School Daze

The bus has come and whisked Jared away to school. Yes, he DID graduate, but due to his special needs, he can still attend at Tanner until he turns 21. Which is a blessing for him. I am pretty much ZERO fun around the house and cannot duplicate all that is available to him at his school.

We are on the waiting list for the only adult program in our county and have been told that whenever the call comes to have Jared enrolled that we should now take it. I hope it doesn't come until Jared finishes his 21st natal year so that he can enjoy the full day at Tanner.

He was smiling as the lift carried him  up into the bus.

I think if he had his way about it all, we'd buy him a bus to drive him around in simply because they bounce over the roadways and give him a 4x4 ride experience that reminds him of his Daddy's big truck that is now long gone. If it were possible, Jared would rig it up to jump other cars, fly over railroad trestles with a big bump takeoff and a bigger bump landing and a GPS that mapped out every single pothole and bouncy road in the county.

Gypsy was anxious to see that Jared and all of the attendant school supplies were loaded up. THREE boxes of goodies to get him started. As soon as all was loaded, she decided SHE should accompany him to the school.

Not so fast little fur bag!!! You drag your carcass off that bus!!

Jared was giddy with laughter. I'm sure he was thinking how nice it would be to have Gypsy accompany him, lie at his feet at each work station and rest on the bed beside him during nap time.

What he and Gypsy either one neglected to mention was the barking she would most certainly do since to her, everyone at the school is an interloper and must be defended against at full volume.

She would enjoy that role.

I'm sure the teachers would not.

Gypsy is currently lying on the floor directly beneath the ceiling fan sulking. I have ruined her good times for the day and she can't understand why she wasn't allowed to accompany her baby to school.

As Jared begins another year, I cannot help but smile as he smiles. This is a wonderful time for him. He gets to see his old friends and make new ones as new children join his classroom. He so enjoys the time to learn to master new skills.

Sadly, that also means that once again, the house is quiet with only me and Gypsy here.

I guess I should start the laundry so there will be some noise in the house besides the sound of my own breathing.
