Rick and I alternated bike riding yesterday morning. I think he was somewhat more successful than I, because he came home tired and happy. I came home tired and annoyed. Annoyed, because at the park there were so MANY people there....with their dogs....NOT on leashes. There were several times I had to slow down to almost a stop and one time I did actually have to stop! Though, the time I actually had to stop was because of a large group of people standing in the middle of the trail that refused to even take 3 steps to the right. =( It's very bothersome because I don't ride very fast in the park out of respect for other people and their families and dogs, but surely it shouldn't be too hard to share the path? The park is for everyone to use. Everyone and their LEASHED dogs. There are signs that even remind people of the consequences of not following the law. But, since there is no one to enforce the law no one follows it. And really, a dog is going to be so happy to be at the park that'll he'll enjoy it even if he is on the leash.
Okay, I apologize for that bit of a rant. I'm a little grumpy over here. I've had a terrible night of sleep and I think (well, really, this is Rick's reason I"m sharing but I think he's probably right) it's becasue Maia has kindergarten orientation today. It's only an hour long and I get to be there with her the entire time but I can't help being nervous anyway. I'm not sure why I'm nervous but I am. In preschool, she did fine and really enjoyed it to and there's no reason for this not to be the same. But I'm still nervous! Maia isn't nervous at all. She's excited. And a wee bit mad, because she does NOT want to go to orientation and does NOT want to go with me. Maia wants to go all by herself and for all day. I'd definitely say she is ready!
If only I had slept this well!!
