Why didn't anyone tell me?

Why did they not put information in the Parent's Guide to a Peaceful, Stress-less Life Manual about having a teen-aged driver?  PJ took his driver's license driving test this morning.  He was calm, cool, and collected. I was a nervous wreck!  I knew he would do just fine; he's a very cautious driver (sometimes too cautious!) I wasn't nervous about him getting his license; I was nervous about him possibly failing. I had to call my Aunt and waste her minutes talking about nothing whatsoever just to keep the 20 minutes from dragging by. BTW, a big THANK YOU to Dum-dum donut for chatting with me:o)  Smart-smart jelly roll did great.  The poor officer stuck riding with PJ only had to give him two pointers...and they were not major pointers.  I guess it pays to have a professional driver teach them (you know, the professional driver that holds a CDL that lives with me and doesn't charge me $$ to ride with a teenager:o) so all I have to do is the hard part ride with him. 

Happy errand running, PJ!  

One down and five to go...

Summer Fun

Don't you just love the summer?  The heat, the HUMIDITY, and the water?  My girls have learned a life lesson today...If you do all your chores first thing in the morning, you have the rest of the day to play.  Imagine that!  As if I have neeeevverrrr divulged that information to them before.  What's with that?  Anyway, I snapped some pictures of them in the pool that the "Shrubberies" gave them.  My house is somehow magically quiet these days. Enjoy the pics!

On a side note, we had a bird in the house today.  The girls saw it in the laundry room window...PJ rescued it.
