I broke tradition today. For the past 11 years I have followed the bus to school. In the early years, riding right behind the bus so the kids could see me through the windows and in the later years when I would be a few cars back....not trying to embarrass them. Even in the later years, they would all look over to car and give me a smile or wave. This year, I stayed home and made them all breakfast and saw them off to the bus.....only one (Chris) or had to drive them to school. I am sure Chris does not even notice that the red rocket is not following the bus. As a 5th grader...he is king of the bus this year.
A chapter closes today......another one will open.....maybe it will be a yearly breakfast send off!
The ride behind the bus is a great memory.....I am sure the kids will always remember their crazy dad insisting on following them.

I knew something was wrong today, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I can't believe you didn't follow the bus! I was counting on you! Just kidding :).
