Well, I guess I will start with the fact that school has started back up and I am not the mother of an 8 year old 3rd grader, and an 11 (almost 12) year old 6th grader. Scary! School started Monday, and today is only Thursday, and I was already at the bus barn yesterday. They have changed all the buses around and have everything so messed up. There were kids still getting dropped off by buses at 9 pm, Monday. Dawson made it home on time, and Keigan was a car rider, so I did not have to deal with it really, but my cousin that is in the same grade with Dawson, and lives across the street, did not get dropped off until almost 7pm.
Yesterday was Keigan's first day to have to ride the bus home and so I waited and waited, and come 5 o'clock and she still was not home, I started getting pissed. Then as I am about to get into my car to go look for her because nobody will answer the phone at the bus barn, a brand new Ford Expedition pulls up at the end of my drive way and Keigan gets out. I asked her who the hell was driving her home, and she had no clue who the lady was, just said she was from the bus barn. I walked to the vehicle and the lady did not want to roll down the window and talk to me, but finally did, and just said she was told to bring her home. Her exact words were " I was just told to bring her and drop her off" and she tried to roll the window back up. This sent me into super pissed off bitch mode. She did not have an ID stating who she was, she would not tell me her name, or why she was bringing my child home in anything other than a school bus.
I loaded Keigan up in the car and ended up beating that lady back to the bus barn. The people at the bb tried to be shitty with me, and act as if Keigan had gotten on the wrong bus, which she had NOT, and then I told them I have already had my child placed in the wrong vehicle once before (whole different story) and they needed to understand where my concern was and where I was coming from. They calmed down and the tones in their voices changed when they knew I was not stupid, and neither was my child. I told them that for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHAT SO EVER, is my child to get into any vehicle other than a school bus or the Liberty County Sheriff, that they could have called me and I could have come and pick her up, but that my other major concern was the fact that the bus driver just flat refused to bring the kids home. (there were actually 4 kids that were taken home by the lady in the SUV) Keigan said as soon as they got on the bus, the driver said "yall live off of 1413, you are on the wrong bus but I will take you to the bus barn." HELLO, every kid on the bus lives off of 1413, she just did not want to have to turn or something. I have no clue, don't give a shit, but it better get taken care of and NOT happen again.
Thank God I only have to deal with the bullshit of this school district until December!
Anyway, the kids seem to like school so far. Well, except for Keigan maybe. She got in trouble yesterday, so she isn't so sure anymore. Apparently there is a little boy in her class that is getting adopted and Keigan and 2 other girls said something along the lines of he wasn't going to get adopted. Mean ass child of mine. I don't know how it was said, or if she was meaning it to be ugly, but it doesn't matter. I explained to her that she can not be mean, that it's called being a bully, and she can and will get into serious trouble. I explained to her that the little bot was probably so excited about getting a family and he wanted to share that with the class, and she hurt his feeling. Well, she was bawling by the time I was finished talking to her and she wrote the little boy a note telling his how sorry she was for saying something so mean about something that is so "SPESHELL" (special) to him, and would he please forgive her and she hopes they can be friends.
Hmm, I had so much to say, and now I am blank......Guess I need to start writing it all down on paper and then type it out and post it. lol
