Slackerpapa…fugitive from justice

A few days ago Marilyndrove down to get me so we could take Evie to her 4 month well baby appointment.  While driving down the street I suddenly realized:

me: aww crap
her: what?
me: I forgot to renew my drivers license
her: well what did you do that for?
me: I dunno…just that sorta bear I guess

My drivers license expired on my birthday last month. For most people (and for me under normal circumstances) renewing ones drivers license is not such a big deal but when it came time to renew this year I had Very Special Circumstances. Those of you who read my wifes blog have already heard this story so you’re excused from the rest of this post. For the rest of you I went in about 6 weeks ago for emergency surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. This was 2 days before my birthday which was also the day my drivers license renewal was up. Long story short in the hubub of recovering from surgery, being out of town at the time and extending our stay because I couldn’t travel, and the time suckage that is my life in the summer I completely forgot about my drivers license until the moment above. The good news is that the State of Nevada gives a 60 day grace period to renew your license so I’m good as long as I get it done in the next week or so. Just another reason that I suck.

    Hey, you’re not alone. Both my hubby and I BOTH let our birthdays go by this year without renewing. His bday is after mine and I even tweaked him about it once or twice.. “Hey, Don’t forget to renew your license. I forgot for a few weeks and it takes a few weeks to get the new one in the mail.” And? Yep. A few days after his birthday I hear “Ooooops..” We don’t suck ;) We all just have better things to do than pay to renew something that never really changes anyway!
