DMV Day

Today Ashleigh got her completion of Driver's Ed form and wanted to go to the DMV to get her permit right after school (of course!). Lucie's car was due for inspection and re-registration so we all went over right after school. (Elliott's bus was late arriving to his school so he just went home.) While Lucie and Ashleigh went in to get her permit, I went through the inspection and registration process. In Delaware, you have to go to the DMV and pull up to a giant garage like building with several bays. Once inside, they test your emissions and brakes and lights, etc. If you pass, you then get the privilege of going inside and waiting in another line to get the sticker for your license plate and new vehicle registration. Her car passed everything fine so I went in to stand in line. The good news is the line moved along pretty well and she is all squared away for 2 years now. The bad news is that we didn't bring Ashleigh's social security card (we brought her birth certificate but didn't know to bring the SS card) so she couldn't get the permit. We came home, Lucie got the card, and they just went back. From there they are going to the field hockey banquet.

I was able to fix a little problem on the kids' computer today by uninstalling and re-installing the program that was acting up. Had to do it twice but all seems good.

I have a small consulting job in Philly next week. I am looking forward to that.
