Well, you know Leeza had to have a bus adventure. Last year they parked her in the bus parking lot and almost forgot her on the bus. If she hadn't sneezed, who knows how long she would be there. This year has topped that. Last week, I called the bus company to confirm everything. THey had all the info except they didn't have their schedule yet. Monday, the school gave the the bus schedule- pick up at day care at 8:37and return at 11:51. Monday night I got home to a message from the bus company saying they would pick her up at 8am. I called and told the answering machine that my daughter would not be riding that bus for an hour and that that was not the right schedule. They called back at 6am Tuesday and said, yes that was the schedule. I told them that I did not want her on a bus for that long and that I would not be putting her on the bus. I went to day care that morning to take Leeza to school and at 8:37 (meaning her ride would be about 13 minutes) a bus pulled up as we were leaving for school asking for Leeza Harmon. Since the time was correct, I talked to the driver to make sure she had everything correct and put her on the bus. I skipped lunch to make sure they got her back ok and called at noon and she had gotten back ok. There was no school Wednesday. Thursday, I thought it was all ok since Tuesday had worked out well, but when I got out of a meeting, I got a message from the school principal that they had put her on a Mt ZIon bus and sent her home. Since no one was there, they were returning her to daycare. It turns out, it was an 1 1/2 hour ride for her on a regular school bus- not the special smaller ones they usually use. Plus they parked outside our house while they argued where leeza should go and who should take her there so Leeza saw her house, but couldn't go in.
The principal had left a cell phone number where I could call her back. When I called her back, I got voice mail and 15 minutes later I still got voice mail so Mama left a rather not nice message. At the end of the message, I accused them of not caring about kids and trying to kill my daughter. OK, so mama lost it a little, but they put the kid on a bus with no AC and no water in 90+ temperatures for 1 1/2 hours. They had to change her clothes when she got to day care since she was soaked with sweat. So now I know somewhere in her permanent school file is now the statement- Nice kid- Psycho mom! But I bet they won't screw up the bus again.
