first day of year 8

well today was corey's first day of high school!!!!! doesnt he look happy???? lol

well what a first day to remember in this house - at about 2pm ray and i had a panic that corey would miss the bus ( she has to leave at 3.05 to meet the train to get to the prison on time) so if the kids miss the bus its about a 40 min wait till one of us can go get them... so at 2pm i drove into caboolture to wait - just in case... got a few things and jumped in the car at 3.05, got to maccas and got a traffic report d'ag high way closed until 6pm - um that is our way home and where is thw school bus - head out to the school - no bus no kids, no stress they may have been pass it, go to a friends house for a quick cuppa - thinking the road is shut - no point hurrying home - ring ray at 4pm no corey, ring ray at 4.30 no corey - starting to stress - a little - i know he was on a bus - just didnt know where - meanwhile i am stuck in cab and ray is about to leave for work and still no corey....... ring bus co - they have been put on a cat 3 bus ( with seat belts and 4wd) ok no worries - can you get a message to corey on the bus to get off at woodford and a friend will pick him up there - bus co - um we currently have no conatct with the bus - but i can assure they are all safe on the bus - ok no stress - we dont get much service out here- 4.45pm no bus, no corey - ray has to go work and i am still stuck in cab, friend rings she has her son - cool corey gets off at the stop before so he should be home - ring home no corey - ray says i will go looking for him.... finds him at the bus stop, talking to the police - the road closure starts at the end of our street ( top of the d'ag range) corey say the policeman was getting wet in the rain so he asked him if he would like a jacket, the policeman said yes its in the back of the cop car can you please get it ... so while he is being a good samaritan ray turns up to see corey getting out of a cop car - talk about freak out!!!!!! so coreys home and rays gone to work so i decide to find a way home.... well the detour takes up up and over mt mee - one lane no lines range!!!!! its pouring down rain, i have never driven this road( for good reason ) and now i HAVE NO choice - omfg i havent not been so worried driving like this for a very very long time!!!!!!! but we are all home now safe and sound the moral of the story - have faith in my children's abilitly to deal with whatever life throws at them.....

lets hope tomorrow is better...
