Reasons why today has sucked:
1. Parents at the zoo are freaking stupid. Not all parents. Just a few. But those few were morons of the highest order. (Seriously, parents, there is no excuse for holding up a lunch line because you have to tell the server what drinks you want one. drink. at. a. time. When you're getting SEVEN drinks for four people! It's a fountain! Tell her two! She has two hands!)
2. Air quality was horrible, even though the temperature was better. I'm paying the price now.
3. Headache that doesn't want to go away.
4. My feet are killing me. My right foot especially. I'm guessing I'll be wearing flats for the next week.
5. Parents that refuse to read. Seriously, people, don't guess at what the animals are! Your kids asked! There are plenty of signs that tell you what's what! Just READ. (Why yes, I did become a zoo snob and actually tell random kids what the animals were, point out where the animals were when parents were distracted by the smaller kids, and stop a kid from running face first into glass.)
On the plus side, I have a few pictures and some video. Including video of a snoozing, snorfling polar bear. (I figured it out, Bubbles...Waffle is part polar bear!)
