the full sun for a good 2 more hours. I'm not a genius, but perhaps they should think about moving it
50 feet over to the grass, which would make it at least 10 degrees cooler. Perhaps I should join the planning
committee? Black top it is! It was wretched hot.... but how is it that kids don't really notice or care? Anyway, a good time was had by all......my kids and
niece & nephew won the cake walk, they played tug of war, sack raced, hula hooped, danced, they got their fill of snow cones, cotton candy, candy, popcorn..... and other good crap-
ola! I got my fill of the free chili at the chili cook off, so there was dinner! What more could I ask for? Now.... the kids didn't fall asleep until.....well, I was asleep before them , so the sugar high was really Andy's problem, now wasn't it? Bring on the Spring Carnival!!
