For every elementary school- age kid, participating in Field Day is the PRIZE for enduring a long year! After volunteering for this ALL-day, fun and kid-screaming frenzy for a billion years, I am taking a break!
For my only daughter and fourth child, she will get the pieces of me that are still functioning after enduring the heat, humidity, sweat and screams of this delightful event.
My strategy, learned from experience, is to show up, take a few cute pics, walk to 3 stations and give a HIGH five to my energetic kindergarten and her new-found friends!
...then I get in my air-conditioned mini-van, take a quick last look back at all the "young" and "hip" Mom's wiping sweat from their brow with fake smile's on their faces as they try to move the "cattle" along to the next station without losing any in the transition!
.
...then I hit the gas and make my exit headed for the nearest WII FI HOT SPOT (complete with AC) with my laptop in hand! With my icy cold diet coke by my side, I fire up the beast and upload my photos of my cute daughter and "blog" away!
Hahaha I love your strategy! If any of those other Mom's noticed they were jealous 5 minutes later. :)
