A year ago I blogged about teaching my daughter how to drive. I’m happy to report I survived the process! In fact, I think my daughter is a better driver than I am, because she follows all the rules.
Next week, she will take her driving test. I’m sure she will pass with flying colors. Everyone keeps asking me if I’m ready for her to drive on her own and my answer is, “Yes!”
While I will be nervous the first few times she heads out by herself, it’s the opportunity to loosen the parental reigns a little bit more. Plus, it will free up a lot of my time. I’ll no longer have to schlep her all over the place! 
I remember when I got my license, I couldn’t wait to run errands for my mom so I could take the car for a spin. I’m hoping my daughter feels the same way. If that’s the case, I may never have to go to the grocery store..until she goes off to college!
