Today is the first day of Summer session. I am monitoring for another driver. We have 15 kids from preschool to 6 th grade with a variety of handicaps, including one wheelchair.. I was a special service aide for many years so I am very experienced with these special children.
I did get a workout though. Had to have a 3 year old show me how to hook his carseat (kidding~sort-of) but I managed to get every body settled in in a timely manner. Our route takes over an hour because our district is huge. I actually like monitoring it's less stressful than rushing around driving and I am all about less stress this summer. Especially with the temps reaching 90's today with high humidity. I was done this morning by 9:00 am and will be going back at 11:15 until 1:00...not a bad summer schedule! And I really like hanging out with the kiddo's!

Why couldn't I have had you for my bus driver. LOL I always ended up with the South Park bus Driver. LOL Nicki
I always loved working with children too. Never rode a bus but did a huge amount of babysitting other people's children and reading stories to little ones. Loved it then, love it now. Hugs. *Barb
The kids are lucky to have you to watch them.So glad you have shorter hours and more time for yourself and family. I love kids to,but the noise gets to me sometimes. I like your journal.
Love
