Driving and the meme

[becca1326]

First thing first...Happy belated Easter all. Hope it was good for you. I enjoyed my weekend. Minus the fact that Chris was off the whole weekend and we barely spent any time together. I mean we had some time just not as much as I was hoping. Him golfing on saturday kinda pissed me off. Not the fact he went. He does need some down time. It just after when your done come home. I would like some down time as well. We had a great dinner that night. i roasted a lamb leg and some potatoes and put some veggies. My sister brought dessert. Yum. This yummy mix of marshmellows, whip cream, cherry pie filling and graham crumbs. Yum. Also some crave cupcakes. Double yum. I enjoyed the company and the dinner. Chris actually sat at the table with us and was social. It was a surprise a nice one. After Sophie went to bed I made up the easter baskets and hide the eggs. It was a good time. She woke up just before 8 and didnt see them. One was on her pillow. Anyways she crawled into bed with us. She fell asleep with her new sandals on the night before. Refused to take them off. It was "nice" to cuddle with a shoed toddler. Not so much. Anyways a few minutes later Lucas woke up. It really woke her up. Then she noticed the eggs. LOL. She freaked right out. It was fun. I got alot of pictures taken. We got dressed and went to my grandparents for lunch. OMG. I think I ate my days calories in just the lasgna then we also had cutlets, salad, watermelon and tiramisu. I was so full that I didnt eat for the rest of the day. lol. It was enjoyable lunch. Lasgna is my favorite meal. After lunch, I went for my first driving lesson. OMG!!! Stressful. Chris drove me to the city limits then got in the passenger side. We had the kids in the back seat. I think it was worse that they were there but they fell asleep soon into the drive. I was ok as soon as we got to this backroad. There is very little traffic but there is stop signs and turns so that I could practice turning and stopping and such. I was able to actually enjoy it a bit. Lots of things to think about when you are driving. Its crazy. I was trying to stay by the yellow line but it was a single lane road that had traffic going in both directions and I felt as if I was driving into on coming traffic. Apparently i was a little too close to the side of the road and the ditch. I manange to fix it. Then it was time to turn around and head home. I was able to do that but the turning around was a bit stressful. The sides of the road both had water in the ditches. It was really stressful to try and turn around. Chris is a pretty good teacher but he doesnt know how to tell me that Im doing something wrong without freaking out. It stressed me out. So anyways I get us turned around and start heading home. There was a lot more cars heading home. There was also a train. Stress. I had been having some issues with stopping so having a motorcyle behind me and two cars ahead of me and a train was stressful. I stopped properly. It was good but stressful.Before I knew it I was almost home. I was ok until we the major road. Then I was not ok. Chris got me to pull over but apparently i did that wrong too. Wrong side of the lane or dirt road. It was a road used for construction but it was the weekend so nobody was there. He freaked. Told me I was in on coming traffic. I had to move the vehicle right away. I was so stressed at this point. I managed to get us on the right side but at that point I was almost in tears. I dont think he realized that. Sad part is that we were 10 mins away from home. If he had been able to deal with my stress better...who knows I might have been able to get us home. I know with more practice it will get better. I just hope that I dont need an adavan to get behind the wheel with cars around or driving in the city because I had some major anxiety going on. I was proud that I was able to do some of it. Driving has always been terrifying to me. I was extremely proud of myself. A little disappointed that I let the stress get the best of me. I was really stressed at the end. To the point of jittery. I think I want to drive in the city at night or early in the morning on the weekends to get used to the traffic lights and such before I try again in the day. Or if it is in the day...then just strictly out of the city. No major roads. Need to become accustom to the stress.

So on to the meme. Day 11- A song from your favorite band. I dont really have a favorite band. I love music in general. I get favorite songs of the moment or favorite groups of the moment. I have groups that I like and have like for a long time. So I picked a group that I like a lot of their songs. I am picking Bon Jovi. Not sure if he is classified as a band but I am classifying him as that. I loved his 80's rock, 90's pop and in the new millenium country. My favorite song is bed of roses.I went and saw him in concert a few years ago. It was an amazing concert. I would love to see him again. He didnt play my favorite song but he played so many others. It was amazing I love so many of his songs that it is hard to pick one but I think that is my favorite song by him. So here it is Bon Jovi Bed of Roses.

Day 12- A song from a band/group that you hate. I dont hate music. There is many different artists that express themselves in many ways. That being said..you will never find Korn on my playlist of any kind. I find the music way too aggressive. I know that there are a lot of people who love them but I just cant get into it.
