That was the longest week I have had in awhile. The afternoon route has just been so busy and crowded. I am sitting at 61 Pre-K through 2nd grade children. I tried to put them into assigned seats and boy was that a failure! I don’t know what my plan B is. I think I will just let them sit where they want. I was informed yesterday that we have a new driver coming in, so in two weeks or so, I shouldn’t be driving a regular route anymore. I’m excited to be getting back to just subbing.
I did that trip down to Rockdale on Saturday. It was a decent 15 hours of work. We got down to Rockdale around 5 and the temp was at 109. It was ridiculously hot. I was so glad that it was the shortest football game I have been to. a 180 piece band was unloaded, played for the game, and reloaded leaving the parking lot in just over 3 hours.
Sunday was a slightly relaxing day. I did the laundry and got things done. We have been cleaning our backyard and working on deciding what we are going to do. Our hope is that we will be able to do a lot of it ourselves once the weather cools down. We have to see whether or not it will be cheaper to do pavers or cement for the patio. I’m going to ask my boss for a quote since he lays concrete on the side. I know the quote we got from a landscaper was $2600, so we are hoping for a much smaller quote. We don’t think it should really cost $10/sq ft. So.. I guess we just wait and see.
