It's about time!

Yes! they think they might know what's wrong with my bus. It stalled about 10 times on me yesterday...while cruising right along...raising my anxiety levels like you wouldn't believe. They think it's the fuel pump. $700...not including labor...maybe it'll get fixed this weekend! Here's hoping!

Home group is a pizza party tonight. Whoohoo!!! [note the sarcasm]

And the morning kids go to the library tomorrow and hopefully I'm the one that gets to drive them there. That'll be nice.

Ciera, I just noticed your avvy. I used that Helix in one of my images a couple weeks ago. Small world. :-)

Glad they "think" they know what is wrong & sure hope they fix it. Jean Luc, would you really make those little darhlins push? I don't think so. After all it is all up hill in the knee deep snow!

Paige, he doesn't remember what that is like. He's been flying starships around the galaxy for years. He probably doesn't even remember what it's like to be on planet Earth anymore. but alas, someone has to save us from the Borg.

Jean-Luc is merely refering to a conversation he and I had about a comment my boss had made about saving fuel for the bus.

Trée - thanks!

Paige - so glad you found the poem site. Thanks for the gold star!!

The bus stalling like that mid-flight would have scared the crap right out of me. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon! Have a super weekend!

Shelly - I'm quite certain I've gotten a few new gray hairs because of it!!! I learned real quick how to throw the bus in neutral and restart it without having to actually stop...

Ciera, you're so brave to drive a school bus, especially in snow. That sounds like such a nerve wracking job. I would have an anxiety attack if it started having mechanical problems. I hope you are having a wonderful trip.

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...
