Im pretty hacked off right now. They lost my kid!

It was the First day of School today for Kids one and two. Everything went well until I went to get them off the bus at the end of the day.
So Im standing at the bus stop that Andrew got on the bus at, and Kate climbs off the bus and thats it.
"Wheres Andrew?"
"He got off a few stops before"
"WHAT!!!!"
I called the school and the secretary lost even more points in my book by being an idiot.She asks me what stop he got off at. Ummmm I dont know, if I knew I would go there and not be calling you. My kindergartener said "A few stops before" So whatever that means. (Anyone who knows 5 years olds knows that "a few" and "before" are VERY lose terms. This is the same kid that talks about going to utah yesterday- We havnt been to utah in a year)

She asked me some more stupid questions, and then put me on hold.
Call me paranoid, but I was about to hang up after being on hold for 20 min and just call the cops to help me look for him.Even in our old neighborhood I would have worried, but I would have at least known that he would have a chance of knowing his way around. But we have lived here a week- So I was slightly stressing.
All of these horrid mental pictures of my baby wandering the streets crying and lost.

Luckily my just turned 7 year old is smart and has his fathers sense of direction, because he found his way home by himself. After talking to him, it turns out that he walked about four blocks.

Needless to say that Im going to be giving that bus driver a good talking to tomorrow when Andrew gets back on the bus.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRROWL says the momma bear.

Damn!!! (you moved?)--- My school told me if I wasn't standing outside waiting for my child---they wouldn't let him off, (we'll see). School for K doesn't start until 9/9 woo hoo!!!

lol, Randy, just because they dont bus kids in utah doesnt mean they dont lose them. Didnt you hear about the kindergartner in mapleton who got abducted on the way home a year or two back?

I hope my daughter has my sense of direction when she grows up. I would be so worried if she has her mothers.
