Yesterday the DH and I added our daughter to the car
insurance policy. The reality has set in that we have a child old enough to
drive! I don’t feel nearly old or mature enough to have a child driving! This
leads me to wonder will I ever be mature enough to raise my children. Despite
my feeling immature my girls are wonderful human beings and even though I making
it up as I go they’re okay.
DD (Driving Daughter) has a job and already pays for her
cell phone and now she will add car insurance to her monthly bills. She doesn’t
appear distressed about this prospect, but I’m sure that will change when she
writes me the check for her share next month.
We set a few rules for use of the car.
- No
friends in the car until we deem she’s ready. - If she
drives to school she must drive her sister home unless she has to work. - If she
misses an insurance payment she loses her driving privileges for the month
or until she pays her bill. - She
must pay for her own gas. - No
talking or texting while driving. If caught doing either she will lose her
driving privileges for the time the DH and I deem appropriate.
I guess those rules go against me saying I’m immature. I am
mostly immature but occasionally my mature parental side appears.
Now for the immature writer side of me, NaNo is going well!
I should be close to 20K tomorrow. I won’t get much writing time tomorrow
because I’ll be renewing my CPR and First Aid certificates. And the fact that I
don’t usually write in the weekends, I will take my notebook with me so I can
try and write during the breaks.
I just found out that I'll have the entire Thanksgiving
Weekend to myself. My DH and DD's are going to
so excited! I'm sad I'll miss the kids skating, but having four full days alone
is precious. I get to replenish my soul! And curl up on the couch with my
puppies and watch movies. I'm hoping I'll have reached the 50K goal so I can
take the chick lit novel I'm writing and twist it into the horror novel that is
knocking on my skull. My notebooks are filled with Post Its on the ideas of
where to twist and rewrite. But since I decided to write a chick lit book I am
going to finish it and then get back to what I love, Horror.
Until next time, live well now.
