Happy Friday! I hope we all have had a great week. I can not believe how fast this week has been. I was expecting a very long week since my last weekend went by sooo FAST. Last Friday my oldest got his Learner's Permit to drive-so we have spent the week learning to drive. He is currently in driver's ed, which I volunteered to do the parent taught version. When deciding it seemed that this would be easy and not a big deal. Do you know how hard it is to be in the car with your child learning how to drive? It is a very scary thing-Not because they are doing bad but because they are your kid and we as parents try to do everything we can to keep them safe and out of harms way. The first few days we stayed in our neighborhood which doesn't have a lot of traffic so that was easy. There is a highway that runs past my house that is busy at certain times of the day but for the rest of the day pretty calm and quiet-so I decide what the heck lets give it a shot. He is doing great until a car comes up behind us-He gets nervous and I get nervous. I tell him that it is ok, just let them pass so he starts to move out of the way and I realize that his steering isn't all that great and I just see us heading off of the road and I panic-which totally caused him to panic. I don't think that I have ever seen him so scared in all of his 15 years-I felt horrible. We pull over all is well, except he is terrified and never wants to drive again. So we head home and call it a day. He texted all of his friends and told them about how he almost died :) He's alittle overdramatic. The next day I decide to take him to a back road out by our house. He did amazing. He felt so good about it that he decided he wanted to try the highway again-So I gave him a few pointers and on the highway we go-He was wonderful, alert and careful. He still got nervous when cars were behind us, but he would take deep breath and slow down so they could go around us. As much as the previous experience scared the crap out of both of us-I seriously think that it ended up really helping him. When we got home he told me that he was proud of himself because he didn't almost kill us again-see overdramatic :) Keep your fingers crossed for me this weekend-We are getting out again. Good Luck to all of you that are in my same situation :) It does get better.
I have a few projects that I plan on working on this weekend. I am going to get my magazine purse done (hopefully), fix the hem on a few pairs of pants, crochet another hat and hopefully get a chance to go thru all of my photos and memory cards and get that totally organized. Other than that I have no plans-YIPPEE!!!! No leaving the house and no one coming over :)
One last thing-(I know totally random) I LOVE the way that Damon pulled Mason's heart out of his chest last night on Vampire Diaries and I almost liked Stephan at the end when he was teary eyed :)
Anyways-Ta Ta for now!
Have a great weekend-I totally plan on it.
