Well I turned the big 34 on Friday and here I am still around to blog about it. It is a little disturbing to think that I am at the end of being in my "early thirties" but I am sure I will live with it (please no eye rolls from those of you a little older than myself).
My Birthday started off early with the exciting news that my long wait to find out about my bus situation is over. While it is not the exact outcome I wanted it is pretty close. Karli and Mack both have spots on the morning bus to school but, due to the fact that our neighborhood has an abundance of afternoon Kindergartners there is only two spots available after school and of course with Brody in afternoon Kindergarten I have three kids coming home from school. The principal and I decided to try a compromise of having Karli line up for the bus last and if there are open spots she rides the bus home and if it is totally full she will go to the office and call me so I can run and pick her up. We are going to see how this works. So far the two days we have tried it she has gotten on so hopefully it will happen that I do not have to pick her up too often, otherwise I will have to come up with a new plan for her. I really appreciate all that Amiee and Valerie did to lobby for me in my time of trial and injustice!!(ha ha) seriously thank you for keeping me in the loop on where we were at and how things were progressing it really did help me from going crazy!
My next Birthday present came in the form of a day early B-day lunch at Cafe' Rio with my friend Aimee. It was a great afternoon away and how can any birthday go wrong with good company and Cafe' Rio??? Thanks again Aimee!
On my actual B-day I went to lunch with my Mom, Grandma, Sister, and Neice Rikki (Jake got to come too but he was so busy stuffing every bite of his hot dog and fries into his mouth we hardly noticed he was there).
The day ended with Aric and I going to our favorite Thai food place and stuffing ourselves silly then home to watch a movie together.
All in All I say a pretty great end to a pretty great year!
Thanks so much to everyone for all of the great B-day wishes and to Roni and Kimberly for your thoughtful gifts.

WHEW! Happy Birthday Jana! I'm glad that you had a great day! Also, I am even more happy that you got your bus situation taken care of!! YEAH!
I thought I had the whole bus thing sorted out too and was very relived until the Principal called me two three days after he invited us on the bus and kicked us back off again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Karli and Mack still get to ride in the morning but, apparently there was another family in the neighborhood who qualifies for the bus due to disability and they have 4 kids in their family so tough luck for me. I really have a love-hate relationship with that bus and with the principal this year.
Happy B-day a few days late... Sounds like it was pretty good...
Jana, on Thursdays when I have to pick my two kids up from school, two of your kids can have their spot on the bus. (And I'm sure someone else will be sick on that day -- so send all three home on it.) :)
I am happy to have your blog now! I had no idea. I think I was that last one to join this whole world! Sorry I missed your birthday. I am glad you were able to have a fun day and I did hear about the bus. You really have gone through the ringer on that one!

If my kids still went to elementary school, I would totally let you in my car pool! Glad you had a fun birthday!!
Jana I have been so out of the blogging world lately...it was great to finally check in again. I am glad to hear your birthday was a good one since you are getting so old...yes I was one of those who rolled their eyes (you are still a youngin my friend). Anyway, hope this is your best year yet!!!
