Just to clear up a few things

I know I haven't posted anything in awhile, but I'm back on nights which means if I'm not sleeping, I'm getting the kids off the bus and then bookin' it to work. But there is a comment that was posted that kinda irked me a little so I wanted to clear things up.

That day last month that Logan didn't get off the bus was something that I do not wish to repeat, ever. And yes, I have used my imagination because I am blessed/cursed with a very active one, so I know worse things could have happened. But to clear the air, Logan didn't lie, he got confused. The boys had a doctor's appointment that morning, so their regular routine was screwed up. Mind you, the kids hadn't been in school for more than a month when this happened and this is Logan's first ever experience with anything like school. I couldn't afford the $300 a week to put him in day care and since I am the only income supporting these kids, I took advantage of the fact that Granny is here during the day.

Because the boys had that appointment that morning, obviously they couldn't ride the bus to school. I had to take them to school, sign them in, then walk them to their classrooms. I completely understand how Logan got confused and thought that I was also going to pick them up. I really don't appreciate the comment on how he lied so he wouldn't have to ride the bus. To him, riding the bus is FUN, why would he lie? And for cryin' out loud, the boy is 5, can we cut him a little slack here folks? The bottom line is the school officials f****d up. And if I hadn't been home on nights, Logan would have waited at the school until after 5 pm before anyone could have picked him up. And the school officials NEVER called to tell me Logan was in the office. I had to call them.

I, too, understood that Logan lied to jeep from riding the bus...I think you took the comment too personally. Breath Sister! The office should havce called you immediatly to inform you that Logan was in the office and I can't understand why they wouldn't. But, at least it shouldn't happen again. Alls well that ends well.
