First Day of School

My dear C is off to 3rd grade. There she was yesterday on her first day back. Isn't she lovely! She was excited and happy to be going back. She likes school, and she missed her friends.

But no first day is without problems. The school district decided to mess with bus schedules and stops, and didn't call us to let us know when and where she'd get the bus until 3pm the day before school started! Arug! They changed her stop! And there were still kids at her old stop! B was livid. I took her in the morning on my way to my one day in the office, and was less than pleased with the arrangements. The bus came down off the highway and stopped to pick them up just around the corner from the off-ramp. There is no stop for traffic coming off the ramp, and folks often don't slow down at all - they just make that right turn. The bus is going to get creamed one of these mornings. B called the school, and after much aggravation, got her stop changed back!

L is mad that C is back in school - she wants her around to play with her (bug her) but she's also very put out that she isn't old enough to go to school. We've been looking into private pre-schools, but they're all so expensive...
