Things went well for us this morning. L got her violin practice and Math done. We took a break after that to take the kitten to the vet for shots. (Bad news: she still has worms, good news: don't have to take her back until it's time to spay at 5-6 months.)
On our return home, L and I had our lunch, read together and planned dinner. When we tried to get back on to the Online School, however, it was down. OK, no problem - we did a few things we could manage off line.
The time came to go pick up Jenna at our friends' house. We waited on the front porch with them and a neighbor, and waited, and waited...Finally the big yellow bus arrived. My friends' boys hopped off and worriedly announced "J got on the wrong bus!" Oh boy. Now what?
I called the school, and notified them. After several minutes, they were able to track her down. I was told that the bus would return to school and I could pick her up there. L and I drove to the school and waited, and waited, and waited...at last a bus pulled up and J stepped down. It was about 4:30.
It ends up that the school disregarded the note I sent this morning regarding afternoon busing (which they TOLD me to send), and sent her on the bus to our house. I wish I would have known to just go home and get her there!
Ends up we had Wendy's for dinner after soccer practice in the mist.
All's well that ends well though. J had a WONDERFUL first day of school, and was not rattled about her long bus ride. She spent most of the trip chatting with her friend who lives up the road, while L and I, and several others, were a bit panicked back in town. L is now determined to go to Public School next year, so that she can be in the same school as J.
We'll cross that road when we get to it!
