What a day!

Sometimes I think I'm just getting too old!!!...LOL

Yesterday we had a two hour delay for school. Because of the temps and to give the plows a chance to clear the roads from the snow we had.

I went out and started the bus, no problem. Went back inside to get ready and get on here..lol. Then at 8:00 AM (I leave at 9) I went out to move the bus up closer to the house. IT WOULDN'T MOVE!!! My brakes were froze. The transportation director came out and tried to pull me, but it wouldn't work. So I rode back to school with him to get another bus. Ran my route, although 30 minutes late, but hey, the kids don't mind.

When I got home, I had to take the salamander (sp) out to try and heat up the breaks. It was a lot of work, I had to shovel a path around the rear of the bus to pull the salamander out, get it all plugged in and then wait on it to thaw. Took over 45 minutes, but I was able to get the bus moved and drove it for the afternoon route.

I am just getting too old for shoveling snow and hauling big heaters around in it...LOLOL I was so worn out and then with this cold, I went to bed at 7:30 last night. This morning, I am so sore I feel like I was hit by a 'bus.'

Isn't spring here yet?????
