Summer School Woes!!

Today was the first day of summer school.  Ciara has to go for three weeks from 8-noon.  She works on reading and math skills.  I decided she could ride the bus and I would be able to relax for a few hours a day.  What a mistake!!

We got a letter last week saying the bus would come to 5th st and C.  Duh!! that is only two blocks from the school.  If I wanted her to walk that far, then I could let her walk the rest of the way.  Defeats my purpose.  So today we went to 5th street and waited.  I was hoping I could talk the driver into coming a little closer to our house.  The bus never came.  So I finally took Ciara to school.  Then when she got on the bus to come home, I was waiting again at 5th street.  The bus stopped, but no one got off.  Then the bus took off.  I followed and the bus stopped by our house and she got off and came inside. 

I asked her about the bus ride and she said that the driver kept asking her where she lived and she kept saying up there.  I can only imagine his frustration.  I asked why she didn't give him the bus form that I sent with her and she didn't know!!

She immediately came inside and went to sleep.  After a few minutes, she woke up and asked what she had to do to get to go to the pool.  She did her chores and then I took her to the pool.  I picked her up at 5:30 and she brought a friend home with her for a little while.  I fixed them barbecue wieners and mac and cheese.  Now we are going to go check out a new pool.  Then go to the park and play. 

Hopefully, Ciara and I will both be able to sleep better tonight.
