It all started last night when I looked up what our Roseville DMV's hours are. FYI, it opens on Thursdays at 8 a.m. So I set my alarm for 7:30. My goal: be there when they open to minimize the DMV experience. A noble goal, yes, however at 7:30 a.m. I was not as convinced I need to execute this game plan to it's fullest potential. My child was still sleeping and I'm sure you've heard the age-old saying, "never wake a sleeping baby". So I had to sleep in some more. It was the right thing to do.
She woke up around 8 and we got to the DMV at 8:30. There was virtually no parking. I was rethinking my decision to let sleeping babies lie... Not only that, there were loads of people inside. Ugh. I got my number and my form and sat. Rosanna kept me busy by helping me fill out my form and wriggling around to scope out each person sitting near us. She's pro at making new friends. The best part about our trip was the automated voice that called out who was next to be helped. You know the kind, "Now serving number g-zero-two-nine at window five". My kid, she is so awesome, she heard that as her cue to show off her moves. Every time the voice would come on, she would do her head bob, body shake to the 'music' of the lady's voice. I wish I was able to find the happiness in unexpected moments like she does. I love her!
I purposefully brushed my hair and did a quick make-up job before I left the house because I knew I would be getting a new picture, what I didn't know was that I would be taking a test. Yup, a written test. With a baby. I had one of those moments, while reading the questions (I could only miss 3 and still pass) where I was sure I knew the answer yet two of the options seemed viable. I could see myself, arguing my point to the test-corrector person. I'm sure he would LOVE that. I was victorious though, only missing 2 and sparing the lovely DMV worker a debate.
Cross your fingers for me that my picture turns out nice. I even made sure I was stretching my neck up to create the illusion of only having one chin. Nice.
Here are a few holiday pictures for your sweet tooth!
Heaviest. Popcorn. Ever.
"Pick me up mommy"

Super holiday pic
Dude! I had to take a test too!I missed two. Totally sucky right? I was shocked! They said it was randomly chosen by the computer system that X number of people renewing their DL have to take the written test. LAME. I was in their with some 16 year old girl biting her nails- thinking you have got to be kidding me. I seriously thought I was going to get it revoked. I'm not a crappy driver! I promise! :) P.S. Photos- super cute. :)
ReplyDeleteYay for passing the test! I think you should have gotten extra points for doing it with a baby. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the popcorn pic. She looks like one of those New Zealand natives doing their 'intimidation' dance. lol!
From what I hear, you were lucky to get the in without an appointment! But yeah for Rosie making the best out of a new adventure! By the time she's looking for her first license...flying cars!
