Take your pick

And I don't mean your nose.

School Days Blues:

I have some pretty good kids on my bus. Sure - they're noisy and have a tendancy to hang out in the aisle and swing their coats around, but they're still pretty good. One of the little girls on the other bus had her feelings hurt this afternoon as they were going out to the busses and she started screaming. Not just crying, but screaming like someone had twisted her arm or something. Not a pretty sound. All because she couldn't go first in the line. And the sad thing is - they couldn't get her to calm down and she was still screaming like that when they put her on the bus.

Kids Church:

Awwww. they sang to me last night. Min baked a caked for me and did up a little card and had the kids sing, "Thanks and blessings to you" to the tune of happy birthday. I was quite touched. I mean, the kids are happy to see her come back, and sad to see me go...even though I'll still be serving as a back up. Though to be honest, with fuel prices being as they are, I'm not sure what our winter church schedule is going to be like.

Movie Night:

These are my choices for tomorrow night - "Valiant" or "The 40 Year Old Virgin". oooookay. I think the cartoon might be the safest choice there.

Family trivia:

I guess I dropped something of a bombshell the other day, saying how many brothers and sisters I have. To clarify: Dad had two wives, five kids by each. I am the first kid of the second marriage...#6...there is a thirteen year gap between me and #5...I was spoiled rotten until my brother Cliff came along and I've never recovered from having to share the spotlight. Needless to say I never know whether to suffer from the 'middle child syndrome' or the 'oldest child syndrome' ....... although to be honest, it's the oldest child one that comes out most often. The age span of the kids is 49 all the way down to 21. well, if you factor in their upcoming birthdays, it will soon be 50-22. The Brady Bunch we were not. Especially since Mom was only like, 9 years older than her oldest step-daughter.

ok. that's it. :)

I think you made the right choice with the movie.

Your family tree is complex, Ciera. Thanks for sharing. From my point of view, I'm an only child.

not my birthday - that was just the tune they sang the song to.

Yes - only two movies - I live in Hickville USA afterall.

I think the cartoon is the best choice too.

Fluke - you're on your own. Just don't pick it till it bleeds.

Oh, gee, don't I feel like boob now. I take it back, Ciera, un-happy birthday! Or would that be happy un-birthday?

Rob - don't worry about it. I have entire weeks like that. I'll just consider it a really late happy birthday, mine's in the middle of summer so you're not too late!! :)

The little girl that was screaming was about 3 yrs old and I never did ask the other driver how long it was before she settled down.

Ponderisms

This comes from an email from one of my many sisters. Some are just toooo funny!!! PONDERISMS 1.) I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. 2.) Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. 3.) The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. 4.) Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. 5.) There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. 6.) Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 7.) Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 8.) The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 9.) Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. 10.) Have you noticed since everyone has a ca...

Too Soon

"I spoke too soon" Well....sort of. Here's a brief rundown of my first 'drop off run' - u know, taking the kids home. I get all the kids on the bus, knowing that one girl needs to go to daycare, I automatically head for the one she went to last year...as I pull up, she says, "I don't go there anymore...I go to the new daycare..." Uh-oh. Now, this little girls a little more mature than the rest, so I believe her. I tried calling the other driver on the handheld radio to see if he was still at the center...no answer....tried calling the boss...no answer...I went back to the Center...no one could see the bus becuase of the ambulance, so no one could come out. So I cart the girl around the entire hour long route.........at the first stop, I sent a message through the mother to the Center....and then there was a bee on the bus!!!! I killed it, superhero that I am. One girl wants to "swing from the chandleirs"...if the bus had them. Oh m...
