Let Your Kid Ride the Bus

So, my usual 17-20 minute drive to and from work has become torture. Like 30-40 minutes of torture. It all started last week when the little rascals in our area went back to school. We didn't realize until now that every major street on our way to the highway has an elementary school or a larger private school on it, meaning that we have lots of traffic to manuever around. Additionally, there is road construction that was already going on. SO. MUCH. TRAFFIC. I've decided to stop working for the 9 months that school is in session. Okay, not really.

Today I'm calling each individual school (of course...all are in different school districts or private), to find out when they start school in the morning and when they get out for the day. This will determine my daily drive times to and from work and hopefully make my drive a little less torture.
