What a week….

I am having. I am having a hard time sticking to plan. There have been changes at work, and hubby comes home a bit grumpy. He has had new things added to his already overloaded job duties. I am trying not to take it personal, but it is like leave it at work, Please!

I also have a new change this week, it started today. We have had a small bus and now we have a van. We only have children so I not surprised with the switch. It is just different and the kids did not take to it to well. The kids look forward to a bus to go to school. Anyways I was told I could have my same car seats and someone would put them in for me this morning and I got the wrong ones. I had to call and have them changed. They gave me car seats that the straps only slip through a plastic piece and is easily undone. I needed the ones I had that snap in and little fingers can’t undo. I have a couple that like to undo themselves and it is not easy to get to them in a van. Work acted like I was a bitch acting for certain car seats, but I don’t care. I am responsible for the safety of the children on my bus (van) and I take the responsibility serious.

Talking about serious. I had an experience on Monday that still has me upset. We were on our afternoon run taking our children home. We were in a small town and going down what is the main street when all of a sudden we see a little boy about 2 or 3 in the street. I was like oh my God, and my driver pulls over and I get off the bus and the little boy gets out of the road. There are no adults around either. I slowly follow the little boy and try to get to him, but he keeps running away. I was trying to talk softly and get him to stop and not run back in the road. He goes around the corner of the first street we come too and about 5 houses up the street the dad comes out and gets him. I say, he must belong to you. He just gives me a funny look and takes the kid home. I wish I had been thinking clearly, but I was just still so shocked that I wasn’t. I wish I had called the police. I keep thinking what if someone else had come along and snatched him, what if he had gotten hit by a car, what if he had crossed the street, there is a big pond not far up the other side. Oh, my it still gets me upset just thinking about it.

I can’t wait I have a five day weekend coming up. Yipee! I need a break.

I hope all my buddies are having an awesome week!
