My Mama's B-day


Happy Birthday to my Mama


The big 62


This will be a great year for her. She is going to retire and keep the sweetest kids on earth, at least that is what I'm telling her now since she is going to be keeping my kids. She will find out soon enough that the sweetest description is not always true.


Just kidding, she lives with me and knows well enough what she is getting into, which might be why she keeps telling me she hopes she is doing the right thing. (ha ha)


For those who do not know me I'm the biggest Mama's girl, ever since I was little and now into my Thirty's I talk to my Mom everyday even before, when she did not live with us. I love her more than anything and she is one of my best friends.


Love Ya Mama

(your favorite daughter) sh sh we want tell Lea-Ann

Nine Years Old




I can't believe that I have a nine year old.



Yep, this time nine years ago today I had a little baby boy. He had a few problems when he was born, but you would never know it now. So in honor of my oldest child, here are nine things I love the most about Cole Scott Harmon.



1. Those baby blue eyes.



2. You are never at a lost for words.


3. That you make me laugh everyday, you are one of the funniest people I know.


4. You have never met a stranger.


5. You dance like no one is watching. ( maybe not such a good thing sometimes Ha Ha)


6. You tell me you love me the most even though some days I know your Dad is your favorite.


7. You take care of your brother and even will wipe his butt if I'm busy.


8. You love and respect your grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles.


9. Most of all your my oldest son,you hold a special place in my heart, I will never forget the day you were born it was the first day of the rest of my life and it has been the best days since.


Love Ya


Mom

My friend Tiffany tagged me...and I thought this would be fun.


So, here's what you do:


1. Go to your 4th folder where you store your photos.


2. Select the 4th photo (no exceptions).


3. Post the picture with an explanation.


4. Tag 4 people to do the same.



This is Mark and Carson doing what they both love the most about spring and summer, cutting grass almost every week. Carson loves it so much that Mark sometimes puts the blade up and they just ride around the yard.

Who is in charge of this Bus?

Most of you know that I'm a bus driver. That being said I must vent.

It is conference week in my district which means elementary and middle school gets out of school 2 hours early all week. I do not have a regular route, I'm what they call a retainer driver, I drive for those regular drivers who are out. I drive everyday but different routes. So I'm doing a route Tuesday afternoon and in the area I'm in it is not customary for the parents to be out at the bus stop to retrieve their kids(yes that is right elementary kids getting off the bus with no adult in site, crazy right?) So I let this brother and sister off at their stop they are kindergarten and 2nd grade, I finish the rest of the neighborhood. On the way out I see them running up the street away from their house with their book bags still on, the rest of the kids on the bus are screaming oh their mom is not home (again). I stop the bus and ask them is your mom home? At first I was thinking maybe the mom forgot about the early release this week. They say no but we are suppose to go to the neighbors house when she is not here.(the neighbor eight houses up) I ask them if they have a note on file at the school that states this, so that I could call on the two-way radio to the school to confirm. No we do not have a note, I then ask does your normal bus driver let you do this? answer is no. I then say, get back on the bus,I will take you back to school. I'm not leaving you both here alone. I then finish the route, we are pulling into the school about 15 minutes later when out of nowhere here comes mom flying into the school and pulls in front of my bus and she is mad at me. It seems that I made the wrong decision in caring for the safety of her children and even though I'm not their regular driver, I should have listened to her 5 and 7 year old children and let them go where she told them if she was not at home on time. I apologized but then said to her, now put yourself in my shoes would you have left them? She said yes I would have listened to the children.

Well Thank God you are not a bus driver.

If I listen to children all day and did what they instructed, they would be driving the bus and stopping at every McDonald's we past and all getting off the bus at the cool kids house for the afternoon.

Sorry for the long post just needed to get that off my chest.

By the way, checked with regular driver today. This mom is always late and several times has been mad that children were left alone when the neighbor was not at home, which is where they are to go when she is late.

As you can see to the left I have started reading Twilight.
I know I'm behind, but actually I bought it for my niece for Christmas so she could read it first to see if it was scary, because I'm a big chicken and do not like to read something scary. So,she read it,loved it, and approved it can now be read my her aunt who by the way is a sissy about scary stuff.

Brrrrrrrr

It is cold here in Georgia, and when then temperature gets to be 25 and under that means a cold start for the bus drivers. Yeah can't wait, that means you have to be on your bus 30 minutes earlier. So if you are up at 5:45 a.m. and you are wondering what Amanda's doing ? I'm on my bus to make sure it cranks and that it is warm for the lovely children.

By the way a cold start is in place until next Tuesday.

Which means I need to go to bed

Good Night
