Back from Enid

where son took his driving test and got his license! Yay for him and *shudder* for mom..I have to let my baby fly down the road going 70 in a moving mass of metal and steel..that was hard with daughter but doubly hard with my son...I nearly lost him once, and I don't want to get close again. He's enjoying the freedom and said, "Mom, I feel like Super man now that I passed my test." He did a bonehead move and got an automatic fail the first time, but the second time was great. He took it there since it's easier than in Edmond. We did that on Wednesday and stayed the whole rest of the week at my in-laws. I had the BEST week..got to see my nephdawg and shopped all the consignment stores....brand new one is AWESOME!!! It's called Park Avenue thrift...I got several things for 27 cents and several for $1 including Rockies and Tommy Hilfigfer snap down the front denim skirts.. Where has the summer gone??? Seems like yesterday I had just gotten out of school and low and behold here I amI working summer school starting today for July except on Fridays,.so I'll probably see you all more now.

Glad to know you had a great time Cat.  I am not trying to scare you but i got my first ticket 2 weeks after getting my licence...was going 90 in a 50.  Lucky for me the female Highway Patrol knew my brother from having gone out on a date with him and dropped it to only 60 in a 50.  I learned my lesson that day to SLOW THE HELL DOWN.

Well, with the new graduated drivers license rules, if he gets ANY kind of "moving violation" even seat belt, he'll lose his license until he's 18. Currently, he has a graduated license with a G on it. If, after 6 months he has no violations, we can go back to the DL and get a permanent license with no restrictions. Glory hallelujah no more tests for the other licenses!!! He has a hard time with short term memory due to side effects of radiation/chemo, and that interfered with the permit. That and the fact that he was so nervous he psyched himself out.

If he EVER has a ticket like that, I'm taking the keys to the Camaros pronto. He has 2 1981 Camaros. One is in the process of becoming a Z and being repainted and reinteriored if there's such a word as that. It came in navy with tan interior and will turn out as black metallic with red interior. The other is white with blue pinstriping and navy interior. It's a Berlinetta and will stay as such. It's a one owner car prior to our getting it for John.

When he turns 18, his dad is going to drop a 454 in the Z and switch to a stick. *sigh* More power!

 

 

Welcome back! Congrats on the thrift findings.  I cannot even imagine when my son is old enough to drive. Oh my.

Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. Welcome home. I need to go shopping at the thrift stores. I am about to run out of clothes. Sounds like you had a good time in Enid. See ya soon, I hope, Rita

You ought to come go with me sometime!  .

Bought time you got back online.  Some of us were worried!!!

Welcome back!  We missed you! Good luck housebreaking the little devils at summer school!  Those of us that will get them again next month for regular school thank you! Denise

You're welcome..last summer we had a great group who were here getting ahead..not so sure this time around except for lil' darlin' freshmen here to do Algebra 1 or Geometry and get it out of the way..yeesh....One day is 5 hours which equals 1 week. We are here from the 7th to 31 on M-Th. Miss one day and you miss one week's worth of work. Attendance is also strict..miss 6 hours and you're gone..and mom and dad will have lost all that money they had to pay to have them here.

Hooray for being home! We missed you! Those are incredible bargains you found...enjoy! Congrats to your son on getting his license and I pray that he'll use wisdom and good judgment always when driving.
