Is it Friday the 13th???

Oh man!  What a day!  None of this happened to me, but kids were puking and peeing on the various buses.  WE are responsible for hosing out our own buses, so these poor drivers had to clean out the mess.  Ew!   You'd think by now after all my kids I wouldn't be bothered by that sort of thing, but it's still pretty gross.  Then one driver who is a #1 pain (he always has to make a comment about EVERYTHING on the 2-way radio), got busted by the boss.  He was making a comment to a sub driver about her driving speed.  Thankfully for all of us who are sick of this pain, she said, "Sorry!  I am subbing and I am trying to make sure I don't miss any stops"  OOOPPPPSY!! and it's Friday too!  Mary (boss) is always much more vocal after a nice long week of whining.

My kids were very good, except there's dried mud everywhere...guess I'll have to get the hose out too!

Tomorrow, is the Sports trip so I need to go to the library for some reading material.  Could be a long day.  But that's cool I get paid by the hour.  Liz is going to the other school (the new one) dance.  That school has only Freshman and Sophmores in it.  And a lot of her friends attend there.  So far they have had quite a bit of fighting over there, a couple of arrests per week.  It's too bad some kids today don't want an education.  That school is high tech top of the line, with new swimming pool, awesome tennis courts, and totally beautiful and a few of them could care less.

Kids....I guess every generation has their problems....for instance yesterday I found out one of the alternative school kids, a girl, is having a baby in May.  WOW, she said she will get a job after she takes care of her probation.  I told her that was a good idea, finish school, get your act together before the "little one" comes.  Hopefully she will break the chain, she lives in section 8 housing so I dunno...very sad.  But God willing....not for me to judge just be an ear...

Hope you guys have a wonderful Friday night!

It is always easier to clean up your own.

i have come to know plenty of young moms...as young as 15 that have raised thier children right. It amazes me sometimes. It really does. I had my first, unwed and uneducated two weeks before I turned 19. It was double hard after that but I got myself wed to the daddy. Graduated, nursing school, driving school and look at me now. LOL I will pray she does fine. I do feel bad about the drivers having to clean the busses when that happens. Like the job isn't stressful enough.

Re: puke and pee.   I always think it's much grosser to clean up after other people's kids than my own, for some reason.  (I teach Sunday school to 2 year olds, so have had my share of yuckiness!)  Have a great weekend!
