Teen Drivers are a scarey thing. They are a test of faith that is beyond any other. My 2nd child passed her drivers test today and became an officially licensed driver. In some ways it is wonderful I was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to drive her to beauty school every day beginning June 21.
Now she has to learn that it costs money to go to work. We never charged her for gas when we drove her. She has been learning, little by little, how to budget and manage money. Now she will be learning a little more. Gas and insurance and cell phone. (wouldn't it be nice if this were our only expenses?)
She drove herself to work all alone today. Then off to youth group, where her sister had been dropped off earlier. She will be bringing her sister home.
Then tomorrow, she is driving about 25 minutes away to apply for a job. It is about half way between home and the school she will be attending.
It is really hard to see the little bird stretching her skinny wings. Seems like just yesterday she was wearing out my livingroom carpet with the pink Barbie convertable;)
We continue to have the spread of illness in our house. The baby who is only 6 mos is now sick, as is the 3yo and 13yo. The others that had it are still sick. Total of 7 sick children.
