Busy, busy time
I haven’t blogged for awhile, not of a lack of things to say, I always have something to say. Life has just been busy busy. We are now into the second week of summer vacation and things are fabulous. Seriously, this summer has be very pleasant and things have been running very smoothly.
I am hoping to get some time to do more posts. I have pictures and a lot of things to say!
Momzoo is a Dummy!
I am a dummy.
Hi, my name is Momzoo
and I am a dummy!
About three o’clock this morning I woke up out of a dead sleep remembering that my Drivers Licence had expired on Sunday, my birthday. “What is the big deal” you all think, “just fill out the forms and mail them in”…well….umm…..it should be that easy but….. You see Momzoo is also a little lazy and a bit of a procrastinator. Actually a huge procrastinator. I did get a letter in the mail about 3 months ago from the DMV, or who ever they are, stating that the name on my SSN and the name on my Drivers Licence didn’t match. Well, that is true, you see I never completely changed my name when I married Dadzoo 10 years ago. My SSN still has my maiden name Aimee Johnson, and my Drivers licence has my married name Aimee Johnson Kieffer.
I know, I know….I swear I was going to get around to it, but the last 10 years have been busy, and really the only time I remembered was at tax time when I filed under my maiden name. Really, I didn’t keep my maiden name because I wanted to make sure I really wanted Kieffer as a last name, I do, I truly want to take my husbands name, but like I said, I have been busy……
When I woke up I got on-line to see what I needed to do. On the web site it said that if your licence has lapsed that you needed to be prepared to do the written and driving test.
Come again?
Did that mean since my licence was lapsed for 4 days I needed to take the driving test again? Oh Crud! I was only 4 days late (and with the wrong name) and my driving record is pristine (OK, there was that one speeding ticket, but I swear I didn’t know I was going over the speed limit!)

So I am feeling a little sick again at this point. I am having visions of spending the morning at the Social Security office in Salt Lake and the DMV all afternoon trying to pass my tests. Thank goodness Dadzoo was working from home, then I could at least leave the kids at home. But what happens if I don’t pass? I can’t just drive myself home, heck, I really shouldn’t be driving myself there either….I don’t have a valid drivers licence
!
I was panicking, really starting to panic!
Then (trumpets sounding) Dadzoo to the rescue. Instead of fretting and worrying like I was doing he called the DMV…hmmmm…..good idea, and found out that since I was only 4 days late I didn’t need to take any test over again, since I had a good driving record (except for that one speeding ticket…ok…maybe it was two speeding tickets) and all I needed to do was show my Social Security card with my old name and my Drivers Licence with my new name on it.
That was it.
No biggy.
Good ‘ol Dadzoo taking charge, finding out the facts, solving problems while I was melting into a puddle having visions of never being able to drive again….
I like Dadzoo’s style.
It has been a while
It has been a while since I did a post. The last few days have been crazy! My kids are on Spring Break, so we have been busy doing a whole lot of nothing! Actually we have been doing a whole lot of spring cleaning….yipee for me, not a lot of fun for them.
Thursday we deep cleaned the bed rooms. From the cobwebs on the ceilings to the dust on the baseboards. We cleaned out closets and drawers. About a year ago my two oldest punks move to a new bedroom down stairs. My oldest has a hard time being that far away from her Mom, so we moved her back upstairs and moved Punk #3 downstairs with her sister. That move filled most of Thursday, and so far Punk #1 is doing much, much better.
Friday is our normal cleaning day. I scrubbed kitchens and bathrooms. We also took a couple of hours and went to the park (forgot the camera).
Yesterday (Saturday) my PIC spend the day building me a chicken coop. My chickens are getting big and need some more space. I spent the day running errands and holding up wire and boards where needed. I will post some pictures as soon as I can. I am very excited about my cute little coop.
Last week was a nice week. It was fun having the kids home and getting a lot checked off my to-do list. We have had a lot of wind!!! ARGH!!! I think Wednesday was the only day there weren’t horrible winds! It is driving me nuts! Last night there was so much dust in the air I had to shut the windows, even though the temps were really nice. I am seriously weary of this wind!
On a better note. I got some really beautiful pictures of these itty bitty daffodils that I planted. They are really sweet.
Here they are next to my regular daffodils. See how tiny they are. I planted 100 bulbs, and if it wasn’t so stinking windy I could get out and enjoy them! (and they wouldn’t fade as quickly)
Ode to the WIND
