Well this past week was wild to say the least...not much related to H other then just trying to keep him motivated to get a job...
It started out with me taking Tues. morning off so I could go to his first Psychiatrist appointment...I wanted to make sure that if things were a bit emotionally rough for him that he would get home safe...
So now the drama begins...I went to my early morning Jazzercise class and when I returned home my sister called me all in a panic...saying she was scared to death and so glad that I didn't go to work today...so obviously I ask what she is talking about...she says "Your bus was in a serious accident (I drive a school bus for special needs children) and they have closed off the road, life flight is taking two kids to children's hospital, and they are calling for grief counselors"...well I freaked out because my oldest D is also my transportation assistant and I had driven her to work....so my first thought was "Oh my GOD, Bonnie!"...My sister then told me she was sorry she didn't mention that she had talked to my other D who also works on a bus and she found out that another AIDE called in sick so they pulled my oldest from my route to put on another route that has medically fragile children....so WHEW...my D was okay...then my thoughts went to my "kids"....well thankfully later the news said that they life-flighted the two students as a precaution and because the traffic was making it impossible to get the ambulance to the scene in a timely manner...As it turns out, they were all okay...just scared and a bit jostled about...the bus driver....she had just retired and told them that was the very last day she would drive...and it was but thankfully she was just banged and bruised....nothing broken...the other driver who hit the bus broadside doing an estimated 75 MPH while talking on her cell phone (23 years old...go figure) was the worse for it all...she had glass cuts (hitting bus is like hitting a tank!) and neck/back injuries...very scary and very tragic...
So now to my future funnest summer ever...instead of driving for summer school I am going to be a camp counselor and driver for our city day camp program...I get to go to all the local amusement parks, provided most of my lunches, paid entrance, plus going to local sights and beaches!!!...a different field trip every day!!!...WAIT...it get's better...because we are lower income...my son gets a scholarship that pays for a portion of the day camp for him, plus I get a small discount for being an employee....plus he is with me for most of the camps...and the tuition I do pay is tax deductible!!!...so I get to play all summer, drive in cush a/c vans, and work full-time instead of part-time...making this what could be the most EXHAUSTING summer EVER...what was I thinking...I have to keep up with 10 kids for 9 weeks solid!!!...well...I won't be getting any fatter this summer, lol...
So that is where I am at currently...hope you are all doing well and taking care....LIN
