Not sure how to handle this

Apparently the girls next door are being really nasty to my kids. I have forbidden them to come over and told my kids to just stay away from them. Unfortunately, I can’t discuss this with their parents because there really nasty people too. Any overtures will be escalated into a fight that could end up involving the police. I feel sorry for those girls because they come from a really messed up family, but I am tired of the drama. To top that off, ever since they changed the kids bus driver there has been nothing but problems.

I guess I am going to have to talk to the bus driver myself, although she has to know that I have been trying to get her moved off of this bus. I am pretty sure it will be a pointless conversation. I will try this afternoon though. After that, I will go make a formal complaint at the school board. If they do not do something, then I will call the media and get them involved. I have had enough of this. I don’t see what the difficulty is, in making sure these girls stay away from my kids on the  bus.

Missed the bus

I didn’t sleep very well last night and consequently, the kids missed the bus this morning. I got one of them up, and went back to sleep. Big mistake. I usually doze after the first ones get up, because one has to shower in the morning. He prefers it that way. The youngest doesn’t have to be up for another forty five minutes so I have a little time to kill. With very little sleep last night, I didn’t get back up in time and had to take the kids to school. That was fun….not.

First when I went outside, I slid in the mud and knee planted in the middle of a stepping stone. That hurt and still does. I am hoping that it doesn’t swell up. Then because it is raining, I had to drive in the rain which I hate. I got one to school on time the others, were slightly late. I don’t understand why the schools have to be so far apart. It’s really irritating. Tomorrow, I will make sure I am not too late getting them up for school. I hate it when they miss the bus. Note to self; go to bed earlier tonight and get some sleep.

Blah

When I bought this house, I wanted it to be close to the kids schools. However, I didn’t realize that they would be the first ones on the bus and the last ones off of it. They are on the bus for at least an hour every day and have to get up really early to catch it. I have had constant problems with the new bus driver too. She is inattentive to the kids and what they talk about. The other driver had much more control over the kids and could manage to get here on time without calling out sick constantly either. This has gotten ridiculous to the point that I had to call the transportation department and make a complaint about her. I told the director that he needed to put the old bus driver back on this bus and right away.
