another thing on my un-bucket list

I was reminded today of another thing I never wanted to do, a career choice wisely avoided.  I was a teacher for several years and during that time I always said that I could never be a school bus driver.  It's one thing to face a classroom full of students and quite another to turn your back on them and drive them around in a big old bus.  Today, as i drove two of my granddaughters home from school and maneuvered through the ice caked streets of their subdivision, I realized that over the last few day, school bus drivers all over the county have been driving on back country roads that must be just as bad or worse than these.  I salute them!  It's snowing tonight - a possible 6-9 inches, so they may get a day off to rest up tomorrow.
