Darn bus schedules.

So I recieved the kid's bus schedules in the mail, and today was the first day of school. The schedule stated that my oldest child would be taking the bus to the school right around the corner, the same school he walked to last year. I was a bit confused, but we waited for the bus this morning none the less. Well it never came, so I drove him and told him to figure out if he's actually taking the bus or not. As it turns out, he is not. Why then did they send me his schedule? Well this isn't the first time the bus schedule has made a mistake. Last year was the twins first year in kindergarten. I recieved a bus schedule for 3 children. The twins.... and my toddler!!!! The bus showed up on the first day and I said "Are you really taking my 15 month old to school?" I'm not sure how it happened because it's not like I enrolled the child in school. I still think it's really funny. I just don't know why it's so easy to mix up the information. Have you have had a similar experience with your child's school bus schedule?

we always have bus issues. And taking him in the morning and letting him ride home for the driver to know where we live doesn't help. They have a different driver in the morning. For at least the first week my son didn't get home until almost 5!!!!! School is out at 3! And then they wonder why he can't sit still on the bus. I only live 3 miles from the dang school. I know they have to make lots of stops, but 2 hrs to sit on a bus? That is ridiculous! How did they get your toddler's name anyway? That's crazy.

I am surprised that they even had the toddler on the list. That is just strange. We always had problems with the bus on the first day of school. We finally figured it was easier to take them on the first day and ride home and then the bus driver would know where to go. But around here you have to live two miles from the school to be eligible to ride the bus.
