Thursday 2/17 - Go to bank to cash a check. Informed that drivers license is expired.
Like, since December expired. OOPS
Friday 2/18 - Go to tag agency for new license. Informed that since license is more than
30 days past expiration, must have certified copy of birth certificate in order to get new license. NICE
Go home and spend much time looking for certified copy of birth certificate.
( I know I had one to get my marriage license. Oh wait, that was almost 20 years ago.)
Saturday 2/19- Call Mother to ask if perchance she might have certified copy of birth certificate.
Yes! In the safety deposit box.
Favorite mother goes to bank to get birth certificate.
Dear husband drives into town to pick up birth certificate.
Monday 2/21- Have every intention of going to tag agency and getting drivers license.
Uh, hello! It's a national holiday - all tag agencies are closed. ARGH
Call and cancel girls' piano lessons for the day.
Remember that all kids have plans for the evening. Call husband.
Dear husband takes off early from work. Drives 45 minutes to pick up family. Drives 30 minutes to take youngest daughter and Mom (that would be me ) to basketball game. Drives 30 minutes in the opposite direction to take older kids bowling. Sits in the car for 2 hours while older kids bowl. Drives 30 minutes to pick up youngest daughter and Mom from basketball game. Drives 30 minutes to get home and collapses into bed so he can get up early and go to work. THANKS HONEY!!!
Tuesday 2/22 - Stay home!
Wednesday 2/23 -Drive 30 minutes to tag agency. Wait, did I put birth certificate in my purse?
Yes. WHEW
Walk into agency hoping that they won't ask how I got there. Since drivers license expired 8 weeks ago! They don't. (Thanks Lord!)
A few minutes later and a little bit poorer, walk out with precious license in hand.
Drive home with deep sense of relief that I'm once again legal.
Moral of the story? CHECK YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE!!!
