OC Transpo Strikes and Snow Days

It has been a rough week around here. As of today the public transit system (OC Transpo) has gone on strike. This affects so many people in our city!! It also affects Emily. We rely on that bus system to get her to school everyday. It is too far for her to walk and I would not let her walk alone anyway. By the time she got home It would be dark (she does not get out of school until 3:45) So e are on our own to find ways to get her there. The worst part is that we just signed her up at a tutoring place and she has to get a bus there as well. Rob is going to work from home as much as he can to help with this but it won't always be possible. Hopefully they will end this strike soon.!
To top it off they cancelled school buses today because of bad weather!! Well being the nice mom that I am...I sent my son to school anyway!!! He does not take the bus...he walks (with 2 friends) and it is only a block and a half away!! Emily went today as well...Rob took her and I am going to pick her up...with the help of a neighbour who will watch the daycare kids for me!

Whew...I am exhausted already!!! Is is summer yet?
