Finally Friday

1. Ben's school bus made the news last night --http://m.wsoctv.com/news/news/local/photos-show-kids-sitting-overcrowded-school-bus-ai/nnyDK/
For being so crowded that kids had to stand in the aisles while the bus was moving because there was no room to sit. I have been aware of issues with Ben's bus -- last week on two occasions it was so late getting to school that Ben didn't get there till after first period had started. Which was annoying enough. To find out that it is routinely so crowded that students have to stand is ridiculous. Ben of course didn't seem to think this was important enough to tell me. I sent an email to the principal (I imagine I wasn't the only one). 

2. Finally got around to having the insurance company come look at the water damage that happened when the refrigerator's water line leaked. Apparently the kitchen floor needs to be ripped up and the sub floor dried out and then we need to go on a forced vacation for a week (paid for by the insurance company) so they can sand and refinish all the continuous flooring which is most of the downstairs. So.... Fun. The water mitigation guy is coming tomorrow to officially assess the damage. On the bright side... The floors were in desperate need of refinishing anyway. And who can say no to a free vacation?
