Passing the driving test was one of the hardest things I've ever done. It was actually scarier than childbirth with Faith. Mostly because the woman testing me was intimidating as all get out. She was the same one who failed me twice two years ago. I was POSITIVE she was going to fail me again. But she says, "well, you passed your driving test", etc, and I quit listening. Way to make my birthday!
2-4 weeks and I will have the real thing not just the temporary. Can't wait!

My birthday, beyond passing the test, was actually pretty great. Dustin and I went to TGI Fridays and a movie while LaJuana, Kathy and the kids watched Faith. Have you ever been craving something and not quite sure what it is and you keep trying different things to figure out what it is you want? Well, I have ben craving red meat. So at TGI Fridays, I ordered the petite sirloin and mashed potatoes - they have amazing mashed potatoes - and the first bite was so divine. It was exactly - EXACTLY - what I have been craving. So perfect! I believe that if you can't get excited about your food than there's no point in eating well. You may as well eat one thing all the time. It won't matter to you anyway.

Anyway, I'm doing okay today except for the little craziness with Faith earlier. She scared herself playing in the closet, and cried a little bit. So, being a good mommy and not wanting her to do it again, I very gently and sweetly helped her out of her situation and set her on the floor outside the closet. And she promptly began screaming at the top of her lungs. Like I had killed her or something. She has started this ridiculous fit-throwing thing. She doesn't even have the timing for it to make sense as a fit. She just waits for a few minutes, kind of fussing, and then, THEN, she flips out. Completely. I have no idea what to do about it. It's the perfect button to push for complete and utter frustration in Mommy.

Anyway, later, gators. Have a good day!
