Down with the DMV

Soooo, I've been a little preoccupied these last four months, as if I need to mention that.  I happened to let a little thing slide....my driver's license.  Today I randomly noticed that it expired on my birthday this year and I was shocked.  I was bummed that I'd have to pay a fee and take the written test, but ok fine I'll take my medicine....or so I thought!

Boy was I wrong!!!  I did have to pay a fee and I did have to take the written test, both of which I did today.  I took the test cold and passed with flying colors thank you very much!  However, I have to take the driving test also!!  That's right my friends, I am only legal to drive WITH a licensed driver in the passenger seat.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME??  I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR 15 YRS WITH AN IMPECCABLE RECORD I MIGHT ADD AND NOW THE STUPID STATE OF OHIO IS MAKING ME A TEENAGER AGAIN!!!!  Needless to say, I'm not happy about this.  Here's the kicker: I can't take said driving test, maneuverability included, until August 10th.  Looks like this stay at home mommy is truly staying home for a while....stupid state of Ohio!!

7/30/10 UPDATE: Ok, so the DMV isn't so bad in Ravenna, OH.  I called yesterday and they were able to get me in this morning at 8:30.  By 9:00 I was a legal driver again!!  I just barely passed the driving test, apparently my right turns are too wide.  I'll be sure to work on this.
