This is cute. I've been carpooling my 3 kids forever. It took me a year to figure out what these ladies say. Now, I look forward to being in line. It's sad. I'm shocked it's come to this. But, yea, I chill out. I listen to my favorite music, no kids whining on about listening to old fogey music. I turn off my cell phone, the hardest part! Then I shut my eyes and breathe. It's not the spa at Miraval but it's not bad.

I've been there. I'm still too uptight on these lines to rest. A friend of mine brings a bottle of wine. She doesn't drink it in the car but she leaves it on the floor to remind her what she can have when she gets home.

I meditate while I'm waiting. It helps. Sometimes cars behind me honk but, hey, they should relax too!

Nice. I'm going to try

Nice. I'm going to try harder to be cool while I wait forever for my 2 boys. Meditation sounds good. I'm not sure I could do it knowing people behind me may honk any time.
