Helllllooooo, oh lazy days of summer!!!! Where ARE you???
So far, summer has been the sea of madness the rest of the year is. (Minus the homework, which I do appreciate.)
Shout has been in a 1/2 day camp for the past 2 weeks. It took until Day 4 before the camp director had to call me at home about her behavior. (And honestly, it really wasn't that bad. And there have been no incidents since. So hooray for that!)
So I've got my usual half day pickup with her. And Cheer has been in baseball camp this week. Unfortunately, his camp and Shout's camp start at the same time and are in two different directions. Which has forced me to become a master of logistics. I can't even explain all the things I do in the hour between 8 and 9 every morning.
But tomorrow is the last day of all that and we are camp free for a month. (And then Tide goes to camp, but we drop him off and he stays there, so from a carpooling perspective, I am happy about that. From a "Mah baybee is going to his first sleepaway camp" perspective, I'm not there yet.)
And I don't even have to do all the craziness tomorrow because right now, I'm on the Bolt Bus heading towards Newark to pick up Bounce, who is at Camp Cousin for the week.
I have to say, the Bolt Bus is nice. I was a little nervous after I googled "Bolt Bus safety record" and discovered that one of their drivers was arrested for DWI halfway between NYC and DC after THE PASSENGERS ON THE BUS called 911.
*I'll just pause for a second*
But yeah. They run like 10 buses a day and only 1 driver has been arrested for DWI, and I'm guessing he got fired. So my odds are pretty good, right?
The traffic is terrible, but I'm not driving and there's wi-fi and I have like 14 books on my Kindle to read, and a People magazine (and guess which of those I'm going to read first, people). The driver even made a stop at Starbucks. Except for looking up every now and then to make sure we aren't weaving back and forth or about to drive off a bridge, this is possibly the most relaxed I've been in like 15 years.

Didn't realize my ex was driving a bolt bus on the side ;) Enjoy the peace, even if there is traffic!!
WiFi on buses impresses me FAR more than is really logical.
You had me at "stopped at Starbucks".
We have a Boston to NYC bus called Fung Wah that's on the news a few times a year for crashing/flipping over/exploding on the Mass Pike, stuff like that.
I would LOVE to ride a bus somewhere! We have almost NO public transportation in Oklahoma. Everyone drives a gigantic SUV. And they're usually driving it ALONE.
Although, I think most of our drivers are sober. And there are hardly any bridges to drive off of.
