[joyah]

Nancy I'm trying DH left to go check on the transfer, another friend called and her 6th graders buss meets the boys bus where they switch he was so sick that something would go wrong. Literally this bus switch is less than 1 1/2 miles and DH is still gone!!! not good. Levi of course doesn't have his cell on.
this is the first time levi hasn't switched with Eric and I think that's getting me. I keep telling myself he's done this for 3 years hes fine repeating!!!
thanks for trying to talk me down.

 

[morgansmom2000]

I'm up, watching the news coverage about Senator Kennedy. Need to get moving and get myself to work though. Bah, work so gets into my free time!

I read it all, have fun at Disney, good luck at the gym and walking, Christy, that'll be me next week. I always get so nervous when M starts school!

Holly, feel better

Have a good day everyone!

Oh no, they switch buses out and about.. WE have shuttle buses for our country busses to get back on their routes earlier for the high school level but they switch busses at the upper elementary school... They started this about 3 years ago because our country busses were constantly late for school...but due to their routes they were getting their timely considering where they were coming from...

We told the kids the cell is to be on while on the bus to turn it off as the bus hits the parking lot before they release to go into school... PJ keeps hers in her purse on silent... DS13 leaves his in his locker...DS8 is still begging to have one.. LOL

Sure hope you see your DH soon and Levi is okay... keep us posted!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I know.. my heart just goes out to the Kennedy family... This past 2 weeks have been really rough on them...

 

[joyah]

they actually switch for elemetary school at a local park. Middle and high schoolers from 1 of the 5 villages come over and they get off the gradeschool bus that Eric is getting on, this year Levi stays on the morning bus as it is a jr/high school bus. We are the 1st stop/last stop for the elementary school with no turn around so they have always rode that bus over to meet but now there are tons of other jr/high kids on it with my elem kid he knows he's to sit up front.

Levi should be at school and we will have the phone talk when he gets home, especially for this 1st week.
Eric will be arriving at school shortly 5 mins or so. I want to call and make sure he made it. Probably will, just so hopefully my stomach will stop dancing. I should b freaked out over Levi going to middle school and changing classes and handling all that, but I'm not guess my baby is growing up.

Eric is 8 and dying for a cell phone I told him just like Levi ask santa cause mom's rule is 6th grade. although he is my sport kid and it may have to be this year since we could run into drop off pick ups

I know.. my heart just goes out to the Kennedy family... This past 2 weeks have been really rough on them...

I may not agree with all of Mr. Kennedy's moral choices, but he did do a lot for our country (and state!). I'm just glad I don't live on the Cape for these past couple weeks!

 

[joyah]

UGH jennifer can you even imagine the cape. i don't think you could pay me to be there right now. Think of all the people still on vacation and what a mess that must be.

Talked with DH's cousin who lives on nantucket and he was planning on coming off this weekend he has since changed his mind.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I may not agree with all of Mr. Kennedy's moral choices, but he did do a lot for our country (and state!). I'm just glad I don't live on the Cape for these past couple weeks!

I agree.. morally some choices were not acceptable..but we have all made some moral choices that were wrong (in someone else's eyes, in our eyes in hindsight).... but what he did in the Senate was amazing! Lets hope someone will step up and try to do the same!
