for two days in a row I have had to contact the school regarding two kids that ride my daughters bus...Apparently they have been threatning a bunch of the kids that ride the bus & have physically hit two or three kids.

Yesterday when I contacted the school I was told it was "being taken care of" one of the students were thrown off the bus for 10 days & the other would be as well, once they got ahold of his parents.

Today, I got a phone from my daughter who was on the bus at the time & the boy was still instigating & threatning the same kids. These kids arn't wimps or anything but the two that are starting all the trouble are very large for their ages and have been in a ton of trouble at school and have been in a program for troubled youth (within the school system) all year. So I don't expect any of them to stand up against these two kids. So again I called the school to report it & headed to the bus stop. I got a voice mail & left a message to which I got no response (I called at 2:20pm it's now 6:23pm....Why would they not call me back? This is incredibly serious & nothing is being done to handle the situation. I am going to ake time over the weekend to e-mail the person in charge of the buses & let him know I think that it was very irresponsible for him not to return my call this afternoon.

Then the kicker - I am sitting here finally calming down from all this & my cell phone rings. Thinking it was the teacher (and without looking) I answered it.

Wrong - not the teacher...my father

"oh gee - I didn't know if you'd be home so I figured I would try to catch you on this phone"

Yeah right - you know my phone is always on vibrate & I barely ever answer it.

Jokes on him though - I turned my ringer on a week or so ago and I answered.

So he's calling to let me know he may send me some "help" may being the operative word - even had the gull to ask how we were managing. He is such an asshole.

The suprise wil be on him when I leave this stinking town and don't leave a forwarding address.

I responded by telling him "we are fine - no thanks to you" and hung up.

So now I am cooped up in this house & it's beautiful outside. I really should have layed out today...I will wish I would have when the kids all are tan & I am still hiding in here pale as a freakin ghost.  ...boo!
