I'm back.....

I was informed today that it had been awhile since I posted and then my blog clarified that - it has been three weeks!!! I had no idea so much time has gone by. I could go on and on about what all has been going on out here on the Indian Burial Ground, but I think I will sum it up by telling you about yesterday (Friday, November 21)

As I was getting ready for the afternoon route, Alexa came to the stairs and hollered at me. I asked what she needed,
Alexa: The cat is peeing in that car that is in my closet (a Barbie car that belonged to Amber).
Me: Did you stop her?
Alexa: No, she is doing it now.
Me: Go get her out of the car, don't let he continue to do that. Then get the car, take it outside and clean up all the spills.
Alexa: Okay.
Me (later): Why didn't you just grab her out of the car instead of letting her do that?
Alexa: I didn't know I was supposed to.

ARRGGG!!

Then on the bus, my boss had to ride with me because of the way that the middle school boys were behaving. As we got back to the primary school to load up the regular route kids, she came back to my bus again and 2 of my big problem children started mouthing off to her. Big time. She was so mad she was going back to her office to write one of them up. She got off the bus and they started cussing at each other. She got back on and pulled both of them off and hauled them into the principle's office. Every kid on my bus, even those who had been laughing at these boys earlier, stopped talking and stared. There was more than one dropped jaw. It was wonderful. But all this drama had us leaving the school about 10 minutes late. So as we are driving to the first stop - haven't even left town yet - one of the boys informs everyone within earshot that he has just wet his pants! Then as various girls are being their normal drama queen selves, and gagging, I am informed that a girl in the back (totally unrelated incident) is about to throw up. Two kids ran up and grabbed a convenience bag. This girl filled up 2 bags! A very sweet boy, who was helping her by holding the bag, dropped it and vomit went everywhere. Then almost every kid in the back half of the bus started making rude comments embarrassing this poor girl further.

So then when I get home - very late - I rush to head out to dinner with April (one of Amber's BFFs), her friend Tina, and my friend Brenda, I tell Mike: When I get home I have to tell you about the drama on my bus today.
Mike: Do I care?
Me: No, probably not
Mike: Am I in any way connected to these kids?
Me: No, but you are connected to me!!! And then in a most mature fashion, I stomp up the stairs and slam the door when I leave.

He irritates me so much sometimes. He is so much like his parents in that he doesn't care about anyone but himself or the things that affect him - personally. And the things that affect his family, aren't things that affect him. So I went from having this day that was somewhat amusing, somewhat frustrating, to being extremely angry with my husband. He had been doing so much better...I should have known. That is when I always get sucked in and then he yanks the rug out from under me. Plus the other day he called Andrew weak. After a week, Andrew is still upset about it. Big time ARRGGG!

That is life in a nutshell right there. Today I spent 12 hours on an ambulance for my last clinical. I think I am going to do a couple of ride alongs after I finish my testing, just for the experience. From today until December 20th, it is going to be nose to book for me. I will be so happy for Christmas break. Next semester I am only taking Microbiology and Therapeutic Nutrition, so even though I will hate every minute of it and whine constantly about Micro.....it shouldn't be such a big load.....................hopefully.

One more thing. I read Twilight last Friday....I don't see the big appeal. If I am going to read a vampire book, I much more prefer Charlaine Harris. Her books are very witty (even though they have some naughty parts). I much more prefered Kansas Weddings, which I also read last weekend. (I was having a bit of trouble sleeping)

Janette....you can't yell at me until after the 20th for not posting.....hahahahaha
