My mom taught at our school but still made us ride the bus!

It is a plus to have a wonderful driver, like I did as a kid, who sometimes surprised you with rewards, like candybars or pop, and always decorted her bus for the holiday and surprised us with things on our birthdays (my kids, who are also being bussed, sometimes, get to enjoy those same rewards) But look at it this way....It is a great time to just get to enjoy some time with friends, with out a teacher telling you to be quite, and as your girls get older..the longer they will want to just talk. And as I recall, talking to a friend on the bus always felt a little more private. It's also a wonderful time to catch up on a good book, or maybe just daydream...what kind of girl doesn't love to do that, or what mom doesn't want them to?! Sure I have some bad "bus" stories..but I have to say, my good totally outway the bad. And besides...by the time she starts to hate it...she will be ready to drive!Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693328869535689096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697144516795736807.post-48873670184929532472010-08-10T23:53:05.764-05:002010-08-10T23:53:05.764-05:00Hopefully a good driver.

Mom had a couple of neighbors promise to show me to my room on the first day I was on my own after that.<br />I knew not one classmate, all the home town kids were in a different school district; it is good to have cousins. <br />Erik's greatest day was the driver's worst. Bus got stuck in the snow three times. Had to get farmer with tractor to pull them out Erik was thrilled.Steve Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548359285557142720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697144516795736807.post-56353345765446178032010-08-10T10:01:14.855-05:002010-08-10T10:01:14.855-05:00I think maybe you could use some bus appreciation....I think maybe you could use some bus appreciation. Let's plan a bus trip to Chicago to go shopping and we can ride the good ole' Greyhound. I think after that- the school bus will seem like a bit of a Cadillac ride:) You're so cute:) Love you!karakamienskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315248667898358596noreply@blogger.com
