A BUS DRIVER'PRAYER
Please, Lord, watch over me this day. Please help me remember to watch
all mirrors, two dozen windows, eight gauges,six warning lights, six
dozen faces, three lanes of traffic and to keep a third eye open for
wobbling bicycles and daydreaming pedestrians, espcially teenagers
wearing headsets who are in another world.
Please , Lord, help me hear all train whistles, trucks and automobile
horns, police sirens and the two-way radio.
Please, Lord, give me a hand for the gear lever, the steering wheel, the
route book, the two-way radio microphone and the turn signal lever.
And Lord, please grant me the self-control to keep my hands away from
little Johnny's neck. And one more thing , dear Lord, please don't let
Mary be sick allover the bus.
And finally Lord, please watch over us so we can do it all again next
year. AMEN

Dang, I feel for ya. I've had to ride cross-country in a Greyhound, and
it's not the funnest of experiences, but VEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRYYYYY
interestin. We had a crackhead try to steal our luggage in LA, and got a
doobie off of the dred-man in El Paso. I wish ya the best of luck gettin
to and from safely, and I'll pray for ya.

I guess no-one else has done the cross country Greyhound thing huh?
Well, if ya do, take mental notes of little stuff. I remember the moon
was blood red when we were about 1/2 an hour away from Dallas, and when
we got there we found out Saddam had been caught about when we saw the
moon like that. Was kinda trippy.

My nickname is Greyhound but i don't drive a greyhound bus. I drive a
regular school bus.

Wow... i can't stop thinking about the red moon at about the same time
they caught Saddam Hussein.... trippy ain't the word. You must have felt
really strange, i'm getting goosebumps thinkin' about it.
I still say hanging that creep was too good for him. I would have fed
him healthy food so he would have lived a long time and i would have
made sure he would have been torchured each and everyday till his last
breath. how about that ?blushing

Hello fellow School Bus Driver! :)


Just Love the Prayer! Can I reprint this and post it on my bus. My
fellow workers would just love to have this also. You managed to cover
all bases. I need to say this every day as we board our buses. And to
think I've been doing this for 9 years already. Thanks for the laughs
:P

I am little johnnys mother!!!!! LMAO!!!
Waving atcha mrsart!!!!! And verbatim and all!!!!!


I really salute ya'll. That is one of the most unappreciated jobs out
there. My lil snookums bus drivers when he took the bus treated him just
like one of their own kids. For that time i was truly blessed knowing my
child was in good hands.
From just a mom out there....thank you for all YOU DO!!!

Thank's Barbiesbigsister.It's not a high paying job here in Ontario
being a school bus driver, but it's very rewarding in so many other
ways. After all these years doing this, I was always blessed every year
with great kids and wonderful parents.I'm off for March Break this week
and I miss my kids.:heart:
