So this morning like the past 3 mornings before I took Diego to the bus stop. I was pretty lazy and it's my Mom's day off so I took him in the van. Literally like a minute and a half drive once I turn around and park on the side of the street. But hey it was better than walking 6 minutes or so. So we get off and wait for the bus. We hear the bus coming and it turns the corner from the opposite side. His bus usually goes west down our street and makes a left turn to the park. But this bus was coming east on the street and made a right. I found this unusual. So I look at the side of the bus and see the bus is number 45... his bus is 35. So as he starts making his way to get on I say, "Hold on, this isn't your bus..." But all the usual kids jump on it like nothing. A little girl sees my hesitation and turns to me and says, "Oh it's okay... sometimes we have to ride this bus instead because our bus isn't coming." So I let Diego get on.
I get in the car and drive back to my house. As I am pulling into my driveway I see a school bus pass my house behind me and I catch a glimpse of the number... and it says 35... going in the direction of his bus stop. So I put the van into reverse and follow it. It goes to the bus stop and kinda just sits there for a minute. Then it continues on. So I think... "Oh shoot, it did come! Now how will I know if Diego will make it to school in time?" I know the other bus would eventually end up at his school but this made me worried. Again.
So I drive through the neighborhood seeing if I can find bus number 45 again. Nope. I see 41, 42, 25... but not 45. So at this point I decide to just drive to his school. I pull into the parking lot where the busses drop off... and the only bus there is number 35... his original bus. So I drive to the front of the school and park. I get off and I walk towards the cafeteria... and once inside I peek my head through the door and start scanning the room. There are millions of kids. (Well it seemed like it) And then I spot him at the front of the long line grabbing his breakfast. PHEW!
And I ducked out of there quickly so he wouldn't see me.
This bus situation is just making me all wacko! LOL But he made it there and in time to eat.

I love your new look! I don't like that Sabby rides a bus up in Tahoe either. I appreciate your hesitation. I'd have done exactly what you did! MAKE sure Diego got to school! I'd have been in a panic too. And for anyone who wonders why not walk 6 minutes to a bus stop? It's HOT here.. that's why LOL Hope you're doing well. Good Luck in CA. Hope the party was fantastic. So sorry I missed it. My new dress is still hanging out ready to put on for the party :( The tooth DID get saved and now all bonded to the other one.. So that's good. Still want to help make the book of pics.
Just reading your story made me nervous. I'd go crazy too. It pleases me to see your dedication with your kids.
Besitos,
Tia Chely
