It was a bit of a long haul getting to that point, though - I was very nervous about it all - also felt like I should pass on the first try... which I'm happy to say that I did - but that was almost the easy part considering everything else that happened that day.
It started with a phone call just before I was about to leave for the DMV from one of the caregivers at my mom's home. She was calling to tell me that my mom had an accident that morning and piddled (my word) on her shoes - and could I bring some shoes for her - yeah - I'll get right on that! I don't keep extra shoes for my mother at my place! Where was I supposed to get these shoes? I told her that there were some dress shoes in the closet my mom could wear for now - and have since been to Target to stock up on slip on shoes - we're going to play shoe store on Christmas morning to see which shoes we keep and which shoes get taken back. God Bless Her!
So I leave to take the test and traffic is a mess! at 2pm in the afternoon - what's up with that? I finally get to the DMV and spend 15 minutes driving around the parking lot looking for a space - NIGHTMARE!!!! My favorite part, though...
One of the things you need to do is show proof that you graduated from high school - or equivalent. Well, I have no idea where my high school diploma is, but I have my college degree - so I bring that. The woman at the DMV is going down the checklist of all the paperwork that I need and gets to the high school part - I hand her my college diploma and she looks at it with a puzzled expression so I tell her that I can't find my high school diploma so I brought my college degree. She examines it - runs her hand over the seal on it - like I've forged it or something and then says she isn't sure if that will work - she needs to ask a supervisor - all the while I'm thinking - really - it's from the University of California - they don't usually let people in if they haven't graduated from high school! One of my friends said - yeah - it's not like it's from Sally's College of Beauty! So after much deliberation - and I suspect quite a bit of chatting - she comes back and says it's ok - after all that - the test was almost easy! Now as long as Sacramento doesn't kick it back to me! As we say in DMV class... 'DMV has no cents.'

Oh wow, what a day you had! And what a good daughter you are *smiles*.
Sorry you didn't get a temporary on the spot after passing the test. I wonder how long it's going to take DMV THIS time. *sigh*
LOL = your friend saying that it's not like you graduated from Sally's College of Beauty!
