Playland Tour

When my children grow up
and look back on their childhood,
they will either think their mother was
brilliant, genius, and awesome
or
totally cuckoo and completely nuts.
I had plans to get out today and enjoy this cool park in the area.
But
the
weather is
icky.
Muy
yuck.
Instead of a day in the sun,
it was a day under the golden arches--
A McDonald's Playland Tour!

I like McDonalds about as much as I like cleaning the bathroom
blech blech blech
but the fact that I could bring a book along on this outing
was very appealing to me.
I grabbed handfuls of change from the jar
(one cuckoo part of my motherness . . .)
and we went on a progressive playland tour.
We ended up spending almost 3 hours
(including driving time and a quick trip to the store)
at 3 different McDonald's.
At the first McD's, we counted out our coins for cheeseburgers.
At the next McDonald's, we ordered up some fries.
At the last McD's, we tried out a parfait.
At the end, we voted on our favorite playland.
And I had finished half of my book.
A golden afternoon under those golden arches!
