License failure

Ok, so my birthday is coming up next Sat and so it means I need to renew my license. They basically want your first born and some of your blood. I had received the paper telling me all I had to take in. I had my birth certificate, marriage license, Social security card and made sure I didn't have to have a piece of mail before I went in. So I wait and lucky me I get the lady w/the well maintained mustash. Seriously she has a mustash and she has been there since I got my permit. It is what my husband wishes he could grow only w/o the estrogen. Weird and it is hard to not stare at her lip. Anyhoo... I had my hair all nice and made sure the make up was nice and she tells me that she can't give me my license b/c I don't have my birth certificate just the hospital certificate. What? She said she could give me a temp but w/o picture and that s/one had stolen some hospital certificates in Oregon a few years ago and so they don't accept them. Seriously I don't have time next week granted I can get one ordered over the internet. Grrr... I am going to try to not be grumpy about it since I have no choice. But as I had gotten in my car to go to the DMV I noticed that my wedding ring had lost a prong and so I had to take it to the jeweler. So she says it will be before Christmas that I will get it back. My brother says oh great you have no proof of birth or that you are married other than he witnessed the wedding and remembers me being born. So do I have to take him everywhere w/me? Oh well I guess it won't be for another 8 years after I finally get this license before I have to go thru this again.

Are you smarter than a First Grader?

The answer is no! I went into Connor's class to help yesterday. She usually has me help w/math which I can easily do one would sure hope so. However yesterday she had me help w/Phonics Bingo. I don't remember doing phonics the way they do. They have a saying for each one and alot of hand motions. I have helped w/it a bit in Corrin's class so I knew a few of the things. However she was just saying the sound and they had to find it. Ahhhh... I felt so stupid b/c they are looking at me the adult to help them out and I am trying hard to find some of them. Now in my defense I knew most of them by the sound like e double ee always says e. But some of the sounds were not ones I practice very much. I can spell pretty good but man they had me stumped. I might have to sit in during phonics more often so I am perhaps smarter than a first grader.
