Zoo Field Trip

Yesterday I went to the zoo with D my great nephew. He is in 1st Grade. That should be enough said right there. D’s teacher assigned me 5 children, not so bad except that they were all boys. Boys like to run and run and run. I spent the majority of my day telling them not to run, which was a waste of my breath. They really had no interest in the animals. At one point we were the only people in the snake house and they were having a blast running and sliding on their knees. Too bad for me some young couple with their baby in a stroller had to come in and spoil our fun there. I acted like it was the first time they had done it, and of course made them stop. You know that baby could not see those snakes anyway. The zoo this time of year is decorated for the annual BOO at the ZOO fundraiser. There were lots of Halloween decorations which are used at night that were roped off. My boys took it upon themselves to ask me every time they saw a new set up if they could go in the roped off area. It did look appealing, Little Red Riding Hood at her Grandma’s house, The Three Little Pigs, etc. I found myself thinking all day ….. I WILL SURVIVE!!! I did survive, but I must have clenched my teeth a little too much with the stress of the day. At 5:00 this evening my temporary crown that I had put on Monday, fell off in my mouth. What time does your dentist close? I did not catch mine in the office and he does not work on Friday. Oh joy! I guess I WILL SURVIVE!

P.S. I did have to pay $14.00 to go on this Field Trip.
