Yesterday was a glorious sunny coolish (high 70's) low humidly day & of course I was stuck indoors in an all day meeting for work. That's ok though it was a paid all day meeting.
I had trips early in the week and they all went well. Today I went to our base/work and looked over the many routes for this coming school year. I have about 10 picked out. I usually get close to what I want as many driver do not like to drive junior high kids. I prefer them to high school as they still have some innocence and respect for authority. Bidding is Tuesday morning. This process takes forever...but it's fair.
Next week I have four trips again. I am off Monday and Friday, but I will have to drive a dry run of my routes after we pick them on Tuesday, so I will need to fit that in. And I work Saturday morning. Three of the trips are for sports: soccer, tennis and freshman football. I have no clue as to why none of the senior drivers bid on any of the trips this next week except maybe they don't want to come off summer break early.
Again fine by me....it's easy money.
Last night my son called me to tell me his 9th grade half brother got hurt in his football scrimmage. The poor kid's arm was broken so bad it was shaped like an S. Tim called me this morning and said his brother is doing fine, it got reset to the poor kid's relief and he will be in a full arm cast for 6 weeks.
I get along well with my son's father. We have been divorced since 1985 and we both worked hard to get along. His wife is fine too. Forgive and forget...no good comes from holding grudges for things that have changed and are long over. Their dad and I should never had been together in the first place...we are total opposites. We are much better people apart. We have both proved time and time again that we are good parents to our children. They even used to invite Liz over when she was a wee one. And after I got married to Mark his kids often went with my boys to their dads for visits. There is a fine line that has to be kept to avoid weirdness, but things have turned out fine.
Tim is the one who was in the softball tournament last weekend. They got third and are going to the State finals.
It's over Labor day, and we have a wedding to go to ... but I'd still like to try and go and cheer my kid on...I never tire of being my kid's number one fan!
Tim is in the front row third from the right behind the trophy.
