I Messed Up!!!

Sometimes I really mess up!!! Thankfully, my boys are kind and willing to give me 2nd, 3rd and 1000th chances!!!

Monday I took Jordan to the DMV to get his restricted license (the one that will allow him to drive to school and work by himself!).

I was super excited to show up and find out the wait was going to be less than 15 minutes!!! A lot of times it is a couple hours!!!

The man at the front desk called Jordan over and asked him if he had his “gold” slip. I had no idea what he was talking about!!!

Last summer Jordan took Drivers Ed – the class, test and instructional driving hours. Apparently, at the end of the class he received a pink slip (that showed he took the class) and a gold slip (which showed he completed it).

Umm….we had to bring a piece of paper from a year ago?!

Fortunately, the guy told us we could go to the driving school and pay for another one!!!

I was not happy!!! We had to wait over 30 minutes just for someone to show up, pay, then go back to the DMV.

I told Jordan that he needed to do a better job keeping up with stuff. I also made him pay for the reissue slip since I paid for the course last year!!!

We finally got the license!

That evening I was telling Chris all about the morning – including the lecture I gave Jordan and the fact that I was impatient and he was pleasant the entire time.

Then, just out of curiosity, I looked at my desk. Guess what was in almost plain sight??????If you guessed the missing gold slip – the one that I blamed Jordan for not keeping up with – you would be correct!!!
