Have you been through the drop off loop at an elementary school lately?  This is a scary place.  I'm not sure what it is like in the rest of the country but here it is crazy.  I'm only familair with elementary since I have 3rd graders.

So picture a lot of parents (moms mostly) lining up in their cars and slowly taking their turns pulling through a loop to drop off their kids.  Some are awake and dressed for the day.  Some are not.  Some are eating.   Some are drinking coffee.  Some are yelling at their kids (some days this is me). 

But what I am NOT doing is talking on my cell phone while driving my huge vehicle within feet of your kids walking on the sidewalks, crossing the streets, etc. all around me.  WHO does this?  I mean is the president on the phone?  All it would take is one kid to bump another kid off the curb and then even with my best intentions...someone could get hurt.

I do talk on my phone in the car, respectful of the new law, always with my earpiece.  But even then...never ever in the school zone which I'm pretty sure includes that scary loop place.  I am continually amazed that there are people that actually think that it's okay. 

So really what I wanted to say in a nutshell....Temecula moms and dads....please get off the phone while you are driving your  SUV within feet of my two little boys.

Did I mention I have to go back there again today since it is also the "pick up" loop??
