Driver's Ed and Other Adventures

Dallas officially started Driver's Ed today.  I had purchased Driver Ed in a Box and we finally got Oklahoma's permission to begin.  He's not liking it very much right now - mostly it is the woman's voice on the computer.  Also, I think that he was expecting to get into the car and start driving.  I explained that we do this first, then is the permit test, THEN he gets to learn to drive.  If anyone's reading this who lives in Oklahoma and has been through this, do we still have to get the reading test? 

Bethany's back to her old self.  Her energy is back to normal and today she ate TWO chili cheese dogs!  She still hasn't gained the weight back, but we're being patient and encouraging her to eat what she can.  Her doctor's appointment went really well and we go back later this month for another follow-up.  Bethany will have to take birth control pills to keep her other ovary under control, I hate that she has to take them, but at this point, we're praising God that she's alive!  Also, if this is what it takes to help her keep the ovary so she can possibly have children later, we're gonna do it.

I've been reading the book The Forgotten Man lately and am learning a lot about the Great Depression and the 1920s and 1930s in general.  I must admit that a bit of the financial stuff goes over my head, but not so much that I'm discouraged.  I may need to purchase a copy because it is taking me a long time to read it and there are others waiting for it at the library.

Well, I think that's all for right now......

My Dd just finished drivers ed. at the local highschool. She HATED every minute of it. She is just waiting now to be called to drive.

I tell her its just another step to adulthood and more gray hair for me :- )

Have a blessed weekend in The Lord!
