First day of public school




The older kids get on the bus and hour and 20 minutes before Bryce does! The bus pulled up this morning and the kids made a step toward the highway (the bus had the stop sign out and the red flashers going) and a car raced paced without braking at all. There was silence for a minute and then the bus driver opened her window and said to the kids, “THIS is why you wait for ME to cross you...you don’t cross before I signal you!!” I was in tears...ok, I was in tears before that, but that just set me off. Terrifying to see your children’s lives pass before your eyes.



Bryce’s bus was 15 minutes late, which caused some anxiety. I tried to lean down and give a kiss before he got on and he leaned away, saying, “Mmmmooommm!!!” The bus driver is laughing hysterically and told Bryce as he got on the bus, “You HAVE to say goodbye!!”



I know I wasn’t supposed to kiss...I just forgot.
