As long as it worked to keep the rain away at least until the grade school kids are in school, then I'm a happy camper. DD's on her own. She takes the bus (THAT will be a nightmare in & of itself, rain or no rain)...I fully expect a phone call that she misses the one on the way home. I'm fully convinced no one at the school knows what they are doing for the busses (with the new Middle School built we have been told about 6 different versions of how the busses will run -- I just decided to look earlier today at the bus schedule & it had changed AGAIN from last week!). Getting there should be fine, figuring out how to get back on the bus is going to be INSANITY.
I already had the 9 year old whining when he heard me say "walk to school" -- Ahh...and so it begins.
Oh get this...was it this thread that we talked about the freaky mannequins that look at you that DD *hates*. Poor girl, her first class is Science. We had meet the teacher night on Monday, we walk in the classroom and in about 2 seconds DD is pulling on my arm, head down saying we can leave now. It was right after she saw the skeleton. I did try to convince her the skeleton wasn't looking at her because it has no eyes! Only eye sockets.
She didn't buy my answer.
Poor thing is going to have to wake up to that every morning having it "stare" at her. I thought it was kind of comical (I know I'm a mean mom) but since she wants to be a vet or zookeeper, it just strikes me as funny that the skeleton freaked her out. At least she gets it out of the way first thing.
WELLLL back then the school (St. Peter) was sooo tiny that they shared the bus with Coltrap....WELL there we were two private school gals on a HUGE bus of PUBLIC SCHOOL KIDS!! 
needless to say we were picked on mercilessly....Oh well didn't bother me one bit!! Dsis was mortified 
i like that loser smiley!!!! too funny! 
CRRRAAAZZZY!!
