There isn't a rhyme or reason for where people park or any kind of organization. Parents start parking and lining up 30 minutes before school is out to "get a good spot". It's crazy. When I taught in Texas, all the schools that I worked in had an organized pick up with no trouble. I feel bad for you. It must be a headache!<br /><br />Thanks for linking up my IRL friend!Impulsive Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237017735466455817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-38695571798193294102012-05-22T13:44:08.877-07:002012-05-22T13:44:08.877-07:00Whether there are buses or not, there are ALWAYS p...Whether there are buses or not, there are ALWAYS parents who think they're above the rules.

My boys are still asleep at that time. However, the bus ride home has been a nightmare. Nolan has been bullied so much this year and the bus driver- while very nice- is not a disciplinarian. I have called transportation soooo many times about my kid being physically hurt on the bus. *sigh*Foursonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470306593323990269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-85790734159573888302012-05-22T09:28:25.767-07:002012-05-22T09:28:25.767-07:00I am glad I don't have to deal with this yet b...I am glad I don't have to deal with this yet but line cutters are also a pet peeve of mine.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311088408907148236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-45250602128227801322012-05-22T09:25:50.652-07:002012-05-22T09:25:50.652-07:00You know how I avoid this?

The guy leaving the extra space like that was also definitely not cool.<br /><br />Yet another reason I'm so thankful that Princess Nagger's school has buses - and she gets picked up and dropped off practically in front of the house. I'd never have the patience to wait in the drop-off and pick-up lines. :)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://stacysrandomthoughts.com/2012/05/field-trip-fun-ish-future-nagging-guest-blogger-angry-birds-take-on-stonehenge/" rel="nofollow">Field Trip Fun-ish, Future Nagging Guest Blogger, Angry Birds Take On Stonehenge</a>Stacy Uncorkedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084619026794128825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-38643696120631473712012-05-22T08:17:45.436-07:002012-05-22T08:17:45.436-07:00We still have 12 days left, I am so ready for it t...We still have 12 days left, I am so ready for it to be done.
