Update

BTW, having just reviewed my last post I think I should update a bit.

I am all moved in to my apartment, I even hung pictures on the walls in the living room. Mom and Albert's house is done... kinda. They are living in it anyway, there are still some small things that need done.

My step-sister (the oldest one) was going to move in with me but she did something very mean to her dad and has been told it would be best for her to stay away for awhile. So now she's not moving in.

Weird thing: I'm obsessed with Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe I have seen the movie and read the book many times before (it's one of my favorites) but lately I don't want to watch anything else. I have watched at least 6 times in the last 5 days. I can quote the movie word for word and know the whole thing off by heart but for some reason nothing else on TV and no other movies seem remotely interesting to me. I've also read the book twice in the last week. I have other books but can't seem to get in to any. Everytime I pick up a different book I put it down and pick up with Ol' Idgie and Ruth. Everytime I start to watch something else I get bored and switch over to Idgie and Ruth. I love the story but will I never get bored with it? I'm annoying myself here. - good thing I live alone!

Okay, keeping up with my blog is not the highest thing on my list of things to do. I admit this but I think it's time for an update.

Did I post that I quit selling PC's? Well, I did. I started driving a school bus. (Frightening isn't it?) I went through the training and all and rode along a couple of times. They have me driving in a small town close to here that until last week I had never been in. I DON'T know my way around there.

Well, I am now driving my own route now. Friday afternoon was the first time that I drove it without an adult in the bus to help me.


ARRRGH!!!!! I am a complete moron!!! I missed one kid's house by like 50 yards. It's not safe to back up in the road like that so I had to set the brakes, turn the bus off, tell the kids on the bus not to move, and then take the keys with me and get out and stand in the road so I could make sure he was safe from cars... Meanwhile he had to run to the bus. (I wouldn't have cared if he walked but his dad was yelling for him to run... Poor little Daniel.)

Then when I had picked up all the kids and got back to the main road ---- I turned the wrong freaking way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kids were screaming, "Where are you going?!? The school's the other way!!!" So I had to find a place to turn around - which is not easy in a bus on a main road BTW.

So then I said to the kids that I was sorry and I know it's a pain to have a new driver this close to the end off the year and that until last week I'd never been in their town before so please try to help me out. This little speech was met with a chorus of, "It's okay, we'll help." (Chorus being about 3 of the 19 kids on the bus this morning.)

Then after I had dropped off all but the middle school kids --- I turned the wrong way AGAIN!!! Luckily for me I was in the right school just at the wrong end of it. The kids were really nice about it and said that they would walk from there and that it was no big deal and not any futher to walk. (I think they recognized that look on an adult's face that says, "Say one word, just one smart ass'ed word and I'm going to SNAP!")

But of course you can't say that to kids on a bus so I just waited until they were all of the bus and then let my head fall none too gently onto the steering wheel.

Maybe this afternoon will be better? :)
