Why PPU sucks.

PPU stands for Parent Pick Up at Katerina's school. We live less than 2 miles away, so she's not eligible to ride the bus. These news were relieving when I first heard them, but time has made me rethink this. Why? Take a look.

Reason #1 PPU sucks: So freaking long.
Seriously, no matter what time I arrive at the school, there's no way the whole trip will last then than 30 minutes. If I go early and get in the front part of the lines, I'll still have to wait until we are allowed to move ahead. If I go on time, it will take forever to ride around the parking lot to the front entrance of the school. And if I go late, then it will probably not take forever but Katerina will be one of the very last kids to be picked up and I don't want that.



















Reason #2 PPU sucks: The elements.
It's usually hot every day here, so it's a given you have to keep the AC running. Except when there's something like a Tropical Storm, thank you very much T.S. Fay.



















Reason #3 PPU sucks: It's also BPU.
That is Brother Pick Up, and brother gets so bored and tired he eventually falls asleep. On his brand new, not sleep-friendly booster seat.



















All I have left of course is bitching and whining. PPU is the only option we have for Katerina to leave from school, so I better suck it up.

But come on, Andre looks adorable. Granted this is coming from a mom of one who isn't even in preschool, so feel free to disregard me.
