OK please let me vent for a minute........
bubba gets out of school at 3:05. and takes the bus home. and we live 5 minutes from the school.
1st day of school- he gets off the bus @4:30ish
2nd day of school-he gets off the bus @4:10ish and i ask the bus driver is this the normal time he'll be getting home. and her reply is "no. i'm going to shave 10 minutes off this time. so whatever time it is right now less 10 minutes." ok. so i look @ my cell phone and ask her "so 4:00?" yup she says.
ok. good. i work 5 minutes away. so no problem. so i figure if i leave work at 3:45 i'll be home in plenty of time.
yesterday i get out of work and get home and he gets off the bus at 4:05. ok this works. everything is good.
today- i get out at 3:50 (still plenty of time to get home before 4:00) and i get here and the bus is parked across the street from my house ( i live on the main road in town) and my son is sitting in his tree house/slide thingy all by
himself!!!!!! yup! so i see him and think how in the world did i miss the bus and why is he not ON the bus??
i cross the main street to where the bus is and see that the other kids that are on the same stop as bubba are
still on the bus!
WHAT?! how long have you been here, i ask? and she said since 3:45! this is the time i'll be here everyday! oh really. 'cause i've asked you and that's not what you said. well it is. and who the heck said it was ok to let my son off with nobody home on the other side of the road to sit by himself????? are you kiddin' me?? and who's responsible for my son and the drop off thing? and i was not the only one who missed it. the other 2 boys moms pulled up as i was walking away and their son's got off the bus as they pulled up. so a)why wasn't my son still on the bus and b) what time will you be here EVERYDAY? and c) what would you have done if someone stopped and picked up my son? would you be able to stop that? i mean really. who do i have to call to report this? the school? the bus company? i'm so stinkin' mad right now i could spit nails!
so now bubba and i get in the car to go to the post office and he said to me "muma you promised nene that you would be there to get me off the bus and keep me safe, and you broke you promise to her. she would not be happy right now!"
me=
i know J, i know.
see how learning just gets in the way??!!
Holly. You did not break your Mom's promise. You were there when you were told to be there. Not your fault.
Ooops.
my boys have been trained if we are not there run like HE11 for the bridge in our driveway and go to great grammies
