Day 8: Im thankful I concord one of my personal biggest fears yesterday!And for my husband for staying by my side and being my instructor. Not everyone knows this (but really ill be shocked if you have not guessed by my VERY lame excuses of why I cant go somewhere) but I have had a fear of driving for YEARS upon years. I mean we are talking panicking and paralyzing fear any time I get behind the wheel. I am VERY embarrassed by it and barely told anyone. When Lola came I knew I had to get over it. I wanted to be able to take my kids to playdates and to the store and to all these fun things. So Gus and I worked on it and he was NOTHING but patient and understanding. I took the test twice and failed both times (really before leaving the parking lot!) and so we practiced more and yesterday I passed! I can now drive! I am also thankful for friends like Misti Dianne and Aerianne Brockman who supported me in my no driving by driving me around in my pre kid days and picking me up A LOT so we could hang out.The Fort Worth bus system for helping me to get to work every day in my pre kid days. My dad Michael Kimberlin for teaching me to drive backwards (even if it was the ONLY thing I was able to do in a car until now) , my mom Robin Wooten for helping me parallel park (even if I can only do it perfectly in her truck) and listing to my panic attacks . Susan Taylor for being my first mom friend that I reviled my dirty secret to and being SUPER amazing and encouraging. Brandon Davis for at least trying to teach me in high school- and then taking me bowling after I failed. And to all my now friends who stayed by my side even when I made lame excuses about why I could not go on playdates or meet you somewhere. You all helped me get to where I am today- which is a mom who can DRIVE her kids ANYWHERE!!!
