My daughters first driving lesson

After my daughter woke up around 1 I made her bagels. Then she got dressed and my son, my daughter and I went down to the new coffee shop in town. It closed at 1 :( So I took my son home and took my daughter to the school for her first driving lesson. She went about 5 miles per hour literally lol. Once she came close to hitting a light pole, another a guardrail and another a dumpster but I didn’t think it was too bad. She’ll get the hang of it. We practiced for 35 minutes. By the time I got home my ankles were already swelling. I was hoping my husband was going to make us all dinner but he just made meat stuff for him and the boys :/ So I made fettuccine and corn for my daughter and I. I didn’t sleep much at all last night as usual so I’m exhausted today. I was so hot which I thought was odd with having a sunburn I figured I’d be really chilly. Tomorrow I have to take my daughter to her boyfriends house. They are planning to go to the movies. Since it’s an hour drive I’ll go geocaching in the area then pick her up 5 hours later or so and bring her home. Hopefully my feet don’t swell too bad. Photo is some pretty flowers I saw while out geocaching Saturday.

Those flowers are pretty. I hope you will not get too exhausted waiting for your daughter. Who gives driving lessons to your daughter?

@misunderstood_zombie I love yellow and orange flowers, not a color I would buy for a dress.

@LadyDuck Flowers are beautiful with these colors but most certainly not a dress.

I also thought the flowers were beautiful. I normally don't like that color very much but on this flower it works perfectly.

@RebeccasFarm I thought they were very pretty too. I have tiger Lily's that grow in my yard but they aren't as pretty as these kind of Lily's I dont think.

Those flowers are so pretty. Did you have fun geocaching and find any? I hope your feet didn't swell and your daughter gets better with her driving.

@noni1959 I've done well with the swelling until the past few days. Elevating my feet hasn't helped. It's quite painful to walk on. I think my geocaching days are over for now.

The flowers are really pretty. It's a bit of a nightmare teaching your children to drive but they all make it eventually.

@JudyEv she was born with nystagmus so we weren't sure if she would ever even be able to drive. So far so good.

Beautiful flower. You have to rest your legs every now and then.

@thelme55 something I ate last night gave me little flesh colored bumps all over the top of my feet. It itched so very bad. I had to resort to taking Benedryl. I slept a full night for the first time during this pregnancy. My feet were still a little swollen from it this morning though. I had a lot of housework to do unfortunately but I've gotten about two hours today where I was able to elevate my feet.

@thelme55 yep something I ate I must have been allergic to but I have no clue what it was

@shaggin Maybe you are allergic to what you have eaten. You have to elevate your feet every now and then. Have a nice Friday.

Love these lilies, a gorgeous color. Glad our all were able to get out and enjoy the day. Maybe you can rest today and keep your feet elevated.

@CarolDM yes they are very vibrant! There's never much time where I'm able to rest. The housework piles up so fast. I washed one floor but can't do the other two today it's to much on my belly getting down on my hands and knees to wash them.

If they had brown "freckles" on the petals, they would be tiger lilies. But they're nice enough on their own. Did you find anything else interesting while geocaching?

@snowy22315 yes it is very nerve wracking. My husband has been using my car the past two days so we haven't been out driving again. I don't get much free time with cooking cleaning appointments etc.

It wasn't that bad. When I first learnt, I'm sure my dad almost had a heart attack.

They grow so fast. My granddaughter just received her license and it feels like she should still be in elementary school.

@prashu228 thank you. I drove her to his house today. They are going to the movies again. Usually I stay in the area and go geocaching but my feet are swelling to much to do anything so he will bring her home tonight.
