Diva’s Gettin’ Wheels

And oh boy am I glad I’m not the one giving her the car. I cannot believe how expensive it is for auto insurance for a teenage girl. She’s an A student and took Driver’s Ed. For full coverage it will be $200 a month. For just insurance on the other guy, $100 a month. I just don’t remember it being that horribly high when I was a teen. Mine was $25 a month and really, it still is. I wonder how much it would be if she didn’t have her own car and was just an occasional driver on mine or her father’s car.

I am not looking forward to the day she heads off in a car by herself for the first time. It will be the first time I won’t be able to protect her. There are so many idiots out there driving. So many things to distract a teenage driver. I don’t want to think about it any more!

Back to School!

Today was the kids’ first day back. We went yesterday and bought some clothes. I stocked up on paper, folders, pencils, and pens. I’m sure they’ll both come home with a list of stuff we didn’t get yesterday. I love all the school supplies. Crayola always comes out with something cool that I can use in my art.

As soon as I get a moment to take some pics, I have a sweater in progress for Diva to show you all, and some yarny goodness I spun up myself. I’ve also been playing with some dyes. I’ve had teal and raspberry colored hands. I’ve spent today catching up on some writing assignments and doing laundry. Hopefully I can get it all done tomorrow so I can go to knitting circle Friday morning. I haven’t been since school let out for the summer. Yay for school!
