This afternoon was going to be very busy. I was going to pickup the boys and take them to Karate. I had to pick them up around 3:45pm so I could get them home, cleaned and dressed for Karate. Mark’s class is at 4:30pm and Johnathan’s is at 5:30pm. So I have to get them both there by 4:30pm. I pickup Johnathan and go looking for Mark Jr. They say he hasn’t come off the bus yet. So I take Johnathan, put him in the MDX and we wait for the school bus along with the teacher that is waiting for other kids as well. So the 1st bus comes and he isn’t on it. He isn’t supposed to be I find out so that is OK. The 2nd bus shows up and he isn’t on that bus. Problem is he is SUPPOSED TO BE ON THAT BUS!!! The driver gets on the CB and says, “does anyone have a Mark Vivanco on their bus?” There is silence. She said they were all probably driving and trying to yell to the back for someone to respond to the name. No one came back saying anything so she said she will keep on them and call the daycare back when they find out where he is. I figure its a good thing Millie isn’t here because she would be going ballistic. I am trying to remain as calm as I can be and I am not calling her at home to tell her he is currently missing. Its been about 20 minutes I have been waiting for someone to come out of the daycare to tell me they got the call and they know where he is. My phone rings and its Millie calling me from home (she stayed home that day) asking me if I was waiting for Mark Jr.? I said, “YEAH!” She replied, “He is here. They took him home.” Apparently Mark Jr. thought he was taking the same bus number he took in the morning. So he got off when it came to his stop. Well at least he knew were we live
These kids will give me a heart attack one day!
