A Little Drama for your Thursday

A cold mist continued to cover the area today. Walking from the door to the car, you really wouldn't feel the light kiss of rain. Standing outside the door while hunched over the seat wrestling with seatbelt buckles and kids shifting objects from one hand to the other while you wrangle an 18 month old's arms to places she does not want them to go...you tend to feel more than a kiss of rain.

A school bus cut me off today. Or rather, because I follow the rules of the road and did not cut off the school bus, I gave it full opportunity to take advantage of me. Thus causing my vehicle and it's early morning passengers to crawl down the street and a speed not yet known to man as it picks up 4 students along the way. None of whom are waiting properly for the bus, which would be at the end of their driveway with a coat and an umbrella, all are still in the comforts of their home which just p-r-o-l-o-n-g-s the agony of this process even more. I want to honk. OOOOHHHH I so want to honk. The flashing lights against the dark of the sky make me feel like I'm going to have a seizure because these kids are sooooo sloooooooow.



It took me 7 minutes to get the girls to school today.
It usually takes me 3.
We go one mile.
I was angry.
I'm not sorry.

  1. Around here if you're behind a School Bus waiting when the kids are safely on the bus, the bus then lets you pass them as a courtesy.
    Another one for Michigan
