[blparent] back to school

[Kaila Allen]

Today was my daughters First day of kindergarten. She that's the bus but we were sent the wrong information for the bus. So she missed the bus on her first day of school Luckily my mother-in-law was able to take her but I had to call three different phone numbers to try to figure out the correct bus time today it made me feel like a horrible mother my daughter was so mad she missed the bus
