First Post... About my Blog

So, do you really know what happens on the School Bus when you send your kids off to school every day? Well I’m going to tell you!!! This blog is about the daily life of a middle aged bus driver who wants to become a writer. I will remain totally anonymous as to protect myself and the identity of the children I drive to school everyday. With that said, I guarantee you will find Miss Bus Driver and the many people and situations I encounter on a daily basis entertaining to read about.

So here is a little information about me, Miss Bus Driver, and why I chose to blog about this subject. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and I still can’t figure out what I want to do with my life! I landed here, in Suburbia USA, as a single parent without child support and moving in with my parents at 25. I lived an exciting life as a young adult living in many different cities and meeting many interesting and unique people, but I ended up pregnant and broke. When I finally moved out of my parents house with my 4 year old daughter, I met my devoted husband who was willing to take the both of us. We have a son together and so now here I am a mother of two amazing children and a School Bus Driver in the school district we live in. So the Bus Driving thing was an ongoing joke in my life as I jumped from job to unsatisfying job always joking about just becoming a bus driver so I could spend more time with my kids. Well I’m in my 4th year and I never know what I will encounter from day to day. I deal directly with parents, kids K-12, a strange boss, teachers, school administration, a tough school board, an egotistical superintendent of schools, coaches, whiney bus drivers and a bad Union every day! Except now while I am on summer vacation, one of the many benefits of my very rewarding job.

I’ve wanted to write a book for a long time but I am scared, confused and have no idea where to begin. I was reading an article in a writer’s magazine about how blogs have ended up as books, even bestsellers and then the light bulb went off! I need an excuse to write often and I can’t think of a better subject at the moment sooo… Miss Bus Driver, because that’s what the kids call me. It doesn’t matter how many times I tell them my name.
