Welcome to Frugal Village!:apple:
You bus drivers have a special place in my heart, I don't know how you do it. Kids are great for the most part but to drive with all that noise & whatever going on behind you, unbelievable. You must have eyes in the back of your head.
Your avatar & name made me smile.

A great big Welcome from this school bus driver in TN!

So how long have you been driving?

Since April 2009 - I never wanted to be a driver. I've watched my brother's wife drive for over 30 years and my mother-in-law just retired after driving 34 years in NJ and my husband's brother's wife is now driving for the past 5 years in NJ. But with 3 kids at home and my mom needing more and more help from me the schedule is perfect - the pay stinks but can't beat the schedule!!

I do feel like I have eyes in the back of my head and I do feel like I must be crazy for doing this (hmm which came first???) And the kids say I'm mean because I make them follow the rules. BOO HOO so sad for them... hehehe NOT!! Just trying to keep them safe.
