Wowwww, I had a total FREAK TARD moment this morning. Let me tell you how dumb I feel .... Picture it, my house, 9am ... I had just woken up, Gracie lying on my chest, I set her down, go get her a bottle, open the computer to check on my blog buddies and then the phone rings. (3 calls in a row) First call was the school's bus garage ... a made a call last night - which I'll explain in a minute - second call was my hubby and third call was Hannah's school - ok ? So here's my freak tard moment ... listen to this ....
niceschoollady: Hello ? May I please speak to Tammie ?
ME: Oh yes ma'am, I'm Tammie.
niceschoollady: Hello, and good morning, I am Hannah's specials teacher and I'm just calling to make sure Hannah is doing ok.
ME: Um, yeea. ok... I'm sure she's fine ...... WHY ?
niceschoollady: Well.... she didn't come to class today and since were doing a play and she was so excited about it and wasn't here - I was concerned.
ME : SHE'S NOT THERE ???????
niceschoollady: No - she's not ... is she home sick today ?
ME: UM, nooooooo. My kids are all at school right now ... it is a bit after 9 isn't it ?
niceschoollady: Well, yes ..... did she miss the bus perhaps ?
ME: ...(pause) ...Um, no ... I think I'd know if she had, although I was sleeping.
niceschoollady: Well, oh my goodness ... let me call the bus garage to see if she got on or off ... ok ?
ME: Ok... I will go check upstairs - just in case.
niceschoollady: ok, I'll stay here.
ME: OK.
I then go run up the stairs fast as I can ...... and there .... in her bed, is Hannah. There in her bed is Brittany .... WHAT THE FRICK - I yell out, they startle awake and say whats wrong ? I say ummmmmmmmm, gee - does the fact that it is a little after 9 mean anything to you ????? SHOOOOOT - Brittany screams out - then the house erups in chaos.
I did let lady at school know and got A to waste the gas and drive back home to drive the kids to school to drive back to work ... but mannnnnnnn, WHAT A FREAK TARD I AM !!!!
I just must have sounded as stupid as all hell ---- DUHHHHHH ! I am sleeping - and don't even know my kids missed the bus and aren't in school !!!!
:o( God, My brain just don't think when I first wake up ! What a dork !
Sooooo - ok, back to the other phone call from the school bus garage ....
My kids have this god awful bus driver named Harold - who harrassess and picks on kids, plays horrible music with curse words in it and what not ... just does innappropriate things ... well, we've been "dealing" with this jerk for almost 2 years now and yesterday I had it ! Brittany came bursting into the house upon getting home yesterday, and told me that Harold had given all the big kids assigned seats up front and was talking about his private parts and being nasty. She said she was just mortified and so grossed out that she never wants to ride the bus again. I know Brittany likes to exaggerate sometimes, but I just blew up and called the bus garage ...I had to leave a message so this morning they got back to me .....and I answered some questions of what I knew .... I am hoping something is done this time because I am sooooooooooooooo tired of this guy and nothing being done. I would seriously just drive my kids to and from school if STUPID gas wasn't bankrupting me ! GRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!
So that is my day so far .... hope yours is going well !!!! :O)
Holy crap! I hope they do something, like fire his a@@. Call the schoool board and if nothing does get done, then call the news...no one wants their organization on the news in a bad light.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry we all have those moments..it happens <<>>
OOOOOH.... I do hope they fire him..... I will laugh so much, I cannot stand him .... lol... is that wrong ? :O)
ReplyDeleteNot where your kids are concerned!!!
ReplyDeleteWELL THEN ....

Did they can his sorry ass??!!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea yet. But it would be nice.
ReplyDeleteThey should. That is so wrong what he is doing...
ReplyDeleteThat bus driver needs his ass kicked! There is no excuse or reason for crap like that! Surely something will happen to him....
ReplyDeleteAnd one of these days you guys wil sooooo be laughing about "the time that we overslept and Mom thought that we were at school"!!
Omg...I can't believe he hasn't been fired yet! I'm sure some of the kids had to of told their parents the things he says and does. Ick that creeps me out. I wouldn't let my kids ride that bus until he was gone!
ReplyDeleteAnd LOL@ that phone call!
I don't want to either, but we just cannot afford the gas :O(
ReplyDeletegeesh what a loser bus driver...i hope he gets the boot! There is no sense in that behavior in an environment of children!
ReplyDeleteThat would have freaked me out..everyone missing the bus....That's happened to meg once but Nick can take her on the way to work if she's missed it. Her bus comes at 6.50am! Can you imagine!!
Glad they all got off to school and you could start the day!
That's the exact time my kids bus comes, hence my sleeping.... they usually get up and out the door without me even waking, it was quiet - so I thought they were all gone ...lol.
ReplyDeleteI hear that....
ReplyDeleteOh that is terrible about the bus driver and he should be fired! Ugh I don't understand how some people get and keep the jobs they have and then good people trying to do there jobs right get fired! Just wrong!! I hope something gets done! He sounds like someone I would like to punch!!! Oh yikes on everyone missing the bus and I can just see you as you were telling the story! OH my!! I hope your evening will be good! Hugs to you!!
ReplyDeleteOh man, that bus driver is just NOT RIGHT! Expecially in this day and age where you say ONE little thing wrong and it gets blown out of proportion...I'm suprized he wasn't cought sooner. Either way...I'm hoping he will get the help he needs!!
ReplyDeleteMan they sure better do something about that perv that is just sick and let me tell you it's not just in your area.. buses, bus drivers and the busing systems are out of control and in need of an overhaul... this sickens me!!!
ReplyDeleteI would NOT put my kids back on that bus until something is done. If you have to go higher up the chain, even the news media if needed. It sounds like he is a pervert and shouldn't be working around children.
ReplyDeleteLMAO at you not knowing the kids missed the bus. Do they usually get themselves up and off on their own? Or were you just half asleep and not realizing what had happened? lol
LOL..the story about the kids missing the bus was hillarious! Probably not to u huh?!..hehe! ....And I really hope they get rid of that Bus Driver! That's crazy!
ReplyDeleteSo wrong what Harold is doing. And sorry to all the harolds out there, the name is just pervy. Hope you get him a one way ticked to the unemployment line!
ReplyDeleteI have to say - freak tard is a new fave word. Holy schmo, tho - kiddos still sleeping!
I would have freaked out this morning when I got the call asking where my kid was. I think one time when Matt was in preschool I was sick and when my alarm went off to get up in planned on calling in....well I ended up shutting it off. A few hours later a friend at work called to see if I was ok.
ReplyDeleteI would keep calling either the school or the bus company until this guy gets the boot! He does not belong driving kids to school.
