This past weekend was full of interesting happenings.
Saturday my oldest and I took a visit to the a local PA DMV office. She was attempting to become a licensed driver. 
I was impressed that the PA DMV had improved things so we didn't have to stand in a long line and wait for hours. All we had to do was go online and schedule a time and show up at that time and take the test. They were prompt and on time, so we had practically no wait.
She has had a learner's permit for quite some time, but has been very nervous about taking the test. Her mother helped her to get a new car (2005 Chevy Cavalier) and this put a little pressure on her to finally get her license. She was still hesitant because she was worried over parallel parking. I picked her up from work a few times before her test, and showed her how to park, and get close enough to the curb. 
When I took my driver's test, many, many years ago, I had to take it twice, and we didn't have to do parallel parking. However, she became a licensed driver on her very first attempt. I am extremely proud of her.
My son went to Penn State College for FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) leadership training conference. He came back tired yet a little more wise. He is quickly becoming a man, and has already laid out a plan over the next year for getting his driver's license as soon as he can after he turns 16.
I also took my two youngest to get costumes for Halloween at the Spirit Halloween store in the mall. So after an hour in the store, a few tears because the perfect costume was too small, or too expensive, or the wrong color, a run back to the car to get a wallet, and an empting of that wallet, costumes were bagged and taken home. They will be a fairy princess and a wench tricking and treating around town this year.
Well the weekend is over, and it's time to relax... at work.
