It's back to the trenches.
I was hoping for a nice 3 days. No Northview. Fully staffed. I had plans.
Phone call at 7am on Wednesday told me that the bus wasn't working.
No one had started the bus all vacation long, so we found out as we were due to take kids to school.
We ended up having Diane and Fred take kids in their cars. We had the bus towed. We rented a bus. Car seats out of our bus and into the rental. Special needs mom wanted Charlie to call her about her son "being lost" before Christmas break. She claims not to have known, even though it was addressed at the time. I tried to call her, but got a very rude voice message. I said I would try calling again in the morning.
Chaos.
Thursday we took the bus back and got our bus back. Car seats out. Car seats in. Sam called in sick, so I had to be part of the ratio. Tried to call mom back and got the same message. I said I would talk with her when she picked her son up. He was the last child to be picked up and Dad was the one who came.
Chaos.
Friday fully bussed and fully staffed. Things went OK. Dad picked up special needs son again, saying Mom was in the car. Discovered the woman who was going to work at Northview got hurt and couldn't work now.
Tomorrow I go back to a 5:15am alarm. I leave at 5:50. I start work at 6:30.
I still think "Settle" is my choice of work.
Settle down
Settle out
Calm my spirit. Focus. One at a time.
