It's a lovely, sunny Monday. Makes for an easy start for a work week. So far so good in the morning, noon time, then comes the afternoon. I am driving along dropping my grade school kids off at each bus stop. Many of my drops have 5 or more kids. Many stay after school for after school activities, so I really never keep track of who's on the bus as I could never keep up with 40 + kids. As I am heading toward a stop I am checking my bus load of kids in my mirror for naughty behavior and I hear a tiny little voice say, "bus driver, I believe I missed my stop". What?! I calmly said, "no you di...oh you did!"
I bring the little girl up front get her full name as I only know her first name as she never gives me any trouble. I assure her she will get home safely and I radio our base and let them know I have her. As we pull up to her house her mom comes running looking like she was crying and freaking out. She's on the phone, calling the child's school. She is deeply relieved and I explain that in this type of situation she needs to call transportation as they can radio me quickly. Whew!
We had the kids again on Friday night. Dayton is teething so he kept me up quite a bit in the night, but that's ok. His brother accidently hit him in the eye with a broom....at home thank God. He has his first black eye!

You are so good at your job. The parents should appreciate you. I hope they do. Poor little guy with his black eye. Paula

So glad you were able to get the little girl to her mom. I wish you were our driver. Hope ya have a great day! Sorry I am slow getting here. My alerts don't always come on either and plus I have a mailbox that is just huge right now with journal alerts. I am way behind but I always think of you and wonder how you are doing. Hugs,

Sounds like you handled that one just right. What a good bus driver you are. I admire you . I couldn't do it , the kids would drive me crazy.
Hugs, R.c.
Ohhh, a boo boo. Those first black eyes are so sad when they first happen and yet so cute in the pictures. The little girl who missed her stop is so lucky you are her driver. I bet you calmed her little heart. Glad she was reunited with Mom quickly.
Hugs, Kathy
