Minor Headaches....

So I'm fresh off a morning spent in a NJ DMV...... I'm feeling a little frazzled to say the least. This was my fourth....yes, you read correctly...FOURTH try and still no license to speak of! Ahhh, I'm going crazy. I mean, I'm from Canada for pete's sake(name that movie)! Not like I'm from some random place and don't speak the language. I'm pretty sure God is just giving a giant test in patience...I think I might be getting a C-...hmmm, better work on that.

At least I'm done the written test finally. I could, quite possibly, be the worst test taker ever, no joke. I wish you could even get a glimpse inside this head of mine...scary place to be I tell ya. Oh the anxiety, not fun. I guarantee you I was more nervous and anxious than any 16 year old there. What is wrong with me?? I thought you outgrew these things...guess not.


Now I have to go back...for the fifth time and hopefully it'll all work out. Why are DMV's always in the worst locations?? Not to mention the helpful staff they have....texting, snapping their gum, looking at you like your speaking to them in Swahili.... Is it wrong to want to be treated like a human being? Or is that just me?! The real hero today was Amy who was so kind to drive me to two separate DMV's and she watched the girls(Aubrey and Maddie) while I dealt with the craziness. It's so amazing to have a friend that will help out like that!


Anyway, I'm home now and I intend on doing something relaxing. I really should be cleaning because Zach's mom is coming tomorrow night for a visit, but I'll worry about that tomorrow;) I think the house is still pretty clean seeing as to how I did the crazy, my-Menno-mom-is-coming-and-I'm-panicking, clean. Just have to do a few touch ups and the regular weekly clean and I'm good to go. I need to get my mind off things and what better than sewing to do it?? Aubrey's asleep and I got some "me time" so off to the Singer I go:) I'm working on trying to figure out a plan/pattern for a doll carrier for Aubrey's birthday. I looked online forever and hadn't found any that I liked or any tutorials, so if this works out like I'm hoping it will, I'll try and do a tutorial...wish me luck...


~~~Pictures were taken by Yours Truly in Connecticut this last weekend.....not the pattern one, that was taken in my home ;)~~~

It's from The Proposal...love that movie, but her being Canadian and being almost deported just hits a little to close to home ;)
~Just to clarify if you've never read this blog...I'm Canadian, but have NOT been deported. Just wanted to make that clear!~
