This time of year, I always think in routines, as in this happened last year will be the same this year. I mean, after all, nothing has changed. But I’m always wrong. 😑 Take bussing for example. My ND daughter attends a ND-affirming school from 830-230 but has a one-hour drive each way. Since school started, she hasn’t been home before 430 every day. Why is the return trip is taking 2+ hours? It didn’t last year. 🤷♀️ Same thing happened to my son. My son takes the same bus with the same schedule as last year. He’s in middle school, but the bus he boarded his first day was filled to capacity with high school students. Throughout the ride, the HS kids swore, harassed, threatened, and intimidated the MS kids. When we complained, we were told that due to a driver shortage this would continue for the rest of the school year. WTF? 🤦🏼♀️ Ughhh. All this to say, that it’s always something. This wasn’t an issue last year - at all - but one week in and we’re dealing with it everyday.
