just 10 more

OK, First day of school….remember last week when we were skipped on the transportation sched. and I had to get my dau.’s bus stop set up by a transportation director?????  We were to get to our stop by 6:20am, bus 105 and be the last stop on the route…well, we were there at 6:10am, gave up at 6:50am, walked home,  and I drove her, 1/2 hr. in rush hour city traffic each way; I’m doing 60 on the Blvd……..on my way home after dropping her off, I swear Dunkin Doughnuts just reached out and grabbed me…got caught up with ‘Cap.’, a Viet Nam vet ( 3 tours ) who hangs out there and has not ever really left those years behind;  people kind of avoid him but I used to go in there a lot when my dau. was little (and I was busy getting fat)and the 2 of them really hit it off; he’s never been anything but super kind to her; I still like to check on him now and then……..came home and called the same transportation director and actually got to speak to him after 40min. on hold listening to inane messages; he immediately called the driver who said he took his original message as directions to DELETE the stop:  How can you delete a stop that didn’t exist in the first place?????  It’s a difficult job and the first day was total madness; I could hear tons of background conversations.   The director actually thanked me for being polite to them—good thing he couldn’t SEE me gritting my teeth and speaking through them—-and THIS is why I eat………
