Happy Friday!

It has been pretty quiet on the crossing guard front. Cara is back to her position at the school parking lot, Carrie is now with me & we are working on our communication & getting into our groove, & all the people dropping off & picking up have been on pretty good behavior. We have the same grey pick-up truck that tries to make a left hand turn out of the school every single afternoon. She drives right up to the cone prohibiting people from doing so, and every day I point/wave for her to turn right. And every day she throws her hands up and yells at me. Yes, every day. One of these days I am going to have to walk over to the sign & point it out to her.....you know...the one she is right next to as she is yelling at me.

Anyway... This morning we had three people try & turn left out of the school, but the cone & the flow of traffic wouldn't allow it so they did turn left. Two people tried to turn left into the school, but Carrie did a fantastic job diverting them. However, a third gentleman who didn't like Carrie waving him through drove about 100 yards past me and did a u-turn right there in front of the school, cut in front of all of the cars that had been waiting in line, then turned into the school.  The correct way, but a very rude way of getting in and cutting in line. I said it to Carrie too, that it was rude that he did that with all the people waiting. His window was down...I hope he heard me. Where is the sheriff when you need her?

Also, Carrie had her first heart race experience today! When she was stopping traffic to have walkers walk, someone in a Severn Trent Services vehicle was not stopping! She had her stop sign up, I had mine up. He finally did stop, but unfortunately Carrie was awfully close to the front of that truck when it finally did stop. I think she had to yell for him to actually stop. Whew! Again, people, the big red sign that we are holding, it says STOP!

You can tell that Cara is back in her spot because she stops traffic to allow for the buses in & out of the parking lot. Not a bad thing as the buses need to get in there, but it backs up traffic where we are. No big deal, just different than how her sub did things.

I think that is it. It has been threatening rain all week. I bring my umbrella hat out there every single day but haven't had the chance to wear it. I should just do it for fun. I am itching to wear that thing!  LOL!!

I am anticipating a lot to write about next Friday because it is Daybreak with Dads at the school. People will be parked all over the place & there will be an overabundance of cars that day. I'm actually a little bit scared! Stay tuned for that!

Have a fabulous day! It's Friday!!!!
