Thank you for checking in and thinking of us! 💕

YES he did pass, in 3 minutes - and the instructor said he did amazing on parallel parking - he was scheduled for 2pm and they arrived early (I paid the driving school to practice and take him) and no one else was there so he was off, tested and finished by 1:45pm!!! I thought I had time so I was 30 minutes away from the DMV (oh, and the test site was an hour from my home -- they pass you there so we took the secnic route to the test!) so by the time I got to the DMV, we had to wait another 20 minutes got his photo and official licence. So exciting!!! 🤩

Once we got home, I called my insurance company, they had quoted me $68 a month.... now it's $288 a month!!!! I cannot afford that and it's insane there would be THAT much of a difference. I was deflated and my son was upset.... his permit was free and now he has to be covered. That's fine, but not at this quote, *&^%$#@! crazy!!!! 😱

So I spent 5 hours on the phone trying to get new policy quotes, it's mentally exhuasting doing this last minute - and for no good reason. I could have done this weeks ago. Or waited 9 months and had him retake the written test and kept his permit (for free) ... the whole thing made me cry. I was so upset ... and of course my son's dad has to pay his share so he wasn't happy, it's just a mess now! I did find a quote that is reasonable (under $900 for him and me on a policy for 6 months) but every 6 monthsI have to get a new quote. So it's all more than I planned for. For a kid who is a safe driver and maybe drives 2 hours a week - maybe?!?! Beyond words I can post here!!! 🤬

Your post made me smile, I needed that! Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰

A Gaia day.... does it come with a million dollar prize? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am glad the weekend is coming, I need it big time!! Hugs to you my sweet friend! 😘💗
