Now, in this day and age of social networking We have been told to not have any of our students on our Facebook. Of course I am a bit of a push the envelope kind of girl so I have a few of my high school students and their parents on my Facebook page. Yet again I have had this same route and have known these kids and parents for years. With that said I was on Facebook the other night and I saw one of my high school boys status post and it was about 5 of the boys on my bus. It said, " We just shoved a piece of bread in our butts, and ran 30 yards. The loser had to eat the bread.haahhahaaa". TMI GROSS!!! I had to ask my own son what Blue Mountain State show was and he informed me that is a show that people do funny stuff like they boys on my bus did. So the next morning I stopped at the store before my route and picked them up a fresh loaf of bread. When I got to their stop I handed it to one them and said “ for the next time you get hungry for bread” they all laughed and told me I was awesome! I thanked them for the great new material for my new blog!
The other day one of my grade school girls got on the bus and asked me “ why do you have your pretty face on today?” yes I was wearing a little makeup that day but I was unaware that I had my not so pretty face on most of the time.
There are only 24 more days left of school so this is what we call our busy season. It is where we have our regular routes, sport teams that we have to transport plus teachers are all trying to get all of there field trips in before school ends. So there is a lot of shuffling going on with what buses and routes people are driving. in fact we have everyone driving that has a CDL in our district right now. therefore on the road you don’t know who you will run into or who will be driving your route when you are gone. for example this week I was going because my husband had to have surgery on his shoulder. A co-worker of mine drove my route and he just so happened to turn on the radio so the kids could listen to music. Now I know this because I had a bunch of students tell me when I got back, “ the other driver played music, I thought you said the radio was broken?”. Yep I was busted! A few years ago I used to have the radio on all the time. Then the requests started for me keep changing it to other stations and turn the volume up or down. Plus the students would try to talk over the music so it would then get really loud. So I started just telling them that the radio was broken... problem solved. Well now I am thanking my co-worker for throwing me under the bus! Just FYI.. That radio will be broken again on Monday :)
