Work. Driver's ed. Need I say more? and I don't have Addie's costume or Pat's costume for the weekend...feeling the stress. Mom is going to help with Addies...I'm making her a "no-sew tutu" Hope she likes it!!

So, today I picked up Travis at 415, then went straight to his drivers ed so he could take the Permit test. They said to come early. So, he went in and Addie and I went to a resale shop next door to see if they had costumes. He came out about 20 minutes or so later and said he had to go home and get his glasses...he could not pass the eye exam. GREAT.

This happened in 8th grade and he had to go get glasses before they would let him in athletics. He has the same problem I had/have. He has perfect vision in 1 eye but not the other, so when they make him close an eye and read the eye chart, when he closes the good eye, he can't see with the bad. I have 20/20 in 1 eye and 20/?? in the other. I am nearsighted in 1 eye. At his age, I wasn't...I started to notice it in my 20s...did not become a problem as far as driving until 30s...when I got glasses that I only wear to drive. I was always able to pass my eye test, though, so I never had the restriction on wearing glasses. Anyway, after I had Addison, I ended up going from only wearing them at night when I drive to needing them in the daytime too, so I went and got rx sunglasses for day and use my glasses at night. So, this is what he is dealing with, but he could not pass the eye exam and we had to drive back home to get his glasses. What a pain. So, we went home and got them and then went back and he passed and got the form we need for him to go get his permit tomorrow. However, he will be required to wear glasses when driving. Did I mention this was all during rush hour down Denton Highway??? What a pain!!! But, tomorrow we get a permit!

So, after that, we went home and got the Mum and I put the "RR" on the flowers and then we took it over to his date, Cassandra. She does not live far. Anyway, we drove off after he gave it to her and he said "Mom, you did put the name stickers on it, didn't you?" CRUD...I FORGOT. He gave her the mum and I had forgotten to put their names on it. DUH!! I can't beLIEVE I did that. Well, I can...So, he called her and said he would bring the stickers to school tomorrow. But then I got to thinking about it and thought "she would have to go to school w/out the names on there...I should take them to her tonight. So, we went on to Mom's so I could get part of Addie's costume and then we ate at Rosa's on the way home, and then went home and got the stickers and then went back to her house to drop them off.

So, I was in the car from 415 until about 915 or 930...
