THIS IS MY LIFE ON THE BUS

THIS IS ME AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER ALISHA

Hi This is Yvonne TheBusLady and I want to tell you about myself. I have been driving a school bus for eight years in the Chicago Sub's and love it. I do grade school and Jr. High. This year I also do HighSchool. The kids are great and I love being with them each day. Some I have driven for at least the last five years.As of this June when school get's out I will know longer drive a bus as I am moving to Moody, Mo. My health is not the best and driving is not for me any more. But I will miss the kids verymuch. Don't know what I will do without seeing them each day. As I have gotten used to get to see them each day. I will look at these pages and rember the good days with all of my kids. Well hope you enjoy my pages and come back often to see what is going on.

This Page is for Stories about My Life as a Bus Driver,and my family life.

Bus Driver's Prayer

Please Lord watch over me this day. Please help me remember to watch all five mirrors, two dozen windows,eight gauges,six warning lights,six dozen faces and three lanes of traffic and to keep a third eye open for all wobbling bicycles and daydreaming pedistrians, especially teenagers wearing headsets who are in another world. Please Lord help me hear all train whistles, truck and all automobile horns, ambulances, fire and police sirens. Please Lord give me a hand for the gear lever, the steering wheel, the route book and the turn signal. And Lord please grant me the self control to keep my hands away from Johnny's neck. And one more thing Dear Lord, please don't let Mary be sick all over the bus. And finally Lord, please watch over us all so that we can do it again tomorrow. AMEN

WHAT IS A SCHOOL BUS DRIVER?

A school bus driver is a person who smiles in the morning and smiles in the evening and eats Rolaids in between .A school bus driver has a good understanding of human nature and Mother Nature. A school bus driver has an up to date vocabulary. A school bus driver gives reassuring nods to anxious moms standing at the bus stops. A school bus driver gets there when nobody else can, finds houses that don't exist and children with no names. School bus drivers have eyes in the back of their heads and hear every word, even in sign language. School bus drivers are immune to noise. A school bus drivers favorite words (besides "goodmorning" and "goodnight") are "sit down". Sometimes a school bus driver gets tired, but seldom gets mad, and always, most faithfully, gets there.
