ohhhhhhhh it's cold out! After glorious spring sunshine which has lasted for days we got up to blowing winds and gray skies. I stepped off my bus to blowing rain and brrrrrrrrrrr chilly downright cold winds.
With only 6 weeks of school left I have been tolerating smart mouthed preteen girls who are mad at me for writing up their friend for repeatly standing up. My reply? "when they get a CDL and turn 21 they can drive a bus and be the boss, until then zip it up!" Such disrespect. I realize much of it is allowed at home, but as I have always said what's cute at 4, 8 and 11 is NOT cute at 13, 15 and 17! My short daily trip with these little darlings is nothing compared to a lifetime of dealing with a spoiled kid who then turns into a rotten adult. Hopely these wanna be woman will out outgrow this phase.
I have 4 disposible cameras filled with pictures of my grandsons. I think today I will remember to bring them with me so I can drop them off to get them develped. They've gotten so big -- and so boy-like. Last weekend when I saw them they were truly turning into little boys, NOT big babies. Their other grandma is tired of babysitting all day, so hopefully I can watch them after school is out. It will nearly be summer, warm, sunny and they have pool!! Fun! fun for grandma! Plus I just love 'em!

You're a young grandma, so you will have lots of fun. I have six grandkids from 2 to 17. When the 17 year-old was young, I was too. Now, I get a little more tired with the little ones. Four hours of babysitting is about my limit now. : )

PS.....I agree with you about the school bus kids.
I don't know how you drivers do it.
Bet you can't wait for summer vacation to have a break from those smart mouth teens. Mostly to sit with your precious little boys. Get in that pool with them. Paula
Grandma needs to ask Santa for a digital camera!

I know it, I have worked in the nurse's office in the schools..and some of these middle school kids can be such snots...but for the most part, I loved working with them. Gosh, were we ever that oblivious? ::sigh::
