it's been done.


Got my new licence picture. Not sure how I feel about it but it's done now, I'm stuck with it. Getting the damn thing was frustrating, as I imagined it would be. Friday, I got ready, did my hair and makeup, looked on the website to see what I needed to bring with me, packed the kids into the car and drove to the DMV. I was gonna do it real fast on my way to drop the girls off with Grandma before work. So, I get there, wait in line (all the while pleading with Ceec and giving her the stern "mom look" when she would try to run around. Finally, it was my turn. Guess what? The very pleasant (and by very pleasant, I mean terribly rude and inconsiderate) lady told me I needed my marriage certificate. Umm... No, I dont. The website said nothing about a marriage licence. Plus, why? My name has been my married name for 6 years. Ive had a licence renewed before WITH my married name. I was pretty mad, got bitchy and tried to argue with her but she shut me down quick and told me I needed it and there was nothing more she could do. I stormed out and it took the rest of the night to cool down.
The next morning (saturday) I went back, without my marriage certificate, and the guy updated it, took my picture and didnt say another word. I hate stupid people. thank god I dont have to do that again until 2017.

Oh yeah, and tomorrow is my birthday!!!
