I had random kids in and out all day today.  #4 didn't have school today and had a friend over for most of the day.  I don't really mind having him over, but he's a vegetarian, and our eating style isn't real conducive to feeding a vegetarian.  Every time he eats here, the poor kid gets either mac and cheese or a PB&J. 

We adjusted fairly well to the change in the morning bus schedule today.  At least no one missed the bus, so I would consider it successful.  Picking them up this afternoon was a little bit of an adventure.  When I was trying to drive past the beach, there was a guy lying in the road in the middle of the other lane.  Using my deductive reasoning, I don't think he got hit by a car.  I'm pretty sure he was in a fight and someone slugged him, resulting in him landing in the road. but luckily not  getting smushed by a car in the process.  The kid picked himself up and jumped on the back of someone's moped and they took off.  All in a day's adventures.

#2 and I discussed her job situation.  The other day, she'd decided that she didn't really want to take the band trip to DisneyLand in the spring.  When our kids want something that we feel isn't something we isn't really necessary to their well-being, we expect them to kick in a portion of the expenses.  Well, #2 decided she'd rather keep her $150/month and use it for something else.  Since she already had a month's worth saved up, we talked about putting that money toward gas money.  Remember, turning down the job she was offered at the library was because of all the driving back and forth we'd have to do.  We did the math and figured it cost us about $4 to take her to and from the library.  So she's going to pay us $4 each day she works.  I'm not looking forward to driving her back and forth all the time, but I'm happy she gets to take the job.  I told her that when she gets a little more skilled on the moped, she can take that back and forth to work.  She informed me that she's already a 'mo' bettah mopeddah'   but I think she needs a bit more experience before she goes downtown with it.
