Yesterday was Wyatt's
He's been sick with what started out as a super sore oogy throat since Monday which has since turned into a sinus situation with a fever and intermittent puking.
Wendy came out last night and she said, "Oh, thats exactly what I had last week."
That would be last week when she came to our house last week.
She said that it spread through her school like wildfire.
Wendy, she's such a giver.
So I guess you could say that Wyatt's big day was kind of a big bummer.
Just me and Wen.
We took him to dinner but he was to sick and tired to enjoy it and as soon as we got home he got the heaves.
He did have a little bit of cake first though.
Wendy got him a great big grab bag from Michaels with all of his favorite things and a huge craft box to store it all in.
As you can imagine, this also throws a wrench in our fabulous fun friends weekend.
Kenna and the boys will have to stay at her brothers house since our house is under quarantine.
I can't believe it.
This is so dumb.
Nothing good ever comes from a kid being sick.
Oh wait.
Sometimes something good does come from a kid being sick.
Like when that sick kids mom gets the job of her dreams!
Here's how it all went down...
Monday after lunch Wyatt calls home sick and I have to go pick him up.
As I'm driving to his school I pass the bus garage where they have a big banner flying that says "Now Hiring."
I have wanted to be a bus driver for years but was a little chicken
(fun farm pun)
to actually do anything about it, but I figured now was the time.
I saw the "sign"
When we got home I called.
Tuesday morning I went and picked up an application, brought it home, filled it out and returned it.
They called an hour later.
Yesterday I went in for an interview and I swear it was the best interview ever.
SO fun.
Bus people are fun people.
They said they would be in touch with me by the end of the week.
They called yesterday.
I GOT THE JOB!
From this day forward February 16th will be my lucky day because
I got Wyatt and my dream job!!
I can't believe that this is going to be me!!
I go for my physical tomorrow and I start school bus school on Monday!
YaY!
Peas.
I am sorry Wyatt's birthday was not so good for him. But happy it was so great for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope he is feeling better.
I can't WAIT to hear your school bus tales!!!!!!! You'll be the best bus driver ever ;-)!
ReplyDeleteYay!! Congrats on the new job. :)
ReplyDeletePoor Wyatt. I hope the cruds clears up quickly. Sending him healing thoughts.
Being on the SLOW recovery from a bug very similar to Wyatt's, I sure hope he feels MUCH better, VERY soon! Poor guy! I think he should get a "do-over" birthday dinner! I'm just sayin...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your awesome, new job! You'll have great hours and lots of days off. You're right ~ it IS a perfect job. I wonder if our area needs any school bus drivers...
Oh that's right ~ I had two accidents last year. They'd probably frown at that.
;-)
Have FUN!
Congrats on the job and your new 'tan' look!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see that on FB, congrats my darling you so deserve it! What an amazing blessing to happen on the same day!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Wyatt, I'm sorry you don't feel well hope your better soon!
Hope Wyatt is feeling better soon. I must say, you are one brave woman wanting to drive the school bus. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteCongrats #1 - but you're going to be a way better looking bus driver than that gal.
ReplyDeleteAny chance you'll be driving Wyatt's bus?
Congrats on the new job! Sorry to hear about Wyatt, sounds like what my son and I have been dealing with - YUCK!!! Hope he is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteWeird, I was signed into my gmail as the email admin for my BF's band. Sorry about that!
ReplyDeleteI said, we'll call you Otto, like on the Simpsons. Otto Isnevergettingmarriedagain.
Everyone seems to be sick lately. Poor kiddos. And poor mom.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the job, though! Just get some good earplugs!
