I’m here, at Mom’s, typing from John’s computer. We’re waiting here for about an hour or so till John’s damn car cools off. We went to pick Mom up from her appointment at 10:30am, then we went to Wal-Mart and had a quick lunch at McDonald’s, and then came home. We didn’t realize till we were almost here that the damn car was overheating. I asked Art for help when we got here, since I had no idea what I was supposed to do (I KNOW you put water in it when it over-heats, but where?!).

Neither of us knew exactly where to put the water, so I called Mario and prayed he’d answer since he’s at work and probably super busy with the sale they’re having. Luckily, he answered and told me what to do. I have to wait for the car to cool down for an hour, then I can put water in the little thingy on top of the radiator. What? I forgot what the thingy’s called.

I could have totally killed us on the way to Mom’s. I was SO nervous this morning, before I even drove to Mission, since I was going to be driving around town. While I was driving over there, I was surprised at how well I was doing and how unscary it was. I did fine over there. It was over here, where Mom lives, that I screwed up. Not only did I somewhat-only-yield at a red light (luckily there weren’t any cars coming when I went), but I stopped at another red light, thought all 4 sides had a stop sign, so after stopping I took off…and noticed another car coming straight for us from the left side. I felt like such an idiot . I could have KILLED my kids!!! Makes me feel really discouraged about even trying for my license next week . I guess I have to go through the whole damn driving book–for a third time. I suck.

I wanna go hooooooome!

I’ve been reading the Driving Handbook for the past few hours (with cooking/dinner/pee breaks in between) and I’m seriously going bananas. Wonderful readers of mine, I need your help! I got a comment from a lovely lady and she gave me some tips about the driving tests. I can’t ask Mario for help because he was exempt from the tests (he did the Parent-teacher thing) so I have a question:

What was on the test? What type of questions do y’all remember being in the test?

I’ve tried looking for some type of practice test online but have had no luck. I’d really appreciate the help!
