So here we are in the midst of summer. It was a little late getting here this year, but better late than never. Its crazy to think that school will be starting in a few short weeks. My summer hasn’t been nearly as fun as last year….been home a lot more. The travel bug is gnawing on me…bad. I should have sprayed for those.
My son has finally taken drivers ed. I may get a chance to hang up my taxi driver hat soon! He still doesn’t have the overwhelming urge to drive. Must be a recessive gene. I wanted to drive as soon as I hit my first birthday as a ‘teen’. I couldn’t turn 15 fast enough! 15 = drivers ed = drivers license. Oh and did I wanted to DRIVE. To the mall. To school. To the mall. To Albertsons. To the mall. To ANYWHERE. Like….the mall, for instance. I just wanted to drive. My son…..? not so much. Its so different for him than it was for me growing up. He can hop the bus and go anywhere he wants in the valley. I grew up in an area where buses came in 3 catagories – Greyhound, Site and school. I suppose I will be ‘taxi’ for a while longer….and I will savor the moments in the car together, just me and my son – singing a Bobby Darin song, talking about the day’s events, listening to a funny story about Moto or Ty. These precious minutes together will be gone soon enough.
