Desperate times call for desperate measures.
My Dad tried to teach me once upon a time. I think he gave up on me. Dan tried teaching me two years ago. I was made to give up my seat after stalling in front of a semi.
The van was taken to the shop today (grand total ~ $650...could be a couple of days...we can't get ahead for anything.). That leaves me with no other option other than to learn how to finally drive a stick to get me back and forth to work.
So, with Dan being home, we set out this morning. Hoping not to return until I had it somewhat d0wn. Pressure. Dan's first requirement before getting into the driver's seat...I had to look hot. So, I put on some make up, got dressed, and put on my sexy shades. :-) Lookin good. It was only by the grace of God that I now think I can make it through the four stops to get me to work. Dan's a great teacher. I just passed. Hold your applause...I take my first drive alone in three minutes.

3 things to add:
Oh Beth, you'll get it!! It's not so hard once you get the hang of it!!
Silly Beth... You ALWAYS look HOT! So how did it go?!?
Oh my. I remember learning how to drive stick!. The worst part is getting going from a stop. My advice: avoid completely stopping {just really slow down as you approach a red light} & do rolling stops as much as possible until you get the hang of it. I know you're not supposed to....
Sorry about your setback :>(
You're welcome to trade your stick for my Buick until you get your mini-van back. It will fit all your kids in the back seat if you need to. Let me know :>)
