No to the School Bus...


This is a crazy time of year for Mark with him being in the retail field. He is a Blackberry Rep. (Brand Advocate) for the Dallas area and has to train, assist, sell, and take inventory at pretty much every store in the Metroplex that carries the Blackberry brand. This week one of his bosses came into town and Mark had to go and train in stores with him. Well, this kind of left us in a predicament with Mavery because Mark usually gets his stores done so he can go grab Mavs when she gets out of school. Since I could not get her we decided to let her try out the school bus for the first time. Never again!!


She is pretty social, she gets that from me, but she is also reserved and does not like being around a whole lot of people at once, she gets very anxious. Well, it all started with her having to go to the bus line at school, it was very scary for her and then when she got on the bus the bus driver kept asking her where she lived and Mavery had no idea what to tell her because we had already given the bus people our address and everything so we did not figure that Mavery would need to tell them her exact address. On top of it all the bus driver would not allow her to sit next to anyone she knew. Then, to top it off, she had kids kicking her seat and hitting her with their jackets.


I was waiting for her when she got off the bus, she was crying her heart out. She was so upset, it was a horrifying experience for her. My poor baby! So, needless to say we will not make her ride the bus again, not until she is older and if she wants to. I remember hating riding the bus when I was little, kids were so mean and crazy back then, and today kids are 100 times worse. Thank goodness we are able to get her from school, and not have to worry about her being on a school bus freaking out everyday!!;)
