Venting About the Bus Driver and Other Little Kids

I would never wish something too terrible on anyone, but the bus driver, Lisa, could stand to loose her job.  I really hate her.  I'm not gonna lie and I'm not gonna try to be nice, either.  Granted, this time - Joshua was in the wrong, but I still hate this Lisa - and believe, me - she knows it.  And, this 3rd grader named Thomas - yeah, I hate that little jackass, too.  I don't give a rats ass who knows either one of them.  I just want to get in somebody's face and scream, "Leave my little boy alone (and add a lot of expletives)!"  So, what happened this time?  Another stupid kid just happened to say to Joshua and several others that he was smarter than all of them put together.  Joshua got pissed and basically told him to *F* off.  Thomas decided this was another opportunity to tattle.  So, Joshua will once again have to sit at the front of the bus but * Kudos to my little guy * for kicking Thomas in the shin as he got off the bus!  For Joshua - it was the tip of the iceberg, the final straw.  And, frankly - it is for me, too!  Which is why I'm bitching about it now, even though Joshua was clearly in the wrong on this occasion.  But, alas, we must punish for the *F* word - so, he gets a break from video games for a while (well, those rated M).  (Honestly, language doesn't bother me and half the people I know but because society - as if society were a single entity - deems is inappropriate - it's inappropriate (and I roll my eyes!).)  Other than that, if he gets suspended from the bus, I guess he'll just have to 'be sick' because I can't take him.  I just want to give that bus driver my middle finger and spit at her - and that little kid, too.  I'm tired of all the empty threats she's issued my son for things she wouldn't notice in other kids.  And, every time Joshua comes telling me that Thomas tattled on him (half the time for things he didn't do and the other times for things that are damn ridiculous) I have encouraged Joshua to ignore him - and Joshua now has to sit in the front of the bus -again. I'd like to kick that little shit in the butt! 

Tyler is now playing lacrosse

I'm glad to see him in a spot. He and Mitchell are playing together. I'd like to see them stay with it the next three years. He does pretty good, too!  They walk away very sweaty!

Joshua's Golden Birthday!

He's 10!

Funny kid wished for his very own golf simulator. What does he think we're made of??

A rather impromptu party. We really don't go all out. Took Tyler to his violin lesson and while waiting I decided to get a cake and ice cream. I didn't want the ice cream to melt so  -  I kept it cold the easy way....

I put it outside the vehicle while I continued to wait. Great example of taking advantage of this wonderful Wisconsin weather!
