Do you ever feel that something is too good to be true?     John, the driver who was driving the bus in the afternoon so I could get schooling done with Bun had his hours changed at his 'real' job and asked me if I would drive in the afternoon instead of the morning.  Well that just doesn't work for me.   It would be the same as we are doing now as we don't start school until 9:00am.   I need the afternoon to keep going.

SO I called my boss, "Moonie" (really that is his nickname and what we call him), anyway, he is willing to give me two to three days off in the afternoon each week when he has one of the guys from the garage free to drive on my afternoon run.  Can you believe that I was actually argueing with him saying it would be too confusing and too much planning for him to do this everyweek?    Finally he told me to  "please be quiet and this is what we are doing"  because he "said so".       It took me two days before I realized how lucky I am to have a boss willing to do this.  I believe it is because he and his wife hoemschooled thier daughter and they know what is involved.  And also because when he was having a terrible time with a few of the drivers and was ready to quit I was the only one who gave him any postive feedback about his being a great boss.   (That and a thank you card and a bottle of champagne that I gave to his wife that weekend of his employee ordeal telling her to celebrate with him and forget work for a few days).

So, when I bake today for Easter, i am making  extra and will take it over to them.  My dh has requested that we have a 'quiet Easter' with none of my extremely disfunctional family members.  He said quiet,  I added the rest about my family, but it is what he was thinking and I have to agree with him.  However, I have a felinhg of guilt that I am not asking any of these crazyn people over for dinner.   I keep telling myself that it is not my responsibility to make everyone happy in my family, mainly my sister S who always ends up maikeing Bun cry eventually.

Family guilt why do I impose it on myself?
