My life has changed!

I started bus driving on Monday and my life (routine would probably be better) has changed. Up at 5 am and in the office between 8:30 and 9:00. This is a good thing. Afternoons after 1:00 are pretty well shot. It really has been fun for the most part. I picked up 2 boys from our church yesterday and seeing the look on their faces when they realized I was driving was priceless. I have a new appreciation for teachers. At least I get to drop them off. Here are some things I have seen in just the few short days on the job:

• A middle schooler who could stick his tongue all the way up his nose thus eliminating the middle man and keeping his fingers free of debris.
• A first grade girl with more boyfriends than Solomon had wives. She had to break up with one because he was crazy. She already had one crazy boyfriend but she couldn't handle two crazy boyfriends.
• A high schooler that made me think that this insurance better be worth it.
• Another first grade girl who like to point at everything with her middle finger to the horror of every other kid on the bus.
• I went down a big windy hill and when I looked up in the mirror all the kids had their hands up like they were riding a roller coaster.
• I didn't know that their were still dirt roads in Cherokee County.
• Nobody likes to be behind a bus so everybody pulls out in front of the bus. I wish they realized that busses carry kids.

Its all good though. I am grateful for this opportunity. I think it is good for me.
