Bus...BUS....BBBBBUUUUUUSSS!!!!!!!

To say Harrison loves a bus is an understatement. One of his favourite things to do is watch Sister get off the school bus. It is extra special at Nanny's house since the bus drops off Sister then loops back by Nanny's house on the way out of the subdivision. Today I got a great video of Harry and his sister waiting and watching the school bus.


Enjoy!!! (But not as much as Harry obviously!)

Victoria and the bus

I hate mornings...let me just start by saying that much. We survived the madness of Monday and Tuesday where both Victoria and I had to be up, ready and out the door to school or work by 7:35am. Today however something went terribly wrong. I don't know exactly why or how or what happened but my alarm didn't go off...and neither did hers. She woke up or rather woke ME up at 7:25am!!!! I did one of the terrible convenience breakfasts (instant hot cereal, juice and milk) again don't judge me I had NO time to work with. I couldn't find Vicotria's home work book and searched everywhere before finding it in her toy box in the closet. I have NO idea why it would be in there...or why I even thought to look for it in there hmmm...
In an attempt to save time I decided to get some clothes out for Victoria. I put them on her bed...she tried to argue I told her there wasn't time and to just put the clothes on. While she was getting dressed I went to make Victoria's lunch. To save you the boring play by play everything was going well until I went to get the cream cheese for her wrap out of the fridge. I save the old containers was them and reuse them in an attempt to go green. Yes sad I know but come on admit it you do it too. Anyway I get what I THINK is whipped cream cheese out of the fridge. I tried to get the top off and it didn't want to come off...I tipped it and pulled and the entire contest flew EVERYWHERE!!! Turns out I had put the left over fruit cocktail in it and syrup and all landed all over me and the floor. I was cursing under my breath while scrubbing my floor (ladies water and vinegar works well to get all the sticky off). I throw together Victoria's lunch. Whole wheat turkey wrap, orange slices, grape fruit leather, raisins, yogurt and a reusable bottle full of water. I throw EVERYTHING including next weeks lunch order in her backpack. I throw her hair in a pony tale...she wasn't impressed but I am sure she will get over it.
As I am used to the bus is at the stop down the road. We run and make it.
John (the bus driver) was laughing at us again. I am sure we serve as his morning entertainment.

Monday Madness

Have you ever noticed Monday's just have that feel. The weekend as fantastic. Victoria was visiting with her cousins for the night so I went to Andrea's cabin with her and some friends. It was the first stress free day/night I have had for quite a while. I would have to say the 4 wheeling through the mud was AWESOME. Yes I know I am a girly girl but man it was fun. Once I left however it went down hill fast. Work was just madness as usual and of course the drama that is my life was at a HIGH prior to going in to work. Add that together with the nasty weather and you guessed it a HUGE migraine. That just made waking up to Monday worse than it needed to be. Victoria was so close to missing the bus again...I think tomorrow I will just drive her and save the issue.

We Missed The Bus....

This was my fault. I stayed up way to late last night. I was up until around 3 am on MSN. Obviously I didn't get much sleep. I had trouble getting Victoria up, she wanted to sleep in too the poor kid. Everything went fine until it came time for her to get dressed. Today is school picture day. Victoria wanted to wear a dress, however it was freezing this morning and she wanted to wear a sun dress. Over my dead body. Well by the time she realized that if she wanted to wear a dress she was going to have to cooperate the bus was in the subdivision. We were ready to leave when the bus came up the road. I ended up driving her to school. On the plus side I got to meet her teacher.

Welcome to Terrible Tuesday.
